No doubt just thinking aloud haha.
They had a lock key so I’m guessing they had permission too

Right, so after weeks of altitude training and watching reruns of SAS: Who Dares Wins I’ve finally made it to the highest point in Norfolk.
Fellow treasure hunters, stare in wonder at the dizzy heights of Beacon Hill, Norfolk. A whopping 105m above sea level. If the image quality is a bit dubious then blame the fact that the air is a bit thin up here…
I claim 2 bonus points for:
- Taking a 360 pano
- Added to DroneScene
Right, I’m off for a lie down.

Frustrating, but it gets me out of the house and it’s broadening my flying horizons. 
I think the more accurate question is “Who will be the first to post these?”
I sense these categories might be the ones where people have some shots “in the bank” but are holding off in search of max points…

Absolutely loving it. Apart from having made a rod for my own back by already having posted a load of DroneScene entries prior to the challenge (including the most obvious monument for the dronie/selfie task… 
I have managed to get my Silver Pin Seeker badge out of it though, and I’m flying in places that I wouldn’t even have considered a year ago. Done wonders for my flying confidence.

Thanks @kvetner Very close on the 4th carriage. Came into view in the last 2 seconds. 
Points added.
And it’s a second over 30 seconds! 
I’m only joking. Mind you, you know that.
Deducts 1 point. 
By the way, an unexpected side effect of this particular challenge is that I now detest paddleboarders…
Just had my August Timeline Update from Google on places i’ve been, miles I’ve done (driven and walked) and some interesting reading.

Was thinking the same…
I’m thoroughly enjoying it, and because of it I’m flying more frequently now than I did when I got my drone. It’s also helped me to build confidence to fly where there are other people around, and locations which I might have avoided before, so that’s a bonus.

One thing I learned from last years is not to check those things, especially the fuel receipts
