Rinda's 2015 Scavenger Hunt - The summer holidays edition (mostly!)

I'm I'm linking up with Rinda to share some of my latest scavenger hunt finds...

Number 16.  A panoramic view - this one was at the top of the Ingleton Waterfall Trail with a beautiful view over North Yorkshire.

Number 4. People playing a board game or card game.  All enjoying the warm weather a few weeks ago with The Best of British game in full swing.

Number 13.  A merry-go-round or a carousel.  This beauty was by Liverpool Docks where we spent a day enjoying all things Beatles.

Number 7.  A turtle.  This little fellow was at Chester Zoo

Number 17.  At least two people wearing the same outfit or uniform.  This was an early morning photo shoot at Chester Zoo to celebrate our Guiness World Record attempt success for the largest sleepover last September.  There were leaders and Brownies all in the same uniform :)

Number 5.  Architectural columns.  These were outside Central Library in Manchester which Alex and I visited for an afternoon in the holidays.

Number 1. A bouquet of flowers.  These gorgeous ones were sent to my Mum and Dad for their wedding aniversary

Number 2.  An ornate door knocker.  Found on one of the doors at Warwick Castle.

I still have 5 pictures to find and I'm not going to make it by tomorrow.  So I'm hoping Rinda doesn't mind if I take the liberty of extending it to over this weekend as I am away for a few nights and know I will be able to find the rest while I have time on my hands to look around...

Summertime Photo Scavanger Hunt 2015 - The Conwy edition

I'm linking up with Rinda today to share some of my finds from the hunt this year.  If you've not come across it before it's a list of items to take photos of in the summer.  Sounds easy doesn't it? Well I've still to find the ornate door knocker and the overloaded car or lorry!

But what I did find was a few things in Conwy on a weekend away.  The same weekend we go on every year with a ton of families; some camp, some have their own holiday home there and we stay in a B&B!  Conwy didn't disappoint again this year and here is what I found...

6. A metal bridge

This one is owned by the National Trust and has a lot of history.  Built by Thomas Telford in 1826 it was one of the first suspension bridges in the world and originally held a road.  It was very photogenic as bridges go so I took a few!

12. A public restroom, bathroom or toilet

Again I went for the historic version.  The ladies is in the square building on the left but the gents get to relieve themselves in the posh tower.  What you can't see is that they have a beautiful view of Conwy estuary (see next find!)

20. A natural body of water - the estuary of the River Conwy 

15. A flag pole with at least three flags on it.  Later in the day we had a late lunch at the marina around the corner.  As we walked towards the pub I spotted the flag pole with several flags flying.  I remember someone else spotted a very similar flag pole at another marina during this hunt so I did some research and found out they are called gaffs!

They were 9 families/couples away for this weekend, all with various extra children and dogs!  While the lads and dads headed off to watch Conwy Town v Bolton Wanderers us ladies (and small girls!) chilled on the beach and entertained the aforementioned dogs before walking them round to the marina.  So here is my last Conway find...

3. A person walking a dog or other animal.  Well, 9 people to be precise and 6 dogs!

Still lots to find on the list but I'm hoping to cross a lot off when I take a break from work later this month and I know of two occasions coming up where I can get numbers 10 and 17.  Wish me luck!
