+DizzyPair Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Thanks very much to maiawalli for choosing our photo of 'Scratchy Bottom' as the winner of the March competition. The theme for your April photos is BRIDGES. Any type of Bridge, even a log over a stream. The rules are the same as those used in previous months..... 1) The photo must be cache related and to do with a specific UK cache, caching series or caching trip - please include a link to the cache or the GC.... code so we can see where the picture relates to. 2) Two photos per caching team or cacher. (Maybe 3 if you really have an extra pic that's great!) 3) A new thread is started each month, with the OP stating these rules. 4) The winner each month is decided by the winner from the previous month - the new winner starting the thread for the subsequent month. They may set a theme* if they wish. 5) Photos should be recent. Higher credit will be given to photos taken in the current month. 6) The competition runs from the 1st of the month, until a date specified in the OP by the previous months winner. This should give sufficient time for the winner (or other person if necessary) to start the new thread. If you haven't already uploaded a photo, a good tip might be to upload to one of your log entries (it can just be 'post a note'). Then, display the photo and copy the URL to provide a link to the post. If it's not actually relevant to the cache you've used, delete the note and the photo - the URL will still work. On this forum, add a reply and click the small green tree icon above the text box and paste in your URL. Quote
Brownsound Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I'm going to twist the rules and submit 3 entries... 1. A small bridge near to Katharine and Thomas 2. A tranquil scene close to Mawddach Mystery and Third Place 3. Under the bridge by Stephenson's Vaults Quote

+Guanajuato Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 No bridge, but don't you thnk it's just crying out for a functional concrete one like at Thelwall? Actually, there are a few bridges in the view, just not obviously visible. Castlehead, Keswick Quote

+drdick&vick Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Taken near GC2N0R2 and is the bridge that the cache takes it's name from, Widgery Cross Footbridge. I was actually stood in the stream with the camera down very low, luckily wearing GoreTex boots. Loved the way the camera picked up the detail of the water ripples. Same bridge but other side Edited April 19, 2011 by DrDick&Vick Quote
+DizzyPair Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 We are very pleased to see the very good entries that have so far been submitted. 10 days left so let's have some more! Quote
+burtsbodgers Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Here's a bridge we tried to cross a while ago. Sums up winter caching really! Yes that is a bridge... Yes i know water is supposed to flow under it! Trying to get to GC1ZVE1 Edited April 20, 2011 by burtsbodgers Quote

+rickardclan Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) Another entry for Two Bridges in Holsworthy - one of the two is in there somewhere... And an older pic, but it is Devils Bridge, Ceredigion, so it deserves an airing - taken as part of the as yet unlogged (for us) earthcache. (*ahem, it's actually on a memory card somewhere, I'll dig it out, who knows might even log the EC too!) Arrggh, going to have to log it to post the pic....now where are my notes??

+NickandAliandEliza Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Probably stretching the rules......

+flipflopnick Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Went for a walk with junior Ryetom in Eskdale last week. Waymarked all bridges we crossed. To get to free car parking crossed Trough House Bridge where there is a cache of same name. Trough House Bridge has a lovely flood height marker. After parking and finding cache went for a walk along south side of river Esk. Next cache found was Underbank View. To get there had to cross bottom of Stanley Gill on this narrow wooden footbridge. Mugglettes went straight through the ford. Wet feet and shoes. Stanley Gill Footbridge From Underbank View, tried to find River View (almost). Gave up on that and went on to find Tarn View with seat. I had already found these and left junior RYETOM to search. On the way to Roman Way crossed the bottom of Birker Beck over this wooden footbridge. Footbridge over Birker Beck in Eskdale. Low Birker and Sea & Scafell View caches followed. We now dropped down to valley bottom and crossed over to north bank of river Esk using Doctor bridge, so named because Doctor Edward Tyson, who was a surgeon, who had the bridge widened in 1734 for his pony and trap. A Grade 2 listed structure. Cache here is called Doctor Bridge View Doctor Bridge in Eskdale We now walked downstream to St Catherine's cache, our final find, crossing no bridges :-( More bridges than necessary but enjoyable walk Waymarking everything in site. (Photo competition is not a challenge for a dedicated Waymarker.) Quote
