Thanks John.

Shame it’s neither as well-kent or as well-preserved as Hadrian’s Wall.

It sure is. A wall made of turf & wood isn’t going to last long in the Scottish weather, maybe they should have used stone :grinning:

2nd entry for today - 4. Commuter Train - taken today at 19:55 - Mini 2
I claim 3 points, train has 4 or more carriages and is moving. Used a slow shutter speed to show movement in the train. How about an extra point for two trains caught perfectly side by side :wink:

Sorry, another DroneScene query for our illustrious, overworked, and underpaid @Challenges_Committee…

I’ve found subjects for both the below items, but the photos are of two separate Broads with a road running between them.

Question is, can I claim DroneScene bonuses for both items as the photos are of different subjects (I.e. the two separate Broads), or do I need to be content with just getting the bonus for the one I submitted earlier?

@rustybarnet If you are referring too the two locations pictured in your post
Rollesby Broad & Ormesby this will be fine :+1:as its two different location names and subjects.

  1. Cricket Match - Glasgow Accies v Bothwell Saturday 28th Aug 2021 - Mini 2
    I claim 2 points. Added to Drone Scene
    Where can I fly my drone in the UK? - Glasgow Accies Cricket Club - Everything Else in Scotland (dronescene.co.uk)

I did plan to video the match and hopefully catch a batsman out, but got bored of it after 5mins :blush: :joy:

A worry for me I hate cricket :rofl:

I’ve got 10 minutes of a cricket match from the same day. I wasn’t really paying attention and the Mrs was waiting in the car. I’ve watched a tiny amount back and noticed there was another match of some sort going on behind, which increases my chances, but I just haven’t had the enthusiasm to watch it all back yet.

I had a very similar experience trying to capture this item. Much preferred filming the motorsports track :joy:

So I’m curious as we pass the halfway mark, which of these items has been the biggest pain in the backside so far for you guys?

Mine has been the car park by far. Forever finding 3 red or blue cars, never 4. And I think I’m getting a reputation around Norwich for slowly creeping through the park and ride sites looking at all the vehicles… :joy:
