A LONG POST

We have 20 numbered posts to help guide you round Filnore Woods.   Unfortunately some of them have been targeted by encroaching vegetation, decay, wind or fire.

Posts 1 to 4 are OK and post 5, leading down to the footbridge, has just been rescued from oblivion by our volunteers.




Post 6 has been used by someone lazy as fuel for a bonfire .. .. ..


.. .. ..  and we assume post 8 went the same way.


Post 7 disappeared a while ago so we have painted the number on a nearby, smooth-barked beech tree.

Post 9 disappears and re-appears on a regular basis after being replaced in its hole several times.  It's back again now but for a back-up we shall paint the number on the oak tree (below left), but the bark is not so smooth.

Post 10 on an even younger oak.  The paper label is wearing out so we must get painting.

         

Post 11 rotted off so the end will be sawn off and a shorter post reinstated.


Post 12 is fine, and the next sign pointing the way to posts 13 -20.


 Let me know if you see any other posts in need of attention.
