Our volunteers have worked with Croydon Council to get some new signage installed / replaced / fixed on Section 4 of the #LondonLoop - and to add waymark discs to new posts from our stocks.

Great to see these newly installed posts and signs in place making the route easier for everyone to follow.

Five people wearing bright coats and rucksacks are walking up a road with light rain falling around them. There are trees on either side.

A wise philosopher* said "The way I see it, if you want the #rainbow, you gotta put up with the #rain!" And on this #walktober wander through many woods just outside the M25 yesterday with @metwalkers.bsky.social we were graced with both (and much more beauty I'll share later)

A small wooden sculpture of a boy wearing antiquated clothing is seen inside an empty shop, it has a sign saying "Venue space available" hanging from its hands. There is a reflection of the building opposite visible around it.

"Table for one. And I want the gingerbread starters…"
"Please sir, can I have some more linseed oil?"

#Halloween is starting to get creepy already, seen on a very snaking @metwalkers.bsky.social saunter through #Fitzrovia where we were led past 50 bars, but only entered one.

The iconic white cliffs of Seven Sisters as seen from a drone showing the green grass on top of the white chalk and the sea below

The iconic white cliffs of Seven Sisters as seen from a drone showing the green grass on top of the white chalk and the sea below

It's a view that never gets old. β €
β €
If you're walking along the coast just remember that cliff falls happen at random.
β €
Soak up the views but please enjoy well away from the edge and base, and keep your dog safely on the lead.

View over Albert Bridge, lit up at night. Crossing the road in front of some cars is what looks like part of an impossibly thin figure - a foot, connecting to a leg and arm - but only a blur where body and head should be.

A large clock above a shop window has the text "Worlds end" on it, and its one clear clock hand has the image of an arm holding a sword attached to it.

Under two small air vents someone has drawn a mouth with its tongue sticking out, and above the vents are two eyebrows, creating the appearance of a face.

#FacesInPlaces - and misty legs, floating arms. I know we're a few weeks off #Halloween, but it was getting a bit spooky as the @metwalkers.bsky.social wandered around #Chelsea yesterday
