+Splendidz Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Thank you to The Blorenges for chosing my photo from The 'Flotsam and Jetsam EXTREME' cache as the winner of the July photo competition As that photo was taken at an extreme cache I have decided to make the theme for the August Comp - 'Extreme' So maybe photos taken at extreme caches or locations, or even in extreme weather, please use your imagination! Happy snapping! Didz 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 (any type including events), 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

+SeekerOfTheWay Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Headed out to Alien Coffee, a high T and D cache. Quite an adventure for my mom and me! Finding the cache was difficult enough, but we then fell out of our canoe in Stump Pass and had to be rescued! Quote Link to comment
+flipflopnick Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 How convenient. Did an extreme cache today with Hairy Ballerina and her mum. Dilemma is a short fresh water swim in a tarn in southern Lake District. Dog did not swim. Wimp! Thanx to HB's mum for photo. Quote Link to comment
+DizzyPair Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate http://coord.info/GC2JPKZ abanazer climbs towards the cache. For those that have not yet found this cache, this photo was taken at the other side of the cache location. To find the cache, the climb is easier.

+Splendidz Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Box Quarry Cathedral by jamescharlick, on Flickr Taken over the weekend in Box Quarry, related to the Above Below caches. Wow! Great photo of The Box Quarry Cathedral ... I was also down there this weekend doing a Below Above cache! (on Saturday) but the photo I tried to take of the Cathedral was pants! Keep all the fab photos coming folks - It's great to get a heads up on some extreme caches, although a few of them are already familiar to me Quote Link to comment

Happyshopper Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Thanks for the comments We were going to try the Extreme Waterfall this month but since it looks like we're going to run out of time and the Cathedral is so photogenic I thought it best to stop procrastinating and put the pic up!

+trublatmill Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Pretty as it may be sometimes, caching in East Devon can involve serious arguments with equally serious gorse which we have taken to referring to as "The Path of Pain". Several paths of pain were encoutered this weekend doing the Aylesbeare Common series (GC2B01W and others). Ouch ! Quote Link to comment

Odd Your address for the above picture does work when you put it straight into the browser. I've taken a different address from the photo's properties and that works. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Not such an extreme cache but the weather was fairly extreme the day we did it: Slieve League GCJ8RT NW coast of Ireland. Buffeting wind and rain, I could hardly stand up on the path at one point but we managed to find the cache. MrsB Quote Link to comment
elfre Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) I've only been bothered by cows/bullocks twice. This was the second occasion. I managed to traverse an unnecessarily large field only to discover the exit stile was missing an essential component... and there was a ditch on the other side of the fence... a deep ditch.... Still remembered to take a mission-appropriate photo of someone's travel bug though! Edited August 27, 2011 by elfre Quote Link to comment
+Gackt Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Exploring nearby to "Above Below - The Steps" GC2GT53 earlier this month. xJammmzy reluctantly going down further than he really felt comfortable with: Like a scene from a Saw movie. I may of been desperate, but decided to hold on a little longer." Nice, not: Quote Link to comment
+Splendidz Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm just bumping this up - as today is the last day to submit your photos for the August competition... I'll be having the tricky job of judging all the fab photos tomorrow Quote Link to comment
