Made it! Followed the route on my website up Pen-y-Ghent. Wonderful walk on a great day. A couple of random pictures of Hull Pot. Dramatic picture of a fingerpost I am saving for #FingerpostFriday!

Not posted a #FingerpostFriday in a while. Here’s one from the Peak District seen while walking from Castleton to Mam Tor.

Photo of a six fingered wooden finger post standing next to a dry stone wall. In the background behind the wall are green fields divided up by more drystone walls. In the distance is a farm and behind that the peak of a hill. The sky is full of moody grey clouds.

A wooden square post has three wooden pointers. Two, in opposite direction, point along the Thames path and say so. A third one is perpendicular and points to a Public Footpath. There are green trees in the background.

Some helpful directional graffiti in Shrewsbury yesterday.

#FingerpostFriday

A photo showing three blue sign arms on a lamppost sited on a riverside walk, the rather murky river behind. The sign arms indicate various destinations for a cycle path, including one with a steep incline to the town centre. Someone has added their own information in white paint, including distances. They have also added directions to the railway station, two alternatives with one via steps just after the bridge ahead (they have drawn on steps under the figure of a person walking). They have also given the pedestrian a sword and shield. On another sign arm the figure of a pedestrian has an umbrella and what appears to be a wheelie suitcase (not sure but apparently it’s ‘small!’). An old penny-farthing bicycle has also been drawn on. A mixture of factual information and random doodling; useful and fun.
Trees line the opposite bank of the river. The sky is cloudy with a hint of blue.

Did you know that you can start the Camino de Santiago in the UK? It's called the Camino Inglés and runs from Reading to Southampton.

Lunchtime walk. I love the texture of the field as it rises up the sides of the valley. #fingerpostfriday

This doesn't meet the criteria for tomorrow's #FingerpostFriday so I shall designate today as #TurnstileThursday.

This is one end of FP28 near Willaston, #Wirral.

I was part of a workparty trimming back the nettles, bracken and brambles this morning.

#Volunteering

A galvanised circular kissing gate between two wooden posts and various strands of barbed wire. There is greenery behind and a footpath.  One of the posts has signs and arrows indicating the path.
In front of the stile is a set of 3 worn sandstone steps suggesting that the path has been here a while and that there used to be an older more traditional stile.

Walked up what I presume is Montgomery Hill via fp12. Very narrow initially with some low hanging branches (ouch!) but some lovely views thereafter. #fingerpostFriday #Wirral

Oha, da hab ich einige. Dieser hilfreiche #Wegweiser stand am #Dover Castle // Oh, I have several of those. I found this helpful #signpost at #DoverCastle

#signage #sign #FingerpostFriday
A signpost, covered in colourful patterned fabric and small round stickers, stands in a patch of green ground cover. The signpost has a single directional arrow pointing to the right. Behind it are bare trees against a blue sky. A wire fence is visible in the mid-ground. The fabric on the post and arrow features a repeating floral and geometric pattern with pink, blue, and white as prominent colours. The round stickers are scattered across the signpost.

#FingerpostFriday question - what to do if one's pointing the wrong way? On the Strand this one is saying the way to the #Thames is up between #LSE & #RoyalCourtsOfJustice, not down the hill, which is what'll actually get you to the #river and #ThamesPath

Try and push it back (if you can reach) - or might that damage it? Who to tell? FixMyStreet, or somewhere else?
