Just re-read the item and I didn’t need to run to the car and get the scarf cos I forgot it, or leave it behind when I forgot it again.
I already had the carrot!!!
Oh well, it’s been fun, and I hope a local will make use of it
I’ve been going through what I’ve got off my drone, and it’s nowhere near everything but I bet I have icicles on there! Not going to turn it on inside the airport to find out though, so I’ll take the draw with Brian, and honoured to join him as he worked hard for his too. (unless he has an ace up his sleeve? )
Not an ace, but a Andy! Sorry but say yours and just had to go and do this, especially as I had borrowed the Santa… Trouble is that now I know you post 2 to put me in 3rd .
But someone else maybe holding on for the final couple of hours
Nice one! @BrianB
You’ve got me then, I am now on a plane, but due to a 45min delay will not land until after the deadline. Shame as I definitely have a Christmas card entry and icicles on the drone somewhere I am sure

Thank you very much. I would like to thank and dedicate this trophy to my wife and kids for … Sod that, thanks to Dji for making the Mavic such an awesome drone and thanks to you lot for a fountain of info and advice. Well done everyone
Thanks everyone involved in the organising and agonising updating of the leaderboard.
I really enjoyed it, the challenge itself, and having to take pictures of things I would not have thought of. I will definitely be looking out for the next challenge!
Thank you and once again thanks for the committee for organising the challenge. This has been a really interesting one and, with photos taken from USA to Russia it has had a real international flavour! Just glad we did get some snow and ice, even if there wasn’t a ‘beast from the east’…
And I forgot to say a huge well done and thanks to @BrianB and @GrahameRob for smashing out these challenges, which is what gave me the inspiration to go for it at the end as thought of opportunities came to me
I reckon if I’d paid attention weeks/months ago (suns reflection, decorated tree and house, deer etc) or had got to Ukraine a few days earlier, I might have got ya!
Probably not @GrahameRob though! Lol
There was none getting @GrahameRob without a lot more snow here @andy_bee_1 I mean, who was going to get both snow ploughs and grifters in action . Brilliant and well deserved @GrahameRob and to you @andy_bee_1 Such dedication to the GADC competition to book a winter holiday in the snow
