Travel Adventures: our top 20 picks

We asked you to send us your most daredevil pictures for our Facebook Travel Adventures Competition and you didn’t disappoint. We had over 500 submissions, ranging from rafting to roaring alongside tigers, but we have now managed to go through all of them and whittle them down to the last 20. From this selection, an independent judge will pick 1 winner and 5 runner-ups. The lucky winner will be taking home a Nokia Lumia 800 smartphone, while the runner-ups will be awarded a Lonely Planet guide of their choice. Watch this space as we will be announcing them very soon!
