Dist:0.6km<br/>These waymarker posts are spaced every 100m or so to ensure that walkers don't get too lost in the network of paths threading through the dunes. Every single post I saw there today has been sprayed with the word 'EYESORE'. The artist has a point; this environment is beautiful, natural and relatively untouched by human hand today and the waymarker posts seem like a 'keep off the grass' sign. However, to prevent visitors stomping about in this delicate natural zone they serve a purpose in channelling people through. Surely real eyesores are a more valid target. Every single wind turbine in Mid Wales maybe? Knock yourself out...
