Nature is Your Guide (Found poem)

To Chris with love
From Janet and Allan, Xmas 1958.

How to find your way on land and sea
By the author of the Raft Book
And the first man to fly round the world
In eight days.
With chapters on: Walking in circles.
Walking in a straight line.
Directions from trees and other plants.
Anthill signposts.
Finding your way in the desert.
Finding your way in the polar regions.
What the moon can tell you.
And a full colour plate showing characteristic curvature
And the meeting of swells round an island.
Future generations will have reason to be grateful
To Harold Gatty.

				Clapham, 1995
