Mile Markers

The whole length of the Mickleover Greenway is now clearly marked in miles from the gate at Mickleover Station with these coping stones, some of which had previously been hidden in the undergrowth.

It has taken a while to find them all and to clean off the moss which had grown on them, but now they have dried out, we have been able to paint the appropriate numbers on them for the benefit of runners and cyclists who need to check/adjust cycle computers.
There are four stones and the fifth mile comes exactly at Five Mile Gate near Egginton Junction Bridge.

More flailing has been done and the verges from Old Station Close to Heage Lane are affected.
