I could have completed all 20 within minutes of the comp being announced if we could use archive media … oh, and had I not been slightly under the affluence of inchohol at the time, as the thread confirms. LOL.

Well I know there are a few on the list I won’t be able to get without travelling hundreds of miles.
I know the lighthouse isn’t a sandy beach but it is over 100 years old 
I struggled, initially … but, with lots of Googling, pretty much all 20 will have been within 50ish miles.
The “tall building” one just happened to be convenient when I was in Leeds the other day. We do have some much closer! LOL!
#11 - Sandy Beach
Mudeford Sandbank - Hengitsbury Head
These are some of the most expensive beach huts in the world. It’s just such a shame my uncle didn’t leave me his in his will. 
This was even earlier this morning than the previous 2 posts … not even 5am.
The sun had “technically” risen, but was still obscured by clouds in the east.
I count this as my first proper Litchi Mission … as brief and unadventurous as it is. It’s the first time I’ve let Litchi take my beloved MP to the very extreeeeeeeeeme limit of VLOS, doing all the pointing and flying!
I have to say, being so early in the day was really appreciated when it turned to head to WP1 and I could see them 2 red LEDs. #MustGetStrobons

Not sure how many I can get with the time I have now, I’ll have to see what I’ve taken the last few weeks to qualify and tick them off the list so I can try and plan a day out
I’m yet to trust Litchi with any of mine on a mission

It most certainly is a psychological hurdle!
At least, at all times, the RC was in GOOD connection … so I knew it was following instructions. 
(Also knew that Sport Mode would override instantly, too! 
)
I think the main hurdle is trusting myself to set it up correctly.

#13 - Steam Train
Watercress Line - Ropley - Hants
It is what it is, really. As it came off the SD card.
Could have stabilised the vid, but you can see from the trees that it’s a tad breezy - so I think too little movement would look strange. I might try some time.
I’d walked a bit, through the woods to the right, to get somewhere nice and close to the line … but options for a patch to take off were zero.
Cleared a small bit of the undergrowth just large enough … even though the trees were my head height above.
Snuck up a couple of feet, then sidled my way out from between the foliage.
Flew to the far side of the line since the train would get a splash of sunshine on the sides from there.

#19 - Wind Turbine
Sparsholt - nr Winchester
Thought this one was going to be impossible. It took a LOT of Googling. Ended up searching planning permissions! LOL!
The roads near these were busy with no little spaces to pull off the road. Ended up having to fly best part of a mile downwind to get this clip … and daren’t try any further in case getting back into wind was going to be a struggle. Needn’t have worried, as it happens, was quite OK.

I’m on my hols at the moment and no Mavic Air with me sad 
. But as @OzoneVibe says, I have done a lot of googling and have a couple of days set aside and some miles to do in order to move up the leaderboard 
. Trouble is p, as @ozone and I are so close, he is getting to some locations before me, so hope they don’t need to be unique… 
No way i’ll Be doing that with my new Mavic Air at the moment!!!
Don’t worry - you’ll get great pics!
Just the getting back could be an issue.
