They show a washing machine and a tumble dryer both hauled on foot over 400 metres through rocky terrain and lifted over a fence to be dumped on the peak’s topograph.

Hide AdChapel councillor Kath Sizeland described how after being alerted by astonished walker Jane Inglefield, High Peak Borough Council workers removed the discarded white goods within the hour.
Baffled Kath said in order to get to the peak’s summit the louts who left their no longer-needed machines would have had to carry them through rocky outcrops on foot after parking on the road nearly half a kilometre below.
She said: “To get them from the road up to the top must have been really tough - it would have taken a couple of strong blokes to carry each one up there.
“The mentality of it just beggars belief - the sheer stupidity makes the mind boggle.
