2022 Photo Comp'.We have a WINNER

[Bearbonesnorm]

Last night, I thought just how long it is since we had a photo comp - I don't know exactly how long it is but it seems a long time, so here we are.

A few simple rules.
1/ Post a picture here that includes some reference to bikepacking, camping, cycling. Only 1 picture per person but feel free to replace one with another should you wish.
2/ The picture should have been taken sometime during 2022.
3/ You can put your picture up as an attachment but if it's too big people will need to scroll to view it which will spoil the effect and reduce your chances of winning a Ti Jones frame.

Last submissions will be end of November, then voting will commence.

Okay - voting is now open and will remain so for a fortnight. Simply select you fave picture from those on the post and bang a tick in the box

All credit goes to Barney for this picture taken on our latest trip to the Clwyds. But it's me in my tent, so I'm posting it.

I'm undecided as to which photo to use but here's my Summer solstice bivvy for now....

Struggling to choose between
- nice photos of scenery, taken on bikepacking trips, but not actually of cycling/camping
- nice photos of scenery AND camping, but not actually on a bikepacking trip
- technically good photos of a packed bike leaning against something
- crappy phone pictures of actual bikepacking, or even
- nice photo taken on a bikepacking trip, including camping AND cycling, but not me (or anyone I know) doing them

It's a minefield! It's worse than self-supported ethics. I presume tripods are out?

I'm going to use this photo of bikepacking related activity, featuring BB paraphernalia, but from a non-bikepacking situation, as a placeholder:

Nothing to see.....yet!

Away from tomorrow and so I shall endeavour to find a suitable photo during my trip.

I like this juxtaposition of warm comfortable hotel bed and distinctly damp bicycle. This was taken in May on a 10-day trip from Glasgow to Aviemore via the Lomond-Trossachs Loop that went marvellously wrong. This was the first of a couple of night spent inside to dry out kit and boost my morale.

Despite a very low turn out at the polls, we do have a winner and by one vote that winner is Bob. I shall find something suitable (sorry the Ti Jones frame went on the last email prize) and send it forth.

Here's your winning submission once again - uhm, roll on summer.
