Have we got room for another MBIFO thread? 🤔
Yeah... Of course we do.

MBIFO a rusty old crane on the High Peak Trail.

I was sort of thinking of rusty iron.... But why not 😜

My CX and a rusty iron shod millstone at Billing Mill on today's ride.

Surely the prize for "MBIFO old iron" has to go to Danny MacAskill for this early film from nearly 10 years ago.
I watched this with no idea who Danny was or what he could do with a bike; utterly spellbinding, this film is a work of art and i'm only too happy to have an excuse to post it again.

Impressive film bike and rider! The sort of thing you try at 17 except I don’t think I’d have done it then let alone decades later! Hats off to the rider. I agree with you @lazybloke you wouldn’t want to fall off and land on your testimonials of those bolts. Arrrgh

A rusty old Francis Turbine from the Hydro Electric plant. It was installed in 1911 and removed from under the water in 2009, then put on display near to the plant.

@biggs682 No, I think it's the first time I've seen them. Maybe someone found them in a barn or shed and thought they would look good by the cross roads?
Have you noticed the rusty old crane and farm machinery behind the gates with the eagles?

Those on the crossroads have been there a few good months .

I might have noticed them but can't be sure
