This year's line-up for the Banstead - Woodmansterne planted wheelbarrow race. #FingerpostFriday

Decorative planted wheelbarrows sit in a row behind traditional black and white fingerpost. Next to a roundabout in Banstead.

Camouflaged fingerpost for #FingerpostFriday.
On The #SlowWays route Easlea1

Ivy covered wooden fence with ivy covered wooden post. On the top the ivy is brown like the fingers of the post. Near Leatherhead, on Slow Ways route Easlea1 between East Horsley and Leatherhead.

Topical mucky river pictures of the #RiverWye in Chepstow. The Wye is currently one of the focuses of the UK's biggest environmental lawsuit so far.

View from the old bridge in Chepstow. The tide is out and the river and its banks look very muddy. Houses are on the hill above limestone cliffs, on the English side.

#ThickTrunkTuesday
Ficus Macrofolia

Ficus Macrofolia in Alicante, Spain.
Roots from the high branches droop to the ground and become another trunk. 20+ trunks of one tree perhaps 9m across.

Four, like the previous reviewer. Good route, but good legs needed.

Dorking to East Horsley #SlowWays yesterday, Easdor2.
Beautiful (steep) walk through Surrey countryside.

A snail, the SlowWays symbol. This, a particularly large and old one.

V-shaped path downhill through woodland. Inviting bright exit in the distance.

Trees nestled in a gentle valley. Old cottage peeps above the hedges.

Lovelace bridges in woodland. Made for horses dragging timber.

#FingerpostFriday compare and contrast.

An old and a new fingerpost. Different designs.

Pavement parking impacts everyone. This is why we want to see measures that address it so children don’t have to weave between cars and people with visual impairments, who use wheelchairs, or who push prams have freedom to use the pavement.

Five years of waiting: Pavement parking is a problem for everyone

It's time for the government to act and give councils in England the power to enforce against pavement parking.

Very walkable, although the Northern half was more enjoyable. Managed to dodge the rain showers 🌦

Narrow path through greenery alongside Wraysbury Lake. Ominous clouds overhead.

No, I think the 'Toad Migratory Warning' sign counts for amphibians in general. But I liked the toads/roads, frogs/footpath/fingerpost alliteration.
I also like that it folds in half, for when amphibians are not ambulating.
