September challenge "Exploration & Adventure"

[XG332]

Thanks again for choosing my picture as winner. As i have just signed up for next years Mongol Rally, my adventurous side is itching to get out.
Thus i have decided that this months topic is "Exploration & Adventure"

•The shot MUST be taken this month, with the closing date being midnight on the 30th of September.
•The exif must be posted with your shot.
•Keep the images posted to a decent size please, 1024px wide max.
•I'll choose the winner this month (with the winner choosing the theme for next month, then deciding who should win that months)
•The Challenge for next month should be generic, as not everyone has access to zoom, macro, specialist lenses. It should be shots that everyone is capable of achieving with the bare essentials

Best of luck!

Camped halfway down Loch Ericht, ended up stuck for 2 days unable to canoe back due to gale force winds so certainly an adventure for us!

Someone should've told the fly that some places are best left unexplored...

First off, thanks for the entrys, i have thought long and hard about this and. .

1st Moribund
Not a have technical photo but it comes with a true story to coincide with the title.


2nd Longun
I enjoyed the 3 pictures stitched together, as it gives the image and track a sence of direction. Also the photo has loads going on in the background aside the track.


3rd Kermit Power
I hate spiders.


Right, over to you Moribund. Thanks again and sorry for the late reply. This means i can get the camera out again.
