Six thousand posts competition

[Man of Tanith]

So it appears I talk too much.....
In following with tradition I'd like to propose a competition for a mystery prize.
One of the things I love about BushcraftUk is the feeling of community and also the magnificent trip reports which allow me to accompany folk to some places I'm not necessarily going to get to.

So my comp is a bit different.
I'd like people to suggest their favourite trip report.

The prize will go to a randomly generated post number generated by my step daughter Shan of tanith.

It doesnt need to be exotic per se before anyone wonders. I'd also like to see the reasoning behind suggesting it.

Comp will run until tuesday afternoon.

My thanks to Tony for running the forum. Mods for making it a friendly welcoming place and all the members for constantly showing and sharing some really impressive knowledge.
I've made some good friends through this forum and look forward to the next 6000 posts

nice comp Sam

My favourite trip report is Barethrills Estonia trip as it is the first i have come across Estonia and his report is full of useful tips for a country i had no idea was so beautiful and accessible

Teepee's account of his Arctic wanderings. It made me feel like I was there with him and I reckon you can't ask much more than that.

 

[Mesquite]

I'd agree with you about talking too much but your average count is less than mine

Anyway the trip report I liked a lot was Kard133's write up of his highs and lows on his trip to Norway. Very honest and made you think about what can go wrong on a trip.

I'd like to nominate Wayland's report from the trip up to the Sammi market - just like a good book I got lost in it and went there with the guys; very well written and descriptive, gave me a real sense of having been to a place I'll probably never get to.

What was really special was that, although the photographs were superb, (well it was Wayland!), the writing alone told the story and would stand alone............atb mac

Charliefoxtrot's (Andy) write up of the Jokkmokk trip...fantastic

yo....i'll second mesquite here....i was touched by kard133s write-up....dunno the guy or what is going on in his life but at the end i was left almost wanting to pm him saying....''are you ok m8?....if you need a chat, lemme know''....bizarre, but hey thats me. added to that his writeup was genuinely informative on both practical and emotional/physical fronts.

My favourite trip report is Wayland's trip report of the Saami market. Fantastic reading.

Nice comp! Congratulations on 6k posts

The one that springs to mind is 'First Camp of 2013' by TheOctagon, fantastic inversion pictures, and mountains are close to my heart .

 

[DaveBromley]

congrats on the milestone mate

I would also like to say Wayland's Trip report to Jokkmokk, it made me really jealous not to be there in the FREEZING temps lol

[Bushwhacker]

I don't know what the first ever trip report was on this forum, but I nominate that one.

 

[Harvestman]

I nominate the Big Lebowski's report of our trip to the Elan Valley last summer, because I was there and it was a brilliant trip.

Nice one Sam, congrats!!

My favourite, purly for the comical value and the fact I think its the first one I read on here, if anyone has not read it please do as its brilliant!! - the fiery pants of shame - http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=89062&page=3&highlight=pants

 

[Elen Sentier]

Well done on those posts ... keep on talking

Very difficult choice! I loved the Jokkmokk trip reports but I remember being stunned with the wonderful inversion photos of copper's choice of 'First Camp of 2013' so I go for this one. I was there in the pics and it exacerbated my wish to go there myself.

Have to agree with Dreadhead here Barethrills report was interesting as didn't know much about what Estonia had to offer
