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

Well, on my way home today Indecided to visit Ruthven Barracks. On the way there I passed a wooden bridge and almost creamed my pants, got the drone out, took photaes but I noticed some metal and passed the results to GADC for inspection…computer says no. So while at home I decided to do a little research, who’d have known that while I was at work in Inverness I was within reach of so many wooden railway and road bridges. Hopefuly back there soon, very soon!!!

Good first entry Ray! Four points. they will show on the next leaderboard update, around 19:00 tomorrow.

A little more detail in your next Drone Scene entry please - where to park, where to take off and land, any hazards - any information that will help someone unfamiliar with the site to fly there without any hassles :slight_smile:

Will do.

I’m happy enough with the single point, thanks. The other sad thing is that there are exactly 24 actual sheds/greenhouses of the permanent type in the photo but the criterion for the point is ‘more than’. :laughing:

A Quarry, sand or gravel pit - Overby Sand Quarry

3 points?

Thanks Gavin, 3 points.

@DroneGeek got a BOGF that should have an extra point for that😂

Hi Ian,

Unfortunately your video doesn’t show the whole train, as it cuts off rather abruptly after 19 seconds.

The item is for A freight train not Part of a freight train. It’s impossible for us to judge whether the train is made up of all of the same type of wagon if we’re unable to see the full extent of the train.

If you have footage of the entire train within a 30 second video clip, we would invite you to resubmit.

7. A Freight train (Standard gauge rail) Photo or a video of less than 30 seconds (hyperlapse allowed)

  • More than 20 wagons :white_check_mark:
  • All the same type of wagon (except locomotive(s) and guards van - if any) :white_check_mark:
  • All the same logo on wagons or containers (except locomotive(s) and guard’s van - if any) :white_check_mark:

Tesco Freight Train - Every point counts :joy:

When you are counting the wagons and hoping there are at least 21!

Taken today with my Mini 3 Pro in Bristol

Too miserly to invest in air-conditioning, management compromised with a temporary relaxation of the staff dress code
