+Haggis Hunter Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Thanks very much to aliandtone for choosing my photo as the winner of the May competition. I quite like the idea of a theme, so the theme for your June photos is water. This is totally down to your imagination.... it could include rivers, sea or even when you got caught out in the rain. Well you get the picture! 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 Link to comment
Stompy Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Whilst out this morning I saw a cow taking a shower, when I got back home I saw the theme this month was water so couldn't resist posting this picture. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We're going to be in N Ireland and Donegal next week... I've just looked at the weather forecast for Tuesday onwards - I think we might have plenty of good "theme" opportunities. MrsB Quote Link to comment
jadenrich2101 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Can u use something that symbolises water but is not actually wet.....I have too pics.....Hope u like em Quote Link to comment
+dgwebster Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Can u use something that symbolises water but is not actually wet.....I have too pics.....Hope u like em as long as it works with the theme. For example, if the theme was "moving house" cardboard boxes would be ok, just as much as a picture of a house on the back of a truck on a motorway. Quote Link to comment
+dgwebster Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Here is my entry for June. 10 Points for anyone that can get where this is. To help narrow it a little, it is in Scotland. Sorry, to comply with the rules, here is the name and GC code in true hardcore cacher ROT13 to avoid spoiling it. Gur Ovexf bs Noresryql TP27SSD Edited June 4, 2011 by dgwebster Quote Link to comment
jadenrich2101 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) I think this is a decent one using the water theme The cache i was looking for was THE WAVE IN BLACKPOOL. Took a pic of the thing but didnt think to look for the micro :S Edited June 4, 2011 by jady1987 Quote Link to comment
+duncanhoyle Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Two photos from the same trip as I can't decide between the 2. Last Thursday we decided to tackle Hestan Island Hop and had a fantastic time. Getting to the headland was an enjoyable walk through some old woods followed by a walk along the sand. Once there we had to remove walking boots and wade across to the start of the causeway. We had timed the trip for low tide so it was less than 30cm deep. Worried about the incoming tide we rushed our time on the island which was a shame as we only managed to visit the cache location. The cache has only been found 13 times since 2005 and is now my favourite Duncan Quote Link to comment

I have a 4 year old and his legs dont tend to get very far (well a good 3 hours walking) but having the pushchair and tryin to beat the hills and old coal mines is a nightmare. Im gonna plan to have my lil one away for a weekend so i can get on with some decent cache series! Good luck with the more challenging caches when ever u get around to em Quote Link to comment

+Micky Two Pints Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 This is a picture I took on 29 May whilst searching for GC2BZXC (Lakeside 1). My daughter spotted these geese in the water whilst I was rummaging around in the trees and they hopped out of the water and settled just in front of us by the lake. Lovely spot around the lakes for a series of caches. Quote Link to comment

+AbbieK Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 It feels a bit odd to post a self-portaist as an entry, but it does fit! This was taken just after I got my first FTF, a very fun cache requiring a 2 litre bottle of water! Easier Than Lambda is the first cache I've done that required me to bring something!

+Haggis Hunter Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 I have to say that SP's picture of the dolphin is great and may even have won? But I think that it is only fair to say that you are late with your entry therefore I am disqualifying it. Sorry So many great pictures posted this month, and it has been extremely difficult to choose a winner. Along with my family we did narrow it down to 4 pictures which are - duncanhoyle's Heston Island Reflection Guanajuato's Walking on Water The Patrician's Flying Gannet Yet there can only be one winner. This picture was chosen for it's simplicity in thinking, yet demanding on difficulty and timing of taking. So the winner is................... The Blorenges water splash, congratulations Chris. :D Quote Link to comment

That'd be daddy on the right rolling up the legs of his expensive jeans - why do I wear posh gear out caching I'll never know!! Mother-in-law is a bit of a painter so maybe I'll ask her....
