OK, time for a new challenge (my last one didnt work)

A K on a bridge!
Let's Play Tag - Page 9 K-Bridge_zpsloxsovsd

Your mission if you wish to accept it is to get a picture of a k bike on a bridge to complete this challenge.  Then add another picture with a new challenge for the next prospective participant/s(k bike included)

Al

(PS, the pic above is a bridge over the Murrumbidgee river south of Yass.  I've been going there for years, it's normally this busy).  You cant really see it but the road on the other side twists up the side of the hill to the left, heaps of blind corners.

Unfortunately Olaf this latest challenge will have to be disallowed as it is contary to one of the only 2 rules and that is the photo must be taken for the purpose. Rule 2 is if at all possible the challenge photo should be something that is achievable in most parts of the world.
Don't like to do this but please see post #1.  I know that taking the pic for the purpose can be fustrating it took me close to 300 posts before I got my first reply in on my own game. I kept getting beaten by minutes sometimes and still havent managed any more challenges.
One of the main objectives is to get out for a ride.

So let me remind you of the current challenge also:

A K on a bridge
Let's Play Tag - Page 9 K-Bridge_zpsloxsovsd

Must be one of the easiest challenges ever, but the aim is to get the ball rolling again.  So go out get a pic of your K on a bridge.  Then think about something for your challenge for your 2nd photo.

Rick I didn't take any offence at all to that. It got a laugh which is always good and will find another one. I was conscious of it being something that can be picked up anywhere and forgot the second part of it. It was a photo I already had. I have lots of photos and will take another look for something.

No no No it's NOlaf-ing matter! Let's Play Tag - Page 9 161205 I was going to call foul yesterday, but was beaten to it (a beaten tuit is similar to a round tuit, but with a hammered finish).

The challenge was to get out on your bike and go and take a picture of a K on a bridge. Old pictures, no matter how good and memorable just don't count - especially if the bike isn't actually in the place where it should be (i.e. on the bridge).

Having achieved that....you then get to choose what the next challenge will be and then go on another ride and get a pic of a K in that location. Again using old photos (like your Budapest police bikes) doesn't count - unless you nipped across to Hungary this weekend(?). it's all about riding and getting the pic before someone else beats you to it. The clever players plan their route to get the current challenge pic and also get a pic for the new challenge.

I actually rode to London a couple of weeks back to see an old school buddy and planned to get the prominent politician stature/plaque pic while I was passing through the town - was going for the statue of Winston Churchill glowering at Westminster parliament (before Al abandoned the challenge as too challenging!) - however, recent terrorist activity in Europe had increased security and there was no easy way of getting my bike past the barriers and up on the pavement without the likelihood of getting my collar felt by the many coppers maintaining law and order there abouts. I have my next challenge location already in my minds eye (spotted it when I was in Bath to meet Gaz recently) - but just need to win the challenge first!

So come on Olaf, you can do it  plenty of bridges in Cork and I'm sure you could get a pic of both your K's doing something together or a different challenge altogether?

What Al didn't say is that you don't need to go to extremes such as removing the railway lines for a photo.

Woohoo - petrol price came down to under £1 per litre (99.9p) - the more your ride the more you save!! 
Even though it was a horrible gloomy day, with prices like that, there was just no excuse not to get out and ride. 

Braving the traffic, merry throng of shoppers and over heated shops, I went out to Bath on the bike to do some Christmas shopping and get a couple of photos for the challenge. Christmas shopping drew a complete blank - not a single present or stocking filler bought!! Faired a bit better with the photos...

First attempt at meeting the challenge - bike on a bridge...

Let's Play Tag - Page 9 Img_7910

I know it doesn't look like a bridge - but it is! 
http://visitbath.co.uk/things-to-do/pulteney-bridge-p56151

Anyway, before you all object, I disqualified myself as, strictly speaking the bike wasn't quite on the bridge as the powers that be only allow pedestrians, buses, taxis and pushbikes to cross it (and have enforcement cameras to nab the non-entitled). 

So went looking further afield and came across this perfect place...a bridge over a bridge over a stream.

Let's Play Tag - Page 9 Img_7911

...but that wasn't challenging enough, and some purists could argue that the bike wasn't on a bridge but over a culvert so...
Let's Play Tag - Page 9 Img_7912
Let's Play Tag - Page 9 Img_7913

The footbridge was the real challenge, just 1cm wider than the bike each side. I was going to put the bike on the centre stand, but there wasn't enough room...and actually I didn't need to - the bike stood nicely upright with the mirror resting against the railing!
Let's Play Tag - Page 9 Img_7914

So, onto the next challenge... a K bike in an archway (any sort of arch will do - window, doorway, curved bridge span etc.)
Let's Play Tag - Page 9 Img_7915
Let's Play Tag - Page 9 Img_7916

Sham Castle - this is what we call a "folly" as it was built as a scenic feature rather than for any functional purpose. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sham_Castle

The grass looks very green - it actually was very wet and very muddy and the bike was slithering and sliding all over the place when trying to get it into position and back to the road again. Nearly lost it a couple of times!!

