If you’re ever near Middlesbrough, and fancy a breezy walk on an RSPB reserve, you could do worse than go to Saltholme. It’s modest enough to explore in an afternoon, and besides, there’s helpful signage to prevent your getting lost.

Becky’s Square Odds


…That sign seems to pop up quite regularly in my head –
good to know where the origin of it was! 🙂

For once, a footpath sign that is perfectly clear; cuts out the dithering.

Happily, not. It helped us get back to base the best way.

Suitably odd. Signage as metaphor for the state of country at present.

It’s a bit better than one I saw many years ago which said “Trespassers will be shot.”

A great find of a sign! Might try that here when we have Spanish day trippers walking the wrong way through our finca. Totally wrong direction but perhaps they are just nosy. I love the backdrop which shows how nature and humans can live close together.

Exactly. It’s surrounded by heavy industry, yet all kind of birds call it ‘home’ or ‘stopover’. Yes, try the notice!
