it's self judging, the setter's gone

I'm off to Mont Ventoux on Wednesday for a few days so I thought I'd better set a self marking challenge

so come on pilot, wake up. i'm off to york in a few hours and need to know this weekends challenge

 

[ComedyPilot]

Ok, self-setting it is. Get a picture of your bike (and you if you want) next to a the largest obscure man-made object you can find, the more points go to the more obscure object. Good one for the big buildings in London, but that's a bit obvious, but I am looking for things like massive earthmoving eqpt, large dams, next to undercarriage of huge aircraft. Hint, if you take the picture from a good angle perspective-wise, it'll look bigger!! GO. Judging will commence on Monday. Good luck.

obscure meaning dark, hidden, not easily understood?

 

[ComedyPilot]

Ok, not obscure - just different. What I meant was it's ok doing it next to the NatWest tower, but you'll get more points for the Angel of the North. Or the Falkirk Wheel, or the Humber Bridge, or your garden shed shot from a low level angle.......... just be imaginative.

I should have entered my golden boy in this one

 

[marinyork]

Hmmm methinks this task may be a bit easy size wise for quite a few forumers on sunday...

On the other hand if anyone gets a pic of the Lovell at Joddrel Bank I'll be well impressed.

Kirstie's Gussett

I feel your pain. Recently I have ridden through places in northumberland with such fantastic names as 'gusset' and 'cockplay', but there was not a sign to be had. I felt so used.

I was unable to come up with an erection of suitable magnificence for this latest challenge (); however, I did manage to pass through Kirstie's Gussett, so to speak

Did it smell of roses, too?

Don't be disgusting, you two...good photo though fnaar

Anyway, I have an entry (ooer) for the latest challenge - absurd man made object. Here is a picture of my bike with the two massive orange communications spheres at the Croughton military base just outside Bicester - taken on my ride today. They're in the distance because if you go near to them and take a photo you'll get done by the military police. Anyway, I think this counts. Here is the photo:

drax power station is quite large enormously huge - here i am several miles from it

it's the largest, cleanest and most efficient coal-fired power station in the UK.
4,000 megawatts. providing enough power to meet 7% of the UK’s electricity needs.

for sheer size, i must have the biggest?:?:
