Historic sign taken from Peak District trail
Volunteers say the sign has a rich history but is worth "next to nothing" in scrap value.

Round walk from Marsden across Marsden Moor and onto Standedge. Middle section all along the Penine Way. Low winter sun (often in shade) made it feel pretty cold. #Walking #PeakDistrict #Landscape

Simonside.
Maybe unfairly, I described this as the Mam Tor of the #Northumberland National Park.
A short round walk of about 6ish miles, with stunning views.
Looking forward to a Happy New Year '26.

Two days ago, I got my new passport.
I am surprised by how much I dislike its colour.
I would love it to be still burgundy. 😔
