+The Blorenges Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 For the final competition of 2012 we thought we'd make it as broad as possible: We just want to see your best caching photos of 2012. Pictures of great views, great people, great caches and great fun. The rules for this month: 1) The photo must related to a specific UK cache (any type, including events), caching series or caching trip - please include a link to the cache or the GCcode. 2) The photo must have been taken during 2012. 3) Maximum of two photos per caching team or cacher. 4) A new thread is started each month, with the OP stating the rules. 5) 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. 6) Follow the theme (if one has been set). Link to the November 2012 Photo Competition. Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Fantastic a broad scope for pictures this month. So I think I will start with what is my favourite picture of the year, which was taken during the Mega2012: Chapel Island Picnic event. Then marmal & I done a fabulous series finishing off with Picnic Spot - Fawnsy's Funnies Quote Link to comment

+Gushoneybun Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I never seem to have the right photo for the current month but this month is a little easier. I took this picture back in October, across Fernilee Reservoir between Buxton and Stockport when there was no wind in Derbyshire! That is a rarity The cache is this one Fernilee Foxtrot-Glory Hole my log, is here. And my offering: Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I love that top one - reminds me of The Singing Butler. I was going for the Vettriano effect and I do believe that I achieved that as many people have commented on it's similarities with his work. Quote Link to comment

+maxx borchovski Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Found this unusual piece of Georgian architecture today whilst walking along the Leeds / Liverpool canal, in search of GC1DDJG. It is amazing that level workmanship was employed to route a stream under the canal. Quote Link to comment

+The Blorenges Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 We've just had a look through last month's selection... a good variety of caching moments from 2012. We narrowed it down to 6 that we thought were particularly nice, then chatted about what we liked / didn't like so much about each one... Then decided that the winner should be the Lydford Locators' chilly canal and church scene. Well done Lydford Locators! Quote Link to comment

Is the January competition going to be posted? Or am I being silly and can't see it?? It's now the 9th, so I vote that Haggis Hunter is appointed as the 'other person if necessary' to start the January competition..... (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. Quote Link to comment
I! Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I think it should be the second-placed photographer. Mrs B, who would that be? Quote Link to comment
