Summit Cairns

Some of us live a long way from the nearest summit cairn, so just do your best. Any notable summit or any cairn will do if that's all you can find. Failing that, a Trig Point.

The rules.
1. Take a photo of your bike with something that matches the theme in the picture.
2. Interpret the theme any way you like.
3. Pictures should be taken between the dates in the topic title.
4. If you post a picture you can either suggest a theme for next week’s challenge or vote for someone else’s suggestion. First suggestion to get two supporting votes becomes next weeks theme, probably.
5. No limit on number of photos posted.

Tow Crag trig point above the Turbary Road at 08:12 this morning, midway through a lunchtime-to-lunchtime overnighter from Kirkby Stephen to Clitheroe.

Next week: an interesting gravestone or hillside memorial...

Lord Wantage Monument along the Ridgeway. One of the higher places locally and the 'summit' of my ride 😀

It is a proper cairn though. Even has a plaque on it. 🤣

You can just about see it at 9 o'clock on the front wheel.

One of the cairns at the top of the Achnashellach descent. Great day for my first ride in Torridon!

Given the time available this is my loose approximation of the word/s 'summit' and 'cairns' without trying to build a cairn from bits of mud and gravel 😂:

Three Summit Sunday:

@ta11pau1 snap!

4261107

We were actually heading up Coire Lair at this point, having come up from Coulin, so about to start the monster climb in the background. We'd come down to Achnashellach the day before on the classic lollipop route - a descent that didn't dissapoint.

A bonus one from the other side:

Hope this counts, great ride today with pizza and beers towards the end...

What's next week's theme? I'd suggest 'water' if there is nothing else.

Three suggestions, so I'll go with the first one, dry stone walls, even though some of us are going to be at a regional disadvantage again.
