Hoggs

@oldgrump yup 10 red will get you the 50 point bonus! All 18 AA boxes listed get you the 50 point bonus! EDIT oh crap yes I missed one!! I'll get this added to the list THANKS!!! I just completely miscounted there are only 18... and yes I've found the one in Beadnell- it's in the hedge by the layby hopefully not too over grown!!!

hurray for the correct section! phone boxes must be the old style I asked C what colour he thinks horses are and he said brown so allowed

I'm kinda contractually obliged...

ARRRRGGGGHHHHHH I'm docking anyone that posts a sodding question here 5 points

THIS IS NOT THE DISCUSSION THREAD!!! If you want multi points i will require multi photos each at a jaunty angle

a)I will accept anything that looks like this externally regardless of the gubbins b) no!! discussion thread!!!

@Throttled and you're getting even more flexibility with the tags

So @mike_smith and @oldgrump got pretty much all the tags last year. Top job guys. Will they retain their joint crown this year? Remind me what I need to do….. 1. Go to this thread and grab yourself a unique number: 2. Check the map here to find out where you need to go (hopefully one of these at least works for you) https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1epWhEZ19DgWL4gqQawXiEYXlvMgJSYQL&usp=sharing https://www.google.com/maps/@54.3287937,-6.2542628,6z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!6m1!1s1epWhEZ19DgWL4gqQawXiEYXlvMgJSYQL 3. Take a picture of you or your bike outside the location with your number in sight 4. Post that picture in this thread 5. Update your point total (found in your profile). @rennie will shout at you repeatedly if you do not do this. 6. Have fun! General tags. As before there are FIFTEEN tags per mainland UK region PLUS bonus rounds in the Isle of Man, Isle of Wight and Northern Ireland (seriously if anyone gets any of these they get special Hoggs bonus points) Also because I just found they were a thing and they are SUPER cool we have replaced the Husoi bonus (sorry not sorry) with the AA Sentry Box bonus round. There are some in North Scotland so in theory he could still go get some… There are 18 (well, there are 19 but I couldn’t find one of them) and if you get them all you can have an extra 50 points. This year it's 10 points per tag as usual with the 50 point bonus for completed regions/bonus rounds. There will be a spreadsheet of doom again that I use to keep track (badly) of the scores. As always you can challenge my counting and I will probably make sarcastic comments before going and doing it properly So as the regular players will know we have a bonus round, why I keep insisting on giving myself more work is a mystery to everyone but there we go. This is year we are doing 10 Red Phone boxes (more phone boxes.. well yes because I was going to do this first and was looking up maps of them to make sure there were as many as I thought and then I stumbled across the AA Sentry boxes and I thought well we will do them both). Why Hoggs, I hear you ask, how will you know if they are all different? Well imaginary question asker, by this point I know for a fact that everyone that plays does it properly and I trust everyone to go find 10 different ones because that is the fun of it. When posting these it would be helpful if you label them phone box 1, phone box 2 just so I can make sure I am keeping up score wise Pub Round – Again… we have done ALL the pub names in the whole wide world so this year we’re just doing a theme. Colourful pubs! Now you will all know at this point that I am AMAZINGLY flexible with these (especially for our taggers south of the boarder). You will need to find a pub that has the ACTUAL colour OR something that is generally considered to be that colour (for example you might find The Panthers Pub & Grill and as Panthers are black it will be allowed). If people HATE this concept then tough you will have to put up for it this year but let me know and I will just scrap this round for next year because we have done ALL THE PUBS. If you LOVE this concept then let me know as I have other collective theme ideas. - of course let me know in the discussion thread NOT HERE! 1. Red 2. Orange 3. Yellow/gold 4. Green 5. Blue 6. Pink/purple – This one I am encouraging you all to come up with some great alternatives if you can’t find the colour!! 7. Black 8. White 9. Grey/silver 10. Brown Hoggs bonus points (not redeemable for tag points) are available for my favourite most tenuous pub colour connection! As always this thread is for PICTURES ONLY. If you want to tell me how awesome I am then you can do so here Will Hoggfather get the first tag of the year again? He was saying to me the other day he might not but he is insanely competitive so I wouldn’t rule it out….. GO GO GO!!!

Yeah so @oldgrumpI missed Shin Falls as the text was next to the picture not above it and I was obvioulsy paying as much attention as a BMW driver. @JRH nips 3rd and @CB999 has a last minute petrol station flurry to bump themselves into a solid mid pack position. Mike Smith - 2350 OldGrump - 2350 JRH - 410 Mickly - 400 Throttled - 230 Paul Kent - 230 Ian Frog - 210 JackieOwheels - 170 Stu - 90 CB999 - 80 Keeper96 - 70 Rennie - 40 TimR - 20 Husoi - 20

yes and no I've been swamped with work, will try look at it tomorrow before I get too drunk to count

Well another fun year... but at least we were able to get out a bit more! Not going to lie I haven't even started this yet so all get signed up and it will encourage me to get my arse in gear. Actually I do have a list of like 7 places so I suppose I have started a bit. Anyway I am a tag finding machine after all these years so fear not it will be done (a Christmas miracle fuelled by cider and despair) So for those who don't know... how does this thing work? First job: Sign up here - pick a unique number of 3 digits or less, first come first served. Same number, different number, I don't care. Post below with your request and you will get added to this post. The list of awesome will be posted up on the evening of the 31st but entries will not be accepted before the 1st. You will be required to take a picture of you in bike gear / your bike with your number visible in front of the location and post in the relevant picture thread to score points. https://themotorbikeforum.co.uk/topic/42496-challenge-2022-map-and-pictures-only You will get 10 points per picture and 50 bonus points for completing a set As before if you can name your pictures with the tag reference that makes my life easier (most of you did as you are more organised than me, failure to do so will result in angry mods). Like a Christmas miracle the map link will appear after dark on the 31st December. As usual there will be a discussion thread for you to argue with me in And a separate picture thread will also appear soon. As usual no prizes for the most points other than being smug on the internet and having a lot of fun out there on your bikes which is what it's all about! 1 - Grumpy Old Git 5 - Stu 09 - JRH 13 - redjj 22 - Bender 24 - rennie 35 - Mickly 43 - Yorkshire_teapot 49 - Fish 51 - oldgrump 54 - Throttled 057 - Trooper74 77 - Bonio 81 - xMachina 88 - wil 89 - JackieOWheels 101 - southwesterly 152 - Keeper96 256 - Ian Frog 262 - teo63 313 - LivewireProblem 404 - Rigsville 648-Johnny Beesa 666 - Goat 900 - CB999

oh... erm let me check my spreadsheet of doom...

hurray!! I'm late I know... now you can go get some tags next year

Right. Here we go, well done to me for updating the scores *awaits for applause to die down* First off, @mike_smith I couldn't really tell which pictures were Woolsthorpe or V-ATE cafe but I have given you the benefit of the doubt because you literally go everywhere so I am sure you were there at some point. ITS A TIE FOR BRONZE! Will either @Mickly or @JRH manage another tag or two???? Is @oldgrump really done or will he sneak out for a couple more?? Is Hoggs giving oldgrump another bonus point for mentioning a cafe that will probably be on the tags next year saving her a bit of work? (spoiler: yes) Mike Smith - 2350 OldGrump - 2290 Mickly - 400 JRH - 400 Throttled - 230 Paul Kent - 230 Ian Frog - 210 JackieOwheels - 170 Stu - 90 Keeper96 - 70 Rennie - 40 TimR - 20 Husoi - 20 Right well I suppose I better go start next years. No rest for the wicked.

OK life got in the way... tomorrow... maybe hopefully
