Apparently this competition is to blame for at least on injury incurred wandering around old mines sites in the snow 😮

Vanoord! Is winter over not yet? Is it not time to judge this?

Can we give ICLOK something just to keep him quiet ? 😉

sleep is a caffeine deficiency.

I was walking on the hills in 6" of snow on the middle weekend in April last year!

That said, I don't think it's going to get cold again this winter :(

I'll check the long-range forecast early next week and if it's sun, sun, sun, then I shall put my black judging cap on and decide which one you is going to the gallows*. Er, going to win... ::)

* did I mention that excessive use of Photoshop is considered a capital offence?! :lol:

Hello again darkness, my old friend...

SNIP

The wind at North and East
Was never good for man nor beast
So never think to cast a clout
Until the month of May be out

Unless of course you live in Buxton http://www.buxtoncc.org/snowstoppedplay.html

Lords! Patience is needed.... 😮

I'll have a look through later in the week, given that winter seems to have ended. I'm not in the office today and tied up this evening and tomorrow evening, so I guess it'll be Thursday evening or thereabouts!

Apologies to all those in the ICLOK household who have to put up with the foot tapping for a couple more days 😉

Dear Mrs Iclok - please tell him to have patience and stop being mardy! Also remember the rhyme -

"Patience is a virtue, possess it if you can,
Often found in woman, but seldom in a man!"

SteveT's shot of Cwmorthin terrace:

It was a very difficult decision to make and very close-run in the end, with a lot of very good photographs submitted - thank you to all who entered! :thumbsup:

Steve, could you PM me an address to send the wee Fenix, please?

There's also another, special, prize to be awarded: The ICLOK Trophy for Trying Very Hard and Cheating just a Little Bit -

🔗Personal-Album-856-Image-31913[linkphoto]Personal-Album-856-Image-31913[/linkphoto][/link]

Prize for this is a guided tour of a Welsh slate mine of our choice, involving at least one incline and no dangling! :lol:

Yes nice shot Steve, well done mate, strangely the lake Cwm looks equally good in winter as in the summer I think. :thumbup:

The management thanks you for your co operation.
