As we mentioned last week, we've been involved in a project that will see 2500 aluminium signs, each giving a location and OS grid ref, installed along the 630-mile long South West Coast Path.
Mick Cooke of Brixham Coastguard, who came up with the idea, said: “The sooner the Coastguard arrive at the scene of an accident, the better the likely outcome for the casualty, so these little signs could help save a life.” The SWCP website recently ran a feature to mark the 500th sign.
There will be about a dozen signs in the Swanage area and so far we have visited each location to check the grid reference is correct and also to check there's something physically there to nail them on to. The signs are currently being manufactured and we'll soon be installing them.
I've tried to put some pictures up of some of our locations, but blogger doesnt want to play today. Maybe next week. In fact, I'll put a few up - see if you know where they are.