So, there you go...challenge is K bike in an archway.

In the absence of response to smithy, and no following challenge, may I submit the following:

Let's Play Tag - Page 9 Img_0220

Let's Play Tag - Page 9 Img_0221
This is a railway viaduct at Tallong, NSW. Part of the main Sydney - Melbourne line, about 200km from Sydney,



Nearby is the town of Marulan, which is very proud of being the only town in the world in the 150 degrees East Meridian of longitude. (It has very little else to be proud of.)

There is a monument in a park through which 150E runs.
Let's Play Tag - Page 9 Img_0222

The challenge is a K bike close to any geographical marker related to latitude, longitude or both. The actual latitude an longitude don't necessarily need to be on the marker. For Aussies, a trig station would be one of the possible items, (don't know the equivalent in other countries) but there are doubtless many things in the world that would fulfil the description.

Hoping this meets the approval of the Krew.

Bill

Nice one Bill

I was hanging back on responding to Smithy's entry in the hope that some one else would comment on it - or that Smithy would post the next challenge pic. Rules of the game must be - if no member challenges an entry, then it is fair game for them to continue with posting the next pic. 

I liked Smithys pic, it was just the technicality of having been taken 3 weeks previously that was mildly bothering me, particularly as I (and others) had given Olaf a hard time on his recent pics!

Your archway pic definitely satisfied the criteria, and you've posed an interesting new challenge. Lets hope someone gets their thinKing cap on and comes up with a clever response.

After posting my picture, and knowing that it wasn't in the guide lines of the rules I expected a avalanche of protest.
I'm glad Bill posted his pics as it wouldn't be fair for me to put up a new challenge, good one Bill.
We have 3 triangulation stations near us all at about 1500 meters, I can get the trail bike to them but not the K, interesting new challenge.

Don't be feeling I felt I was being given a hard time. Just the usual banter of the forum and no more than that. What matters is that some nice photos come up and its a fun thing.

Thanks for the kind words, BAE and smithy.

Perhaps an obvious K bike part carried up on the trail bike smithy?

May need adjudication. Very Happy

Agree Olaf, I like this game, maybe BAE is right with the comment about fair game if no one challenges, or maybe the rules could be as long as the photo posted was taken within a month of the previous challenge post, then we may see this thread move along quicker, and get to see many more pictures.

I've crossed it on the west coast, the Sturt and up the east coast.  Not recently though.

Greetings from the UK and the Greenwich Meridian Line!

Let's Play Tag - Page 9 PhotoChooser-0844ff8a-dd0c-4eab-af48-5fad63179976

Sadly there were no Meridian markers readily accessible to match indian036's great piece of sculpture and artwork, but this marker for the Greenwich Meridian marker in the Cambridgeshire village of Toft made for a great ride out this afternoon for my son on his SV650 and myself on the Brick.  

Closer view of the marker itself although sadly a low flying son got in the way...

He had flown past for this pic!
Let's Play Tag - Page 9 PhotoChooser-7daf2e73-9e34-41ec-ab6e-ea60598e273f

Journey home took us through several picturesque thatch cottage type villages but this little arrangement caught my attention, giving lots of scope for some rapid responses.  

Let's Play Tag - Page 9 PhotoChooser-e6ef88c6-2db3-4fef-9bca-db5c8d2a42cf

The classic British red phone box (or any phone box really) with a K allows you to wallow in the satisfaction of a job well done! But to keep the global game running on, K's by a Bus Stop, or a Parish noticeboard or the Council grit box earns a thumbs up.  Don't offer up a K by a drain though...

Happy New Year!

Nice one, Nigel.

Lat/Long doesn't get more definitive than a 0 degree line. A K on both at the same time would be a real challenge though - being very distant from any land.

Had a great ride yesterday with Tom and Richmeister.
From Newcastle to Stroud via Buckets Way, across to Dungog and East Gresford and via a few back roads back down to Maitland. Lunch at Paterson and grabbed a snap of this old thing at the Rail Motor society. Unfortunately it was closed so this is as close as I could get.
Let's Play Tag - Page 9 K100_a10

New challenge will be an old tram, off the rails, that's been converted to some other use.
This is Harry's Cafe de Wheels a famous local pie cart in central Newcastle.

With the new challenge a K at a town water dam. This used to be the Inverell town water supply. Crap water. Now we get it from Copeton. Much better

Reminds me of a time long ago when I visited an old mate of mine and his GF who were building a yacht. They had it moored on a river while they fitted out the mast and rigging. He explained to me that the WC and water tanks were not yet functional and there was a red bucket on the port side for doo doos and a green bucket on the starboard side to fetch clean water. I was on deck early the next morning when his GF came up and used the red bucket to fetch water for the kettle... Shocked .... "Oh dear! Is that the time? I must get going." Laughing

For once I am glad someone lives down under.

