GADC 4th Birthday Challenge

Everything goes nice an slowly over the Crimple Viaduct thanks to the sharp bend at the Southern end.

We have said it before - this challenge is more about research and planning than photographic or artistic skill. As long as the subject is captured in conformity with the rules points are added.

But then you get shots that not only get the points but are works of art in themselves …

Great shot Naz!

Our two miscreants are back from adventures in Germany and a short spell of incarceration respectively. They have rejoined their colleagues in the happy and carefree atmosphere of the scrutineering office.

I suspect that Royal Mail might be the last entry from me.

Is it the trolley? :joy:

You’ve got time to research and ask around. Give it a whirl :slight_smile:

Is it the trolley? :joy:

No., just slightly more animate than that.

It certainly is!! :clap: :clap:

Item 5: A Dronie/Selfie
Diana Dors Monument, Shaw Ridge Leisure Complex, Swindon
Taken on what’s left of my Mini 2 this morning

I would like to claim 4 points in total please:

  • Bonus point for a Monument being in the background :white_check_mark:
  • Bonus point if holding a Happy Birthday Grey Arrows Poster :white_check_mark:
  • Bonus point for adding to Drone Scene and posting a link with your entry :white_check_mark:

Unfortunately, the “Dronie” shot ended with the Mini 2 landing at the top of a tree :woozy_face:

It was stuck and all I had was 6 bottles of car wax, cleaner and polish in the boot of my car. Below the tree was jungle of chest height brambles and bracken. About 10 minutes and 4 bottles of Autoglym later, the Mini 2 fell to into the bush below. One of the hinges on the battery compartment has snapped, but other than that, it is fine.

I didn’t realise at the time, but I also lost my vape pipe in the bush too :man_facepalming:

Gonna super glue it now. As I have a Cricket match to get to :sweat_smile:

There’s a story there :rofl:

Indeeed! See post above :rofl:

Ah this is why I didn’t do a dronie was way too windy and some trees around.

Hope it’s OK. Do you have care refresh?

My drone almost ended up the same way. I thought it would clear the bush behind it easy but it ended up a close shave. Glad you were able to rescue it with not too much damage. Bloody automation. Should have just controlled it myself.
