Well well well...

Not only did I spot several names I recognised going into the hat for this one, (step forward Messers III, and Chucca for their brilliant snaps at Eileen Donan), but one of you jammy blighters has only gone and scooped third place.

Step forward our very own Mr Richie with this fine effort:

Now, if he'd just like to get back to me to sort out his prize, we'll get him off out on his bike somewhere nice for his pains...

;)

Nice one Richie!

If I told you your's was a (very!) close joint 4th (along with Ron's, taken from a very similar spot) would that comfort or upset you...?

;)

I'm really not kidding when I say this was easily the most hotly contest, heated vote off we've ever had at 'Loco HQ... Temper tantrums galore!!

:D

[carelesschucca]

4th is the worst place to finish No medals for fourth :)


But how good would it have been to have had that view with 20 odd forum members and their bikes in it... Might have to convince Alan to make that the first proper stop on the way up to The Applecross Add On... Which of course you'll be attending won't ya Mr Mio

[SIII]

I suppose the argument was -

"that SIII 's picture is the dog's, but he just keeps winning, so bugger him, nae mair freebies for the grabbin bar-steward"

I got a crackin photo of some SV's in the same spot, your were wrong Chucca, we stopped at the best bit :smt097

I declare the competition unfair as there are no castles in Essex. Can we have a theme next of Your bike with women slathered in face tan, with fake lashes, fake boobs, too much make up and not enough clothes. That way I could just ride into Chelmsford on a Saturday night and take a winning photo easily.

[Matt-EUC]

How about bikes on top of hills? The means we can eliminate the entire east of England.

Nah, Hong can send us photos of his bike lying on its side as he always seems to find hills to park on.

Hi, Sorry for the delay. Whoop whoop I won something :)
I fancy a trip over to the Lake District, near the Duddon Valley.

Oddly enough we're currently playing with loads of different photo competition ideas this morning and we want your suggestions.

Drop us a note in the comments below, all entries go into a draw and at 5pm on Friday we'll send one lucky winner off for a weekend away for two at their choice of:

The Buccleuch Arms Hotel, in Moffat (http://www.motogoloco.com/buccleuch-arms-hotel-ac-50-a-22)

-OR-

The Brynafon Hotel, in Rhayader (http://www.motogoloco.com/brynafon-hotel-ac-46-a-23)

We'll even chuck in dinner (and breakfast) for you both too.
