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

Research and planning days. We don’t have the luxury of windows in the Chall Com bunker. The only way to determine the state of the weather is to call in one of the grounds staff and see if it is wet or shivering.

Not too sure that is a side tank engine :wink:

Bobbie isn’t too clued up on locos either …

I was getting grief from two directions today, UAV Forecast was telling me it was too windy to fly, and the seagulls were buzzing the drone, neverthelss mission accomplished.

Faced with a dearth of green-roofed caravans one unscrupulous competitor resorted to desperate measures. But how to fill empty pitches … ?

@group-challenges

It seems that some of you may be overthinking the term “hyperlapse”. It is simply a time-lapse with camera movement.

This thread will explain

I’ve found a wooden bridge but you can’t TOAL from the site, parked on the road about 500 metres away but too damned windy today so another one I’ve got to revisit :man_facepalming:

Although the scheme to create a waterside pub had suffered badly through his over-enthusiasm, Howard’s mates kept schtum, enlivened by the hasty promise of free beer …

The arm is RED

Thank you for that Steve, your input, as always, is welcome.

What do you consider an arm?

With thanks to both a contestant and a bystander for unsolicited information we have still managed to make a decision on John’s concrete pump.

We are aware that we had dropped a bollock by not specifying that pump and truck should be predominantly red. Rather than change the bonus we will accept a pump system that is mainly - predominantly - red and ignore the obvious truck components such as cab and body.

John was kind enough to submit the spec sheet for the particular pump mounted on the truck. Here it is :
m63.pdf (779.6 KB)

It gives dimensions of various components which form the pump system. That system includes the outriggers. We consider the surface area of the yellow outriggers is fairly close to the red components abd therefore the pump is NOT predominantly red.

It was still a great photo.

Jon, you have dropped two points with your picture,

The Challenges Committee are double-hard bastards but consider ourselves strict but fair. We do research our competitors and their pictures. We noticed this in your profile:

Brand new to flying and aerial imagery

We are happy to help with a guide to making 360 degree panoramas and hosting on Kuuala and also with how to add yourself to the GADC members map That will gain you two additional points.

Otherwise if you are content with three points we will happily accept this entry.
