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.

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. https://surreyhills.org/places-to-see/lovelace-bridges/

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

An old and a new fingerpost. Different designs.

#FingerpostFriday compare and contrast.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Fingerpost, old but clear. Warning sign 'frogs crossing' next to it.

#FingerpostFriday for frogs.
On #SlowWays Viregh1

Two large beech trees. Road, then a bank, mostly thick intertwined tree roots, then two trunks with wooden fence between. Dappled sunlight.

##ThickTrunkTuesday on #SlowWays between Redhill and Caterham (Radcat3).

Path in a park close to the North Bank of the Thames. Huge plane trees provide shade.

City of Westminster.

Autodynamic.

Clear footpath sign, Longcross, with completely faded road signs. Snail feeding trails on the road signs. Near Virginia Water.

#FingerpostFriday the footpath sign endures.

Blue metal fingerpost on a pavement pointing out walkable locations. It stands in front of the old market hall (1708) in Reigate.

Stout wooden fingerpost with one finger pointing right to Matching Tye, spelt T Y E not T I E.

Maintaining proper interfaces is the strategy of eating.

In Moreton, not a neuroma in sight. B&W fingerpost, carefully repainted.

Moreton for #FingerpostFriday

Solid rustic wooden bench, a well-earned sit down after a steep hill. A view for miles. A ridge in the distance, quarry lakes, and woods midground. Chalk downs, looking down on kestrels.

North Downs.

Difficult now, many paths closed due to HS2. Hopefully only temporarily.

Wooden 3 way post on the North Downs. Surrounded by trees, ash in the foreground.

An ash with a beer belly.

Sheltered from a shower, a log to sit on, a crusty sandwich, a cup of tea, and this view.
And exhale....

Traditional back and white fingerpost with circular 'polo mint' location on the top. Road and verge in background.

Hughenden for ##FingerpostFriday

Tree on a bank, intertwined roots snaking down to the path. Everything is a shade of green. Chilterns.

Black recycled plastic fingerpost on The Ridgeway footpath. Hmmmm?

'Plaswood' Ridgeway #FingerpostFriday .
Recycled agricultural plastic. Very soft in hot weather. Not sure about putting more plastic into the environment.

Golden wheat field with path straight through it. Hedges and trees on the distant hill.

#Buckinghamshire on Friday

My view right now. #FingerpostFriday
About to sit in the shade.
