Another Late Entry:

Your Mode Of Transport In A Puddle/Water



In order to get this photo I made a u-turn and carefully rode in. I then jumped off as I had new trainers on. I then had to battle with the stand. Took photo and went to release stand and it was stuck in mud. I got on, kicked stand back up and got wheel-spin getting out. I think I need new tyres as the tyres that are on the last lugs and you can feel the back skip around quite a bit. Fun though! thumbup

Sadly back to work again so I can only do this thread at weekends now. frown

Pretty sure this isn't a suspension bridge. You go over in a little gimbal thing.

Yes but the gimble thing is suspended. Wiki mentions both in the suspension bridge area. Look if you get a couple more yes votes for this pic or the others then I am willing to over look your lack off custard ( just this once mind) and give you the win.

Based on this... I found the location on google street view of exactly where you took the Severn pics (one was on a roundabout bridge) on there I could clearly see the bridges and realise you couldn't get much closer. Without going over the bridges( do you have to pay on both?) and also the effort you put into the challenge, because it made you get out and drive.
Yes from me, having become a bridge expert in the past 12 hours it is clear the top section is suspended.

How's this one ? Picture 1 should quite clearly show it's a true suspension bridge.
It's single track with only small pullover points on each side of the bridge, so I couldn't really stop to take a pic before/after the bridge.

Yep, with vertical cables that one there is definitely a suspension bridge!

Others seem to be cable stayed brdiges: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable-stayed_bridge#C...

Requester (Logbert) said custard on dash was OK if you're driving over it.

Ideally a challenge based on data from www.stuffnearBigBen'swork.com

OK. Should be an easy one (even though maybe similar to previous challenges).

Your car/bike + custard next to a pub. Pub must clearly have a name that contains a car make or model

Eg, The Ford, or The Spitfire.

Fartgalen entry is ok by me.. As he has already got 3 yes votes.
I feel mr Eighty should feel a little let down, after all his effort, and his fair playing of the game being patient rather than just jumping in. Well played again mr Eighty, one more vote last night would have won it for him...
Never mind time to move on .. Next challenge mr Fartgalen.

Looks like a point for Andy then, seeing as it's not BigBen's car.

I don't think that matters, it's the photo subject that matters imo

Sorry, BigBen - I'm afraid the challenge clearly says: "Your car/bike + custard...". You may not think the rules matter, or perhaps don't apply to you, but I think you'll find that some of us like to treat the rules of this game with a little more respect.

Good point, well made. Carry on with the challenge.

That is my car, so I'll take this one (there are no rules on who takes the photo, afterall)!

After all I am chief custard holder, so need some credit.

Nice car, if that is your car then I reckon you can go ahead and set the next challenge.
