2017, I think.
I can see what you are trying to do ... You are trying to lull me into a false sense of security so that I think I've got plenty of time, so I don't enter anything to beat your entry!!!:whistle:

When's the closing date I saw a few today but didn't have a chance to stop....

You've got time to go back...

Closing date is April 1st midnight on April 5th, which is actually Easter Sunday, so you still have 2 weekends more to go exploring for those hidden gems that will clinch your winning entry.
I've written page number 373 on my calendar for judging on Easter Monday

good move. I did something similar. When the time came, I downloaded each photo with the person's username and a number and went through them that way on my computer. Shortlisted everything I hadn't deleted... went through again, re-wrote the shortlist and then finally picked a winner.... the name of the file told me who it was.... guess I have been an IT engineer too many years!

You crossed out the wrong bit, you also left ****ing idiot out too. Actually I must be a hard man. ...........









Pssssst, psssssst,

I'm going to tell you a secret.


I've only told my wife so far, it's THAT secret!



I fell over trying to take a photo on one of the mountains. I propped my bike up on a rock, stepped back a few feet, composed the shot, walked forward to crop some junk out of shot.


Bugger.................



I fell forwards, panicking about my phone hitting the deck. I held both of my arms up to protect my precious. This was really, really stupid. My moobs broke my fall, on a rock, I also hit another rock with my right knee, and another with my right elbow.

I now have a swollen and bruised knee, elbow and one massive black moob.

I've also cracked two ribs. Please don't make me laugh, seriously, it bloody hurts.





I still managed a few more days on the bike though:wahhey:


It actually could've been really nasty, I could've hit my face and ruined my rugged* looks:laugh:



*that means old and worn

Is the hard man mended now?^_^

Just been looking at these again and wondering what this place is?
Does this answer your questions? Hope it works re quoting it all

The ride of the entrance.... Today I managed a whole host of them but realised I definitely missed one so here are a couple of them:

Archway on the Ring Road path, I always like this one - makes me feel a little childlike for some reason, perhaps the slight ramp up to the archway then swooping down the other side
View attachment 83627
View of the left hand end of Bristol City Council buildings, they've renamed it but I can never remember what too - possibly City Hall or was that the old name
View attachment 83628
Entrance to the Catheral taken from the same spot, as they both face onto College Green
View attachment 83629
Archway at the end of the main City Library just on the corner of College Green, I always love the detailing in the archway
View attachment 83630
From the library arch looking to the side view of the Council House

Brunel House (place for council minions to earn some dosh)
