August 2025 Photo Contest

[Stu_Barnes]

Submit photos any time you like but the earlier the better, submissions start the 1st of the month, ish, until the last day of the month.
Photos can be resubmitted, community responce will let you know if you're flogging a dead horse.
More than one photo can be submitted by each member but in separate posts. Otherwise only the first image is counted, vote are cast by liking an image.

Please use your original work rather than images lifted from Facebook or other social media, its a bit cheeky to try and win a competition off the back of someone else.

Voting closes the last day of each month, when the winner will be announced.
In event of a tie the winner will be randomly chosen from the tiebreakers.
Winners get a 'Photo Contest Winner' banner on their account


Vote for as many images as you like, unvote or dont vote. It’s your call, votes are cast by liking an image.

If you think of any other rules that should be included then let me know.

Images may be used for the forum social media accounts and appropriately credited, if you do not wish for this to happen then please state that when submitting your image.

The winning submission will receive

• $50 forum store credit as a not so grand prize
• a set of the Global Grenadier Calling Cards

Exploring the alien landscapes of Trona Pinnacles in the Grenadier where the road winds as wild as the rocks.

Remind me@Tom D of your winch make and tyre choice. I can see XLW bumper.
Do you use Gaia gps for mapping ? I’ve just been introduced to it and have been given a load of gpx files for some offroad trails there, as a mate has just come back from an organised group expedition around Albania. . Just trying to plan travels for next year.

I did use Gaia in Montenegro, it’s pretty good although I did end up following a track through a gate and ending up in a sheep field with no other exit. A brief conversation with a farmer who had about 4 words of English got me back on track. I think Gaia is good, I used it to record a trail but haven’t had time to review the data as yet. I only got back last night..

I wish I had had the time to go to Albania, Croatia and Bosnia are worth seeing too…
My winch is a MACON 13000S I think, seems ok, only used in anger once but good line speed and plenty power, 10 year warranty too. XLW can supply them…
