I have a bad feeling the shifter has had it.

This is an issue with these shifters (It happened to my old campag Xenons years ago) where the plastic rachet wears out:

I'm sure there are diy solutions for those brave enough to try, but it may be a project of diminishing returns

I suspect that isn't the original hanger.
Looks like this one has been filed to fit for some reason.
I've just looked at replacement hangers and they don't look very different though so don't think a new one would solve this.

As a bit of a bodge you could get a hanger extender (for using on large range cassettes) and install it on the inside of the current hanger to bring the mech in towards the cassette.

It will look a little odd and may require some filing and a longer bolt, but will get you rolling.

Does this have a removeable/replaceable drop out and mech hanger?

If so is it original?

If it is removable can you source another one and experiment with filing/machining the hanger thinner?

"...when i (manually) push the mech across the cassette to shift through the gears, it stops on the second-largest cog just kind of by itself, the lower limit screw isn't even touching..."

That really does sound like the mech just won't work with this frame.
Bonkers.

How much space have you got between the outside of the smallest sprocket and the inside of the drop out? Not much I presume.
What hub are you using?

Wow, brilliant, Thank you Giofox!

maybe a long shot....

Has anyone ridden Cambridge - Norwich (or vice versa) utilising as much off road as possible?

planning ahead and thinking of continuing @giofox 's wonderful London to Cambridge off road route to visit friends in Norwich.

So it jumps all cogs at once?

How about shifting back up to bigger sprockets?

I was weighing up this approach, but bottled it.

Cheers Andy!!
I'll let you know,
