Welcome to the online edition of Signpost. This is an alternative to the print edition.
Thoughts of the past summer, with its variable weather conditions, will soon be a distant memory.
We have had pleasant days for walking, but equally some rather poor, unseasonal ones. ...
One of the biggest news stories of the year has been the unprecedented flooding, especially in the north of England.
Places like Hebden Bridge, the Calder Valley and Carlisle have been devastated yet again,
and much has been made of the need for greater flood protection. ...
Robert Fysh was first introduced to the PNFS by his fellow steam railway enthusiast and footpath champion, Donald Lee.
Joining in the early 1960s, he soon found himself volunteering to be the Footpath Inspector for Trafford. ...
Your Chairman, David Hurrell, mentioned in his opening remarks that the Society had decided to oppose the current campaign by British Cycling
for cyclists (see link below) to be able to ride bikes along all Public Footpaths. ...
In a third successful project carried out in collaboration with Stockport Council, a donation to PNFS from a former member,
John Pickstone, helped improve a tricky crossing of Gigg Brook, North of Etherow Country Park, Compstall. ...
The Long Distance Walkers’ Association (LDWA) was formed in 1972 to further the common interests of
those who enjoy Long Distance Walking. Since then, it has grown from 355 members to over 7,000 at present.
Local Groups are the life-blood of the Association, organising walks and other social events. ...
When our Society was founded on 16th August 1894, its immediate priority was to establish the existence of a right of way
from Hayfield to the Woodlands at Ashopdale – often referred to as the Snake Path. ...
I can’t remember when it started – maybe I’ve always done it. Making up stories as I walk! ...
Last year, our Management Team decided to further help people with disabilities by funding suitable projects
that would replace stiles with gates. The idea was proposed at last year’s Half-Year Meeting and approved by the Members present. ...
It is with great sadness that we have to report that Mike Barnes, the society's Webmaster,
died on 8th September of prostate cancer. Mike was a lifelong walker and outdoor enthusiast. ...
This book gives you far more than an account of one man’s 268-mile trek from Edale to Kirk Yetholm.
As you’d expect, there’s the scenery he saw, the places he stayed, the people he met along the way. ...
2 new public footpaths were recently added to Stocksbridge Parish (Sheffield) Definitive Map by a confirmed Order.
Hunshelf Parish Council (affiliated to PNFS) claimed them as rights of way. ...
On 14 August 2016, I spent a very pleasant day - picking bilberries along Charity Lane
(Macclesfield Forest And Wildboarclough CP) for a plated bilberry pie on Christmas Day. ...
Scarthin café is unique in the Peak District. Not only is it one of the only vegetarian and vegan cafés in the
National Park but it is also located within what is arguably the most eclectic book shop in Derbyshire if not the North Midlands. ...
