One of the really simple things our volunteer team do to improve the #LondonLoop (and the other routes we’ve adopted) is cleaning filthy waymark posts. This one at the start of Section 21 probably had 20 years of grime on it until Chris gave it a clean - and what an amazing difference he’s made!

The Abbey Road Footbridge Mural between Thamesmead and Lesnes Abbey on the #GreenChainWalk today - it’s had a good innings but could do with a little love now.

Delighted to share that our #LondonLoop project volunteers have completed key signage works on Section 2 at Footscray Meadows working the Friends group and Thames 21 who reinstalled 2 posts & added 2 new ones, to which we then affixed waymark discs. We also replaced the pointer on an existing sign.

Where have you been out #walking on this lovely sunny Saturday? We followed some of the #GreenChainWalk through Sydenham, including the recently replaced (hooray!) Cox’s Walk Footbridge from where Pissarro painted his Lordship Lane Station, Dulwich

We’ve updated the route guidance & maps for the #LondonLoop, which we do every couple of years. Huge thanks to all the volunteers involved in this mammoth project & to @transportforlondon.bsky.social for linking to the guidance from your walking pages. innerlondonramblers.org.uk/images/Ringa...

Sometimes we have to improvise! Thanks to our volunteer who came up with this ingenious solution on Section 22 of the #LondonLoop - no post to add a disc to, but that can be solved with some scrap wood, four drill holes and a couple of plastic ties. & no damage to anyone else's property!

Thanks to the Cranford Park Project Officer & the site team who have added more signs and stickers (from our supplies I think) to make the #LondonLoop easier to follow in the middle section of the park - & thank you too for sharing your photos with us!

Always depressing when waymarks get vandalised even when they are so bleached out as to be barely legible. We’ve been able to add #LondonLoop stickers to these for now but hope to get them properly replaced (they’re supposed to also sign the Thames Down Link & Hogsmill River Walk) in Kingston.

Our brilliant volunteers were able to get new posts installed on the #CapitalRing in Abney Park Cemetery recently after the previous waymarkers were removed during renovations. Our section volunteers & coordinator worked with the park manager, to whom huge thanks, to have the new posts installed.

Our team of Capital Ring Rangers have updated our #CapitalRing walks guidance & the new updated PDFs are free for download innerlondonramblers.org.uk/index.php?op... All sections except 13 required some revision, which goes to show the degree of change on the ground. Thanks to all the volunteers!

Waymarking improvements to Section 2 of the #LondonLoop have recently been completed. These include adding new posts and discs to make the route easier to follow, but also amending the route uphill a little onto slightly higher ground to avoid the worst of the mud.

Introducing a brand new waymark post on the #LondonLoop - plus an old post with new discs as we re-route slightly through Petts Wood to slightly higher drier ground and incorporating the memorials. More to come!
