5th Anniversary GAW.
on: February 18, 2019, 05:22:47 PM
I was going to do a give-away mid January to fall on my MTO 5th anniversary (I joined January 12 2014).  Two things prevented this from happening.  Firstly my workshop (garden shed) is not heated, and even though we are having a warmer than normal winter it was still January in Canada and I needed it to get above freezing for a few days so I could finish off some SAK scales.  Secondly I got distracted making burgers.  Anyway, better late than never...

The prizes:

3rd Prize is an OD Green Skinth M-Shield.  Handmade here in Canada by MTO member Metropolicity.








2nd prize - NIB Victorinox Alox Electrician.








1st prize - Victorinox Climber with Pacific Yew scales and Tec Accessories Clip.










The rules:
1. GAW is open to all MTO members regardless of post count.
2. BCNZ has final say in case of any dispute.
3. GAW will run till end of February.
4. Any other legal things I'm supposed to be mentioning to give items away on the internet.


How to Enter:
1. Entry is via your name on a numbered list in the usual way:
 001 - BCNZ
 002 - RandomMTOMember
 Copy/paste the list to your post like usual (y'all know what to do).

2. All entries must be accompanied by a picture taken by the entrant of a favourite outdoor area near where they live.  This picture can be old, but recent is preferred, can be of your backyard, the view from your commute, dog walk, work, a national/provincial park close by, anywhere as long as it's outside.

3. Pictures must be accompanied by a short description so we know what we're looking at.

That's it.  Get posting!

It's a nature reserve, maintained by volunteers and easily shot itself right into my top 3 nearby places to hike in. :dd:

This is my back yard.  Got two gas grills, use one as an oven for things like baked potatoes, the other is for grilling meats.

Thanks for the great GAW.
I love old abandoned places, I feel they tell of dreams lived or lost & are a memorial to earlier lives lived for others to remember & build on. This one is about 30 miles south of my house.

Here is a pic of the country park where I live
This used to be a brickyard the water you can see used to be where they dug the clay for the bricks so it’s very deep water and there used to be kilns and conveyor belts before they turned it in to a park

What an awesome giveaway  :sa:.

Congrats on the 5 years here BCNZ, and here's to the next 5 years (or 10 ... 15 ...)  :cheers:.

Thank you for this generous giveaway and I would like to be a part of it  :D.

Here's a pic of one of my favorite hiking spots, it starts just Nord-East of a town named Herentals (only about 20 minutes drive away from my home) and stretches over a town named Lichtaart to a town named Kasterlee, over a distance of just over 10 km (6.2 Miles), which is quite big over here (and ridiculously small for you guys in the U.S.).  Actually, it starts in a town named Nijlen, and from there it goes to Herentals (also for about 10 km or 6.2 Miles), but that first piece is not very wide, with an average of around 0,5 Km in width, and it get interrupted at Herentals with industrial sites and the town itself, so I wouldn't count it as being one piece. 

Anyway, it's actually a couple of long stretched sand dunes, dating back to the last ice age, and it's one of my favorite hiking spots.




Hope You guys don't mind me posting a couple more pics ...

Here's a pic of the Church tower (coming from the pad leading to the old cemetary) in my home town, Berlaar.



And here's a pic, taken from inside the church tower, showing the town square:

Not an entry, just playing along. Please omit me from the draw  :salute:

This photo was taken Christmas Day 2013, and that Iron Age hill fort is where I chose to have my Christmas dinner, away from all the usual obligations and trappings of the day. For fans of The Princess Bride, it's where (or very close to where) the battle of wits between Wesley and Vizzini with the iocane powder was shot.
