Waymark post for Red & Blue trail<\/p><\/div>\n

In recent weeks the FONGW team have undertaken surveying the wooden waymark posts on the three main trails within the woods. Altogether the trails cover a distance of approximately 7.6 km  (4.5 miles) and include 61 single posts, all of which have now been inspected and logged. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Over the coming months, the team will be replacing 6 posts which have rotted and are beyond repair. They will install 2 concrete spurs for a couple of posts in need of just a little support and will also reinstate any posts that are loose or wobbly. 2 posts will be relocated since over time the trails have deviated from the original route and therefore these waymark arrows no longer do their job.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Routed waymark post ready for painting<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A member of the team has been preparing the new posts. Each one is carefully routed ready to be painted with trail colour stripes once installed. <\/p>\n\n\n

Approximately 15 coloured waymark arrow discs have either faded or have incurred damaged. These will be repainted or swapped for new ones.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Map of all 61 trail waymark posts<\/p><\/div>\n

Finally, each post will be stencilled with its own individual number that can be cross referenced against a map. This will help the team locate a post in the future when is has been reported to them as damaged and in need of repair.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
