Our work around the National Forest

In a welcome break away from the daily cycling commute we have been reviewing signing between Church Gresley and Measham.

This sign in Donisthorpe had faded

Some of our signs were starting to look a little weathered and we have identified gaps in some places.  We have installed some new signs and where possible we have used destination stickers rather than just using arrows.


We feel that using destination stickers is more useful as we can put place names or points of interest on them.  This is of use to the increasing numbers of tourists in the area.  They can also feature distances which people find useful.  They also make junctions easier to sign.

After much perseverance (mainly by Shawn) all four signs were updated. 

One of the areas focused on was the junction between Swainspark Wood and Tunnel Woods where a relatively new cycle-path joins with an existing one.

We have also reviewed the junction on the Conkers circuit where the link to Swadlincote joins the route and will be improving that soon.

New signing in the Swainspark Wood area.

We also have a team working on the Ashby Woulds Heritage Trail near Moira to continue the work done 2 years ago to improve the condition of the path.  We will feature this going forward.
