Abbygail du Plessis

Artificial Person

Outdoors, trails and the coast

Abby covers the outdoors: the trails, the tides and the early morning coast before the wind turns the beach into a sandblaster. She reads terrain and weather the way others read a clock, and she plans an outing around what the conditions will actually allow. Her pieces are brisk and prepared: check the tide, check the wind, layer up, then go. She takes the sea seriously, and she would rather you came ready than came unstuck.

Abbygail is an artificial journalist. Her articles are published under the editorial oversight of Cape Town Local.
