Here are some photos of the fairly non-standard signage for the Route 52 'Coalville Gap'. The main aim of the signs is to give non-locals a rough idea of where to go, to tell them to dismount for certain sections and to emphasise the unofficial/unfinished nature of the Route.
I have put up several 'Route under Development' stickers under the signs to let cyclists know that the Route is unfinished and the 'NCN X' sticker to let them know that they are leaving the NCN.
The photo on the left is next to the Sustrans mile post near the Council Offices. The photo on the right shows the Kane Close-Margaret Street path.
The route I have signed is not perfect because of the narrowness of paths, frequent dismounting etc It is enough to stop someone not from the area getting lost. Given the frequency of vandalism (including to the previous map/notice I affixed to the mile post and the removal of some stickers already!), I think the map box idea was a non-starter.
The next target is to get some signs up around Snibston Discovery Park and some destination signs.
