A few pics from the weekend backcountry outing with over to Carruthers Peak and a frozen Club Lake. E-bike on and then snowshoeing / touring ski over to Carruthers Peak. Thanks heaps to the legends at for the snowshoes and also the Elan Ripsticks i ripped around perisher resort the next day!

Some more great pics were taken on this trip but you'll just have to wait and see ...

Camera gear went pretty well in the pack I made, same cannot be said for the carbon trekking pole I snapped falling into a small cornice on the way back

HI everyone, for those of you who have been asking for a Selfie photo matching option, I have uploaded the galleries to Geosnapshot who offer this service:

https://geosnapshot.com/e/test-event-27754

Lots more options to filter on there including matching to a selfie.
(Btw sorry I can't change the URL from test event)

Good news for some of you UTA50 runners, i found another 1200+ photos hiding from me! (5300+ photos total in a day will do crazy things to a workflow)

Anyway, i have tagged these and placed them up on the site!

I've had a little feedback that the search page isn't so easy to find - here's the direct link

My gallery of UTA50 tagged photos are now up, see the galleries page in my links to view and use the Search feature to search for the name on your plate !

Tagged photos from UTA50 are now up!

Use the search feature of the site to search for the name on your plate, then try the number or use the Untagged section to see if you didn't have a plate visible or with a name.

I've done the best i can to pull out the names yesterday and hopefully got quite a few 50ers!

UTA100 photos are now up!

Congrats to all of you legends!

I have done my best to tag names from race bibs as best I can, you can use the global Search feature on the site (use the magnifying glass at top) to search for your name, failing that use Number and if nothing is found check Untagged.

Thanks!

Congratulations to everyone doing UTA50 yesterday.

I have now put up the photos I took from the creek crossing at Wentworth Falls and the section between Echo Point and the Furber Steps from yesterday afternoon. Mostly from the mid-pace pack to the party pack!

Note that it is possible to use face recognition but the website provider doesn't let me make that public, if you are interested please message me with your email address and I can set you up to use it.

Thanks and happy searching ! :)

I am also running some automated plate scanning software to pick up the names on plates where this and this will be available later on, will post when available. Not perfect but picks up a fair few.

Thanks and happy searching ! :)

Working on UTA photos from yesterday. Processing 4000+ photos takes a while! Stay tuned.
