Prehistoric worked flint (properly recorded), spotted while having an epic piddle in Wiltshire. Going left to right there is a scraper on debitage, a core, a rather lovely side scraper.

Only one day left of the month folks. Some great and varied photos. I will endeavour to post a winner tomorrow evening.

There were some fabulous interpretations on the subject this month I thought. Very hard to pick one alone, I narrowed it down to @FrothNinja and the long abandoned mining railway still providing parts, @Dave 123 with the WWII memorial another great photo and unusual I thought. @PeteXXX doing the black and white of the old door was excellent as was the thatching photo, @biggs682 with the hillfort, great photo. After a lot of umming and arrhring however I went for the photo from @iandg as for me it encapsulated old bike, new bike history. So, @iandg its your picture that wins this month for me.

It was a last minute "ooh history" as I headed home yesterday. Will have a think for new topic over night 🙂

Cheers for the challenge @Old Hippy and look forward to what you set us @iandg

Watching cyclo-cross on Eurosport this morning with riders bunny-hopping hurdles, carrying bikes up-hill and plodding through mud - I've come up with "Barriers and Obstacles" for the new challenge.

Hopefully some scope there for interpretation with many different barriers and obstacles (such as gates, steps, signs, overgrown paths etc) out in the environment.

Great topic! 👍

 

[Oldhippy]

Cool idea. That gives a great deal of scope. I'm off to look for photos now.
