A few days ago I posted about the 2022 Stile Cup, a Twitter based "competition" where users can submit a photo of a favourite stile, and then entries are randomly drawn against each other in groups of four and voted on, until there's a winner. I first came across this last year, and decided on a last minute whim to enter this year, even though I didn't have a particularly good photo to submit.
Anyway, the long and short of it can be seen in the screenshot above, where despite a last minute rush on voting, I came 4th of four in my group, missing out on third spot by a whisker. Ah well, never mind, beaten by a better stile (bottom right), and there's always next year. I now have 12 months to find an impressive stile for the 2023 comp, although to be fair there are some stonking entries in this year's competition, and with (so far) 28 groups in round 1, there's plenty to choose from, from the traditional plank type, stones stepped or slabbed (like mine) to some really quirky ones
You can still vote for your favourite. Follow @LakeStiles on twitter or search for #StileCup2022