We are an island here and a big interest in boats. The thought of someone like that on the loose here just doesn't bear thinking about.

OK, so the challenge was a  town water dam...

So here's a dam at the head of a Welsh reservoir (Pontsticill Reservoir, Brecon Beacons, Wales):

Let's Play Tag - Page 9 Img_8010
Let's Play Tag - Page 9 Img_8011
Let's Play Tag - Page 9 Img_8012

So disappointed though - could have cracked two challenges in one - right next to the dam was an old railway carriage converted into a cafe!
Let's Play Tag - Page 9 Img_8013

Unfortunately, by day ride was somewhat curtailed by picking up a screw in the rear tyre...puncture at 70mph sure shock the bike!! My puncture repair efforts failed (kit was probably too old) and the breakdown man was unable to fix it at the road side either, so took the bike (and me) back home (where I changed bikes and carried on with my adventure). I had a new challenge lined up, but in light of the breakdown, I reconsidered...

---so, new challenge, K bike with a break down vehicle.

Of course, with the k bike with a break down vehicle picture challenge... you don't have to break down to qualify. I wouldn't wish that on anybody. 

Time for me to go and buy a new puncture repair kit. My back up can of tyreweld didn't work either and actually prevented the breakdown man from using his puncture repair kit - so I won't bother with that stuff again!

You're right Ed - got to be quick (sometimes) - and it's more fun when the game picks up the pace. In the true spirit of the game, I searched the internet and google maps for a suitable location then planned a day ride to go see it. It was somewhere I had never been or even ever considered visiting before and it made for a great ride out (and worth a revisit when the narrow gauge mountain railway, steam museum and the railway carriage cafe are open). At the same time I had a couple of ideas for the next challenge and also planned them into the route. The whole route was put together on my macbook (using Garmin Basecamp) and then uploaded to my bike GPS. Makes adventuring easy.

We need to get you one of Bills logos for the top box .

The sKroll went for an outing this morning.

Found this one on my way home ,NRMA roadside Kollection. I avoided any that were parked at their homebase as that would be too easy.

Nice one! 
Great effort Ed....and good to see that you weren't on the back of the wagon!

After the shame of being brought home in a tin box and left behind while Heidi continued the adventure with me, I found Gretel was sulking this morning - and refused to start. After a couple of turns of the starter, the electrics went completely dead (including the clock). 05:45 in the morning was not the time to investigate further, so Heidi saved the day again....bugger!

So what's the next challenge?

Ha . Ha , keeping the girls happy isn't always easy Paul. 
hope you can appease them both.
Next challenge will take a while as it involves the upcoming Snowy get together.
sit back and have a breather for awhile.

I don't know Ed... in the interests of keeping the game going mate... we're looking for a challenge now, not in 4 weeks time. 🤡

good things come to those who wait Kapt'n. 
It has been great to see this thread move along lately , I'm just preparing to put a new "spin" on it.
especially with the help of a few Krew.

Just checked Gretel over with my fluke multimeter...battery good, all fuses good...but dead as a dodo. Let's Play Tag - Page 9 177381 

Then remembered that PO (Stephen) had fitted a concealed isolation switch - flipped in a few times and it felt very floppy (no nice positive latching). Removed it and tested it on the fluke - no continuity. Plastic showed signs of melting around one terminal. Jumpered it out and hey presto power restored and, Gretel, she purring again! 

Some ejjit ( Embarassed Let's Play Tag - Page 9 652573 Rolling Eyes Embarassed Rolling Eyes Let's Play Tag - Page 9 652573 Embarassed ) seems to have got too close with the pressure washer yesterday and flooded the switch causing it to arc and spark when drawing the starting current across it this morning. I guess the switch didn't have a high IP rating! Oh well, problem solved - and another lesson learnt.

As for the wait for the next challenge....like Kaptain says, 4 weeks is a long tome to wait, but I'm sure it will be worth it. 

Sitting back patiently SleepSleepSleepSleep:sleep:wake me when ready.

It seems the Krew are keen to keep this game moving , so here goes . 
Not the pic I was aiming for , would have liked to put a bit more of a ride in front of me to achieve this challenge.
but this was giving me some inspiration for an upcoming project which will be shared with all later . 
Weather was a bit hazy and overcast , but still a top spot to admire the surrounds of Newcastle.
There are several unique locations around this city which offer views to the ocean , country and city scape. which are even better on a summers night.
BTW , I still have no idea what this marker represents. 
there is a memorial plinth close by suggesting a local family owned a vast area of this suburb .


Let's Play Tag - Page 9 Img_4811

so the challenge will be to find a unique marker on a hill with inspiring views. bring it on people .
even better with a Kluster of K riders in the pic.

I was hoping to add this one in , 
This spinning logo "BeaKon " trig marker was made with the assistance of Smithy and Bill, 
and gratefully enKouraged by Tackler as it made its way to the top of Australia, Mt Kosciuszko , during the Snowy Mountains ride put together by Bill.
