Had a long day yesterday :unamused:

It was on top of Holy mountain, nera South Stack on Holy IslandšŸ‘

@CalebCarterVideo I take it the March date Caleb was a typo. :wink::rofl:

Actually there is only one lake in the Lake District (Bassenthwaite lake), the rest are either waters or mereā€™s.

Great pic @Leylo1971 but I donā€™t think Reservoirs arenā€™t classed as Lakes, id asked the question above as Iā€™m surrounded by Reservoirs.

Cheerā€™s :+1:

I did mate, a bit further up in the thread,and never got a definitive answer.

It is what it is, if itā€™s not ā€˜legalā€™ then itā€™s not legal.

Try Googling lakes in Lancashire and look at the list of ā€¦no lakes , just reservoirs that pop up :man_shrugging:

I wouldnā€™t mind, but when the vote came up for the subjects, I assumed that reservoirs would be included, and voted lakes, but hey.

Anyway, hereā€™s a back up pic if the original isnā€™t included.

Was this not the answer?

@Leylo1971 sorry Iā€™ll rephrase, I had asked the question and got a load of wiki says this on lakes and reservoirs are man made and have a dam on the end, lakes also have to be surrounded by land and it has to say lake ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦. To be a proper lake etc

Donā€™t shoot the messenger :+1:t3:

Haha, yeh no worries mate :+1: Messenger safe from the firing line :rofl:

Yeh, I did see the post referring to the wiki quote, thatā€™s why I asked for conformation about the reservoirs, a couple of posts down from it, but nobody gave any reply, so I entered a res, instead of a lake, large volume of water last time I looked :joy:

Like I say, It is what it is. I got some cool pics and an half decent video out of yesterday, so nothing lost :smiley: :+1:. Just a shame because its a good pic :smiling_face_with_tear: :rofl:

After seeing that post I did actually asked for conformation, a couple of posts after that one, but non was given. So decided to enter a reservoir anyhow, bloody shed load of water out in the sticks isnā€™t it, same as a lake.

You Google ā€˜lakes in Lancashireā€™ and see what pops upā€¦3. All the rest are reservoirs, which when voting for the subject I assumed being large volumes of water, would be included.

Anyway it is what it is :grin:

There is a reason that no ruling was given - this is designed as your competition, not ours. We run the randomizer to select 3 subjects from a list provided by you, not us.

The subject is selected after a vote by you, not us.

The decision on whose images are winners is made by you, not us.

Any rules we have in place tend to be cheerfully ignored by you and we are too tired to be continually remonstrating.

We could be heavy-handed, we have to be in competitions that involve valuable prizes. Should we be rash enough to ever attempt to run and control the Birthday Challenge again you will find out what strict control involves ā€¦
