That’s a fair point. Do you have a spare horse @ResilienceUAV or is that you on the bench for the moment?

Hi Simon @Slim thanks for your entries and welcome to the competition. I’m afraid your first entry we can’t allow the 12 arches bonus point as the item asked for is Viaduct OR Aquaduct not a combination of both.

We will accept the Aquaduct with Bonus point for Vessel crossing and Bonus point for adding to DroneScene.
So with this in mind we have added 3 points for this entry and 4 points for your Castle entry giving you a total 7 points on the scoreboard :+1:t2:

That’s a real shame. Hopefully you’ll be back next year with a bigger, badder drone. If you can take one positive out of the situation then it’s an excuse for an upgrade… :wink:

A bit slow to get involved but thankfully this competition has given me the kick up the backside to get out with drone and add my first dronescene locations :crossed_fingers:
First entry is railway viaduct in Stroud. Total of 22 arch spans but some bricked for warehousing and some obscured by trees.
Claiming bonus points for adding to dronescene and more than 12 arches.

Second this. Also encourages me to shoot a wider variety of subjects. I didn’t realise until I started this challenge how much I tend to shoot the same sort of thing each time.

I kinda agree with your decision, but thought I’d give it a go anyway! :grinning: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:
