The Great Big GADC 5th Birthday and Treasure Hunt Challenge!

Much as we would like to, Paul there doesn’t seem to be a great deal of organised five-a-sidery taking place. It looks like five against the goalie on the left hand pitch, a kickabout between seven or eight on the right and either a serious philosophical debate or a card school in the centre.

So just the one, Mrs. Wembley.

It is located on Prospect Road, Stafford. For those in the Stafford area, Coton Fields is the ideal local allotments for you to grow your very own fresh produce, organically of course!
The allotments was established in 1206 when King John gave the Royal Charter to his ‘Burgesses of Stafford’. Ever since, the area has been used by the Burgesses to feed their families. Nowadays, whether a Burgess or not, all are welcome at Coton Fields to do just that! The plots cover over 22 Acres and I parked my car in the street adjacent to the public path that runs through its centre.

I counted 4 points please. I also added a drone scene pin as well by mistake!

You went there to sit in the middle of an allotment with a red top on for this competition. Love it! :star_struck:

@notveryprettyboy Quite enjoyed it Karl. Got chatting with the some of the plot holders who had obviously spent many years tending their veg plots…kissed by the golden rays from an unfettered sun judging from their hardened charismatic complexions.:face_with_hand_over_mouth: They thought I was barmy… probably not far from the truth. :rofl:

Taken with the Mini 2, 28/07/22 around 11.15am at Bangor Marina

Travelling down the A66 towards Brough and see lots of brown military vehicles, staggered formation heading toward scotch corner. Now found somewhere to park up and nothing :man_facepalming:t2:

Currently sitting by a level crossing… :joy: :joy:

The three white Bomb Squad vans passed me on their way to a ‘shout’ on Monday. I’m not convinced they’d have appreciated me taking their photo, by drone or otherwise. We still have a few naughty lads running around placing devices, a remnant of ‘The Troubles’, so taking photos of anything military or police is a bit of a no-no here. :frowning_face:

I can imagine, I waited for 20 minutes and nothing but green land rovers and trucks.

So far I have had an 8 axel crane, 5 canoeists, yellow tank and a guy dressed as Father Christmas carrying a deckchair using the crossing.

But nought else :joy:
