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

Far be it for us to slander such a fine body of people such as your local constabulary but it does look as though they are taking the family for a Sunday afternoon jolly on the oggin :sunglasses:

Four points!

Damn those pesky car drivers!!! Could get one on either side, but not closest to the barrier. Two on both sides, two on one side or the other but not what is required, so 3 points claimed please chaps

Well I thought I had my RIB in the bag today but on closer inspection both of them have only one motor, one has only 3 people, and one is orange and not in the best combination for points. New location tomorrow though :slight_smile:
If that doesnt work then I’ll have to submit what I have for a measly 2 points!!! :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

I’ve a couple of 1 pointers banked, but hoping the opportunity arises to add the bonuses to turn them into more. So far no luck. I’ve been out on the hunt a couple of times including today, but so far nothing. Some :shamrock: :magnet: needed.

Well done. :clap: :clap:

“We haven’t got a bleedin’ side-tank engine on this railway,” snarled Jim. “Why don’t you piss off and try the Bluebell Line.”

So who has found a side-tank, clock tower or sailing vessel? Click the Pic™ to see the LEADERBOARD

I’m cursing myself as to why I didn’t take a picture of a static sailing boat while in wales. Now I’m back in land locked midlands I’m cursing myself.

Have a trip to London on the cusp of the comp ending which may save my blushes in the hunt. Weather and train strikes permitting. Otherwise that’s one I definitely ain’t getting now unless plan some extravagant day trip one weekend before end of comp! :joy::man_shrugging::man_facepalming:

Clackmannan Tower, Clackmannan - Mini 3 Pro - shot 13/08/22 @ 17:54.
According to Google Earth the nearest structure or building is 164.59m.
I claim 3 points please?

Thanks John.

We measure from nearest point of a building to nearest point of the closest structure. Otherwise we would get embroiled in arguments about what is the centre of a building, especially if it were irregular and isolation distances were in doubt.

@group-challenges - information for others looking at isolated towers

Anyway, applying our criteria and not going to 5 significant figures on the measurement we make it 157 metres.

3 points awarded :slight_smile:

As a current Tesco worker i feel i have to complain that DG nicked my trainLOL.

Just made it! :grin:

In this competition size does matter :smirk:

I’m fed up of looking for red umbrellas … had purple, cream, blue, green, none etc. Run out of waterside pubs in easy distance that don’t already have drone scene entries.

“Can you see what that is, Jenkins”

“Not sure sir, but it looks like it might be a sailing vessel with a cabin. Shall I mark him down for two points?”

  • At least one person sitting in a deck or camping chair
  • At least one person wearing a red top

Your man doesn’t exactly stick out does he, for all that he is wearing red?

Do you have anything of him taken close up to determine what exactly he is sitting on?
