High on Bleaklow in the Peak District lies the wreckage of "Over Exposed!", a Boeing B-29 Superfortress that tragically crashed in November 1948 during a routine flight from RAF Scampton to RAF Burtonwood. All 13 crew members aboard lost their lives #PeakDistrict #B29OverExposed

Finding a WW2 plane wreck high in the Peak Districtโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜ฎโœˆ๏ธ Walking through the wreckage of the B-29 Superfortress on Bleaklow is an eerie and moving experience. Itโ€™s unbelievable how much remains intact after all these years. #PeakDistrict #B29Superfortress #UKExploration

Major excavations are already carving up the farmland on Minster Marsh for National Gridโ€™s Sea Link project. Framed as mere "surveying", this invasive trenching is wrecking sensitive wildlife habitatsโ€”all before full permission is even granted! ๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿ’ฅ #SaveMinsterMarshes

Stumbled across this ancient can of Lilt complete with a classic ring-pull lid. Itโ€™s mind-blowing how long plastic and metal last in natureโ€”this rubbish will easily outlive us all if it isn't recycled. ๐Ÿฅคโ™ป๏ธ Remember these? #VintageFinds #LitterAwareness #EcoTok #LeaveNoTrace

Watching huge numbers of greylag geese arrive to roost at Pegwell Bay as darkness falls is quite something! ๐Ÿฆ†โœจ In autumn, these wonderful flocks gather in massive numbers as part of their seasonal migration and winter grouping behaviour. #PegwellBay #GreylagGeese

It was good to see some cable ploughing happening at the East Kent ploughing match on Wednesday. Watching these twin steam engines work in tandem across the field with a balance plough is an extraordinary reminder of how heavy land was farmed back in the day! ๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿ’จ

Packed out at the East Kent Ploughing Match today! ๐Ÿšœ Brilliant to celebrate local agricultural history and the skill on display. Modern farming has largely moved away from soil-damaging deep ploughing towards zero-till, but it's fantastic to see the heritage kept alive!

Watch a Peregrine Falcon come to life layer by layer! ๐Ÿฆ…โœจ I 3D printed this model of the worldโ€™s fastest bird. Thereโ€™s something so satisfying about seeing tech and wildlife conservation passion cross paths! ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ #3DPrinting #PeregrineFalcon #Creality #OrcaSlicer

Loved taking part in todayโ€™s Sunken Garden Eco Fair! ๐ŸŒฟโœจ It was so non-stop busy chatting with so many wonderful followers that I didn't get a chance to take a single photo during the day! Here I am with a lovely certificate and a stunning dried flower wreath by Beaโ€™s Art.

Stepping into Mother Shiptonโ€™s Cave feels like walking straight into a legend. The Petrifying Well here turns everyday objects into stone right before your eyes, thanks to a incredibly high mineral content that coats everything in calcite over time. #MotherShiptonsCave
