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

I’ve found ONE so far, in the entity of Devon and Cornwall that is Spire + FRZ (excluding Devonport, or like a 6km sight-line), going to call the reverend tomorrow to get TOAL permission then got to try to convince redacted ATC as it’s preeeety close to the runway

You may be pleasantly surprised, ATC are usually happy to help

Is there a cut-off date from when the list will no longer be changed?

There is life north of Watford :wink:

Thanks for your query. This was a clarification of a bonus point rather than a change.
Also in answer to your question

If anyone doesn’t know … the ERYC publish a public rights of way map … they may not realise, but they have also given everyone access to the OS base map for the rest of the country.

First one from me…

  1. A Static Caravan Site
    • 24 or more mobile homes
    • All pitches occupied
    • 5 or more mobile homes with green roofs.

West Barr Holiday Park
Port William · Newton Stewart · Wigtownshire · DG8 9QS
West Barr Holiday Park, Galloway

Taken this morning at 07:53 using the DJI Mini 2
I am claiming 3 points
A static caravan site
24 or more mobile homes
5 or more caravans with green roofs

Could have gone for the fully occupied point with the fact that the majority of the site is occupied by a coach holiday from Sheffield, who had gone out for a day trip to Portpatrick, but it sounded more feasible in my head than when I typed it out :grin:

Submission accepted for 3 points :+1:

@Challenges_Committee can i confirm what county I am officially in as per the members map, so I can plan accordingly for subject 8.

Hi Ade.
I can confirm that your home county is Warwickshire.

Can you please clarify the meaning of 'next county". If the next county has to be contiguous to my home county to gain a bonus point for AONB - then it is not possible for myself and I’m sure for others too.

Could this challenge be amended to –

“A Landscape not in the county in which I live” - this would allow all to compete.

Many thanks.

@group-challenges

How disappointing that Wales, which has some marvellous landscape, only has 4% of its land claimed as AONB compared to 25% for England. We have looked at the maps and yes, you are right. We will make your suggested amendment

8. A Landscape not in the county in which I live

  • An area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) or NSA (Scotland)
  • A 360 degree panorama (hosted on Kuula)
  • Drone Scene entry
  • A screenshot of your existing or newly added Members’ Map entry

A steam train that looks like there are big boxes next to the boiler above the wheels.
