Three words WEATHER, WEATHER, WEATHER :joy:
Though, having written down my competition planning list, I do need an awful lot of snow to suddenly fall on the South Downs!!!

Still almost 1/4 of a year to go! Plenty of time for the UK to grind to a winter/icy/snowy halt!

That is an excellent challenge, I’m sure that I stand little or no chance of appearing anywhere but it looks so much fun that I just have to try it :grin:

I pretty much thought the same for the Summer Treasure Hunt initially - got totally hooked - and won it!
It’s very motivating having a reason to go and fly somewhere.

Think the admin guys should still capture what they can and post their shots after the competition ends or have your own mini competition.

It’s always good to see other people’s work and aerial views of different locations.

I live in California so snowmen, log cabin etc seemed a bit far fetched for me… But I’ve put posts out to my fb friends saying what I’ll looking for… I’m willing to travel to start trying to find some of this stuff. Pretty cool challenge and good excuse to fly in New locations.

And those are just “Ski Resorts” - snow falls in other places too. :wink:
And I know there are log cabins (albeit massive ones that are restaurants) at most of the ones I’ve been to.

:rofl:

Don’t worry Bonny, it rarely snows here in the UK anymore either.

We will completely accept frost instead of snow, on any of the treasure items :smiley:

Reminder though:

:wink:

Ah, well, this one looks a bit trickier, and is also not a good excuse for a motorbike ride.

But, if we’re going to get a cold winter…

Would this qualify for point 25?
St Nicholas Church - St Helens

It’s quite far away and at max height on max zoom - Wouldn’t be quite right flying around a cemetery if people were visiting.
