Please can you clarify on 17 and 21 what defines commercial to make it a valid entry?
17 - can a narrow gauge railway be classed as commercial if it carries tourists/is a tourist attraction?
21 - Wind Powered…boats or wind turbines? Again please specify commercial.
I think these have been clarified.
The narrow gauge railway is considered commercial if it takes fee paying passengers as per this post:
And wind powered as per this one:
- Viaduct
Arnos Park Viaduct, Piccadilly Line, Enfield.
With Bonuses for
Having a vehicle on it.
14 or more arches.

- Narrow Gauge Railway
Volk’s Electric Railway, Brighton
When I planned this one in my head it was going to look so much more scenic! I also even thought about just holding my drone over the railings of marine parade above it to take the pictures instead of sending it up!
I would like to also claim the following bonuses:
It has a train on it.
It’s commercial. https://volksrailway.org.uk/

There seems to be a trend, especially among Mini owners, to create images that look just like that. Which kind of misses the point of having a drone …
We are very glad that you did take the trouble to put the drone up, it saves us the trouble of reminding you and the other contestants that:
Entries must have been obviously taken from a drone in flight
4 points requested, 4 points granted. Thanks Daniel!

Well this must be some kind of record. I’ve got two flights planned for this Treasure Hunt in my nearest FRZ (possibly more to follow); the first one was approved within 3 minutes of me submitting it electronically; and the second one within 5 minutes of submission. Must be a quiet day at the airport!

Welcome to the Challenge John and thanks for your entry.
Unfortunately we must disallow one bonus point as the image does not show a truck being loaded. It may seem harsh but, although we might assume that the yellow excavator is digging out a trench and putting the soil in the nearby articulated 6x6 dump truck, we cannot see the truck being loaded. Being a still picture rather than a video it might equally be claimed that the truck is simply driving past the excavator.
Sorry.
But two points to start
And a further 4 points for Waltham Windmill - although we did have to look it up on the net to find if it was still a working, commercial mill

Excellent!
Someone HAS read the rules!
Well done, Steve, and thank you for spotting the deliberate mistake - it should, of course read Thursday, September 30th.
Interesting that we are on day 6 of the competition before the error has been pointed out
