All great picks. Camp life to me means people more than landscapes so i went with Elines pic which captures it perfectly. Its a good job Pete had his tidy head on!!!!

What you don't see is the builders tarp covered in heaps of Pete's kit just out of shot, the man's like an explosion in a charity shop

HHmmmm quite tough wanted to vote for three of them!

 

[Wayland]

Oy. Dave, you're not supposed to vote for your own picture mate...

 

[Harvestman]

Oy. Dave, you're not supposed to vote for your own picture mate...

Not sure it says that in the rules, but it certainly happened in previous polls when you could see who voted for each picture.

 

[Wayland]

Well that's just not Cricket is it... Tut,tut.

 

[treadlightly]

If it doesn't say it in the rules then it should

 

[Elines]

Mmmmm - see rules 13 and 14

13.The organiser has the right to add to or refine the competition rules as they see fit

14.The organiser has the final say in any dispute

I guess Steve is at the Moot and not yet in a position to take a view

 

[treadlightly]

Dave's pic was my favourite but I was too late to vote..:11doh:

 

[Man of Tanith]

Yup steve is off gallivanting.
He asked me to announce the winner of this month . However as we have a draw I shall post another poll for two days for people to choose between the drawing photos.
I will do this tonight as I'm currently at work.
As for rules about voting for own entry I will leave this for steve to decide upon his return.

I'm not really upset by the way, I just wanted to give Dave a hard time.

It doesn't look like any of the winners has had a hand in their own victories so nothing to get twisted up about.

ditto...............

Since Sam's internet is not cooperating, I've edited the poll to determine the winner.
It's extended for two days.

 

[Mesquite]

How do folks. I'm on a food run at the moment and popped on to see what's happening.

Looks like some fun as well. There's nothing in the rules about voting for your own pic so that's fine.

Regarding the draw can this thread be closed and a new one opened to decide the winner.

That way people who have voted originally can vote on their favourite pic out of the two that have drawn. Thanks

 

[Teepee]

I'm really torn but am going for the Sami long fire of Waylands, simply because I was there and the guy is more intidy than Matt. .

 

[Dave]

Given the title, camp life, Waylands just pips the post for me, but that trailstar photo and backdrop is magnificent Matt.



This is the first image which came to mind when I read this months competition title.
Its the cover of an old woodlore catalogue.



I dont know who the artist is obviously thats Ray Mears in his canoe....

nice painting huh?

 

[Wayland]

I noticed he was on the Beeb promoting his new autobiography last night.

I wish he'd get on with that field-craft book we're all waiting for...

I fully agree.
And the carving one.

But I'll read the autobiography too

 

[Mesquite]

Sorry folks. Got back from the Bushmoot and forgot I had to sort this out...

Unfortunately I hadn't considered the possibility of pictures tying in a single poll so didn't have a rule to cover that eventuality. I have now put one in to cover this.

11. If there is only one poll due to the number of entries and the result is tied at the end of voting then all tying pictures will go forward into a new poll to decide the overall winner.

Because it wasn't there prior to Graham_S amending this poll to allow people to vote on the pictures from The Octagon and Wayland I am going to let the result stand and therefore the winning picture is from The Octogan.

Well done Matthew, your picture now goes forward to the grand final in December
