The aptly named Happy Valley. On Netcat2 #SlowWays Nethern-on-the-Hill to Caterham, and on the #LondonLoop
Grassy field at the bottom of a gentle valley. Trees, just beginning to show Autumn colours, on the hills on either side. Paths crisscross the field.

Shaw House was my destination.
Victoria Park, Newbury. A cycle path junction Linkways 2, 4 & 6. Rather top heavy blue and white fingers.

Paradoxical #FingerpostFriday
The ancient Wimpole Way has the newest fingers on this post.
At Caldicote Church on #SlowWays Camfox2
Fingerpost at a walking path cross'roads' beside a very narrow lane. The old fingers point left to Bourne and right to Toft. The Wimpole Way is an ancient track-way renewed. New fingers to the Way point up and down the lane. A billboard advertises the presence of Caldicote Church nearby.

A beater told me it was okay to pass. I wore a hiviz running buff anyway. Still flinched when they shot, quite unsettling. Partridge in this instance.
Looking not dissimilar to Antony Gormley's 'Another Place', men stand in a field. Shotguns at the ready, waiting for driven partridge. This next to a PROW.

This year's line-up for the Banstead - Woodmansterne planted wheelbarrow race. #FingerpostFriday
Decorative planted wheelbarrows sit in a row behind traditional black and white fingerpost. Next to a roundabout in Banstead.

Ficus Macrofolia
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.

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

#FingerpostFriday compare and contrast.
An old and a new fingerpost. Different designs.

Very walkable, although the Northern half was more enjoyable. Managed to dodge the rain showers 🌦
Narrow path through greenery alongside Wraysbury Lake. Ominous clouds overhead.

##ThickTrunkTuesday on #SlowWays between Redhill and Caterham (Radcat3).
Two large beech trees. Road, then a bank, mostly thick intertwined tree roots, then two trunks with wooden fence between. Dappled sunlight.

#FingerpostFriday the footpath sign endures.

North Downs.
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.

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