The Grey Arrows 2nd Annual Birthday Competition

Trust me, a suspension bridge with three pillars is pretty impossible down south! :joy: always going to be a challenge for the committee to find interesting items that’s readily achievable for all.

Also, I know I never to get a rainbow, the difficult weather challenge did mean that the challenge ran to the last day, keeping many still interested.

Huge thanks to the organisers. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to mix a bit of work & family travel in and around the hunt items.

The meteorological elements were frustrating for many of us and I pay specific tribute to those fortunate (or well organised) enough to capture them :+1:

@Rezzmo had an entry over the fog that was my personal favourite, smashing pic!

Congratulations @anon52324101, well deserved - you certainly went the extra mile or two for the challenge! Congrats also to @Rezzmo and @stevesb It was a very close race and I enjoyed it that it was very close to the end.

Big congratulations to @Committee for organising another great challenge. These really do help get me out more than I would normally which is probably the main reason I enjoy these challenges!

Well done everybody. I can’t say I had much hope of being anywhere near the podium, but it’s been enjoyable trying and there have been some really cracking entries. Don’t know about anybody else, but I reckon it’s going to take me a little while to get used to not having to keep a half-eye on the sky looking for rainbows! :wink:
