Signpost 247 stands at a major crossroads on the flank of Kinder Scout, where the Pennine Way crosses the Hayfield to Snake footpath at the the top of William Clough [map]. This remote spot experiences extreme weather, and the sign was definitely showing the strain (see photo below).

PNFS members Bill & Margaret Buckley volunteered to repaint it and you can see the results below. It's now a real credit to the society and will no doubt draw the attention of the many walkers that pass this spot every day of the year.

If you see any PNFS sign that's in need of attention, the Signposts Officer would like to hear from you. See the contact page.
