We have a self-guided trail round Filnore Woods based on 20 numbered posts. Post 1 is just inside the entrance. You turn right, passing the path up to the pylon and in the far corner you come to post 2. It is actually painted on a cherry tree, which makes it a little more vandal-proof. Can you see the number, just above the ivy?
The arrow shows you which way to go for post 3. The brown sticky stuff trickling over the painted number is resin. Cherries, plums and other prunuses produce resin to protect themselves from infection when they are wounded. This may be a response to the stripping off of some bark, or whatever caused the depressed bark above the resin discharge.
