The farm is totally surrounded by scenes like this - a vast unofficial rubbish dump.
Walkers are obliged to fight their way through mounds of rusting machinery that block the footpath to reach Lothersdale Road

Back Lane, Drighlington
Southeast of Bradford.

Now located in Heaton Park.

Here the Trans Pennine Trail and National Cycle Network Route 62 utilise the line of the former Godley Junction to Apethorn railway. Horse riders used to use the bridleway on the left leaving the path on the right for walkers and cyclists. Not only is the bridleway a quagmire but it has become a hazard due to broken glass from discarded bottles. So now they have to share the path. Fallen autumn leaves have never been cleared away and heavy rain has soaked the leaves making the path extremely muddy and sticky. There is now a large puddle right across the width of the path.

A few miles southeast of Stockport.
The Cheshire Ring Canal Walk crosses the bridge here, heading for Marple.

View over Church Lane in Nether End, Baslow. Seen from the rooftop window of Brook Cottage around 9am on New Years Day.

The Little Castle was built in 1612 for Charles Cavendish to a design similar to the Norman keep which originally stood here.

These water troughs are the only surviving example of seven former water troughs which lined Chelmorton village street. The water is supplied by a spring at the foot of Chelmorton Low and the water ran along gritstone channels and was once the main water supply to the village. The stream was known as Illy-Willy-Water.

A typical stone stile on a public footpath in the Derbyshire Peak District, at Melbourne Farm, near Bakewell.

Sedan House in City Walls Road has this interesting porch feature with two doors, so that a sedan-chair could be carried into the porch without the passenger getting wet. Believed to be the only example in Northwest England.

Sedan House is Grade II* listed.

New Years Day 2021 in a less-often-photographed square. Walking around in my t-shirt too!

Recreating this First for the square Link

On the Norfolk coast just north of Mundesley.

It's the first day of 2022, and New year's Eve was the warmest on record. It is too dark to feel like spring, but life is already getting going.

This is a Hazel Catkin unfurling.

From the new footpath on the western side of the Afon Clywedog, looking over to the old path running along the retaining wall. It means that the Torrent Walk is now a spectacular circular.

Possibly the first successfully-operated and commercially viable Inclined Plane in the UK, built around 1788 as a means of lowering tub boats from the Ketley Canal SJ6810 : The last remaining stretch of the Ketley Canal to a long-vanished foundry just to the NW of this point. The boats carried coal and ironstone to the foundry, and were lowered on L-shaped rails with a braking system managed via a windlass at the top of the plane.
There seems to be very little (reliable) documented evidence of the exact route of the incline, and if any trace remained 'on the ground' into the 20th century it has been removed by a combination of garden landscaping in the grounds of Hillside Farm on the left here, plus the efforts of Telford Development Corporation from the 1960s onwards. However, a combination of detective work using the best available old maps that we can find, plus some local knowledge from the long-term residents of the farm, suggest that the centre of this photo (ie through the car and the brick outbuilding behind it) tracks the most probable line of the incline. At the top of the garden there is a fence, immediately behind which lies the road bearing the name SJ6710 : The Incline (road) at Ketleyhill.

A Hurst is an area of older, historic woodland characterised by mature oak, pine and birch with an often continuous dense understorey of holly Link

The mild and sunny afternoon of New Year's Day brought hundreds of people into Sutton Park. Rain in the morning left puddles; many paths became muddy.

Botterham Locks. This is a two chamber staircase on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal south-west of Wombourne. The top lock is shown, looking north towards Wombourne and Wolverhampton. Yes, a narrowboat was approaching from behind the camera to use the locks, in the middle of winter.

Timed at 12:00 UTC (GMT) in 1 January 2022.
Not quite the record breaking temperature reached elsewhere in the UK, but a creditable 12·5°C (at midday), cloudy but bright, sun trying to break through, Wind Force 2-3 WSW.

Jo Turner explains:

It's getting difficult to differentiate the poorly paved private road on the left, from Barn Lane at this point, although potholes are usually better repaired on Barn Lane.
A vehicle has knocked into the post box on the corner in the last year. It's difficult to turn right into the private road here, and no real need since it is not a cul-de-sac, but some large vehicles have difficulty at either end.
