Thanks for your entries @Drumsagard points on the board and off to a great start.
Note on the DS question, you’re absolutely right, we don’t want duplicate DS additions. If you want the DS bonus point for any item you need to find a target that has not already been added to DS :+1:t2:

From the rules:

To earn the point a Drone Scene marker and description must be placed on the map shortly after your flight. The place to which it relates must be at least 1 kilometre measured on the Drone Scene map from any prior entry.

Afraid so Steve :cry:

But I understand that some of the newer guys on the forum are going to give you a run for your money.

I believe that there a couple who joined just now - @McSprite and @MacStreamy2011 who may also give you a hard time …

KartTrak Cromer in Norfolk. Taken at 11.30am on 19/08/2021.

I claim two bonus points:

I haven’t claimed the bonus point for go-karts being technically open-wheeled as I wasn’t sure that was in the spirit of what was being asked for. Happy to accept the extra point if anyone wants to dispute this though!

Can I just get a clarification on the above? Has it deliberately been written in such a way that it could equally apply to a sailing vessel or a windmill/pump/turbine?

I only ask because I immediately thought ship (you can take the boy out the navy…) but when I showed my wife her mind immediately went to the latter.

Thought I’d just check before trying to send the Mini 2 haring round the Norfolk coast after yachts unnecessarily… :wink:

Nice. Just a shame you can’t claim 2 for 1 with getting a commuter train as well… :wink:

Thanks for asking Andy.

We cannot reveal why we have chosen to word items in certain ways. We can only advise you that we require an image of something that is powered by the wind.

A kite, for instance, fulfils the above requirement

But, to gain all the bonuses it should have four or more sails. be operated in the expectation of making a profit and your TOAL point should be unique and recorded on Drone Scene.

We leave the interpretation of the above up to you. In case of confusion we refer you to post number 73
