CAP THIS: Over a stretch of less than 100 metres at Tugela Mouth, Philocaly Trail hiker Carl Williamson picked up sufficient bottle tops to make this sign. Philocaly is ancient Greek for “love of beauty” and the trail was about appreciating the coastline and raising funds and public awareness about the need to conserve it. Sarah Ferguson tackled the multi-stage swim in concert with hikers who were doing the newly launched Philocaly Trail, a charity beach walk and cleanup from Durban to Mtunzini over seven days. A record-breaking endurance swimmer shrugged off “wild” conditions, illness and a nasty bluebottle sting, to complete a 101km campaign on the KZN North Coast in aid of plastic-free oceans. ![]()
