The marker post
This public footpath marker post – with its fading Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council information disc held in place with rusted screws – points ramblers across a sprawling reed bed; depending on the time of year this crossing is attempted, you can end up either nice and dry or soaked wet through!
*Shot using a Panasonic Lumix FZ18 8MP bridge camera with settings at ISO-100, lens set at 42mm, aperture at f/8, spot metering mode and an exposure time of 1/160 seconds*
