Magnetic North Pole?

The Moon's North pole?

Magnetic North Pole?

1. Doesn't explain the discrepancy.
2. The magnetic pole moves. Who would carve it in stone?

Depends on what route you take.

Could it be a spelling mistake? Maybe they meant North Poole? How far away from Dorset are you?

 

[Shut Up Legs]

Where are you, exactly? Just out of curiosity, I used the site below to calculate the distance from Birmingham (roughly in the middle of the UK?) to the north pole, and got 4170km / 2590ml. That marker stone is way out!

Perhaps it is using the non direct route?

Or somebody has moved it.

Yep, it's following the Sustrans route.
