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

Nahhh … I have my ‘money shot’ all planned now!

This is my entry for:
10. A Truck mounted Concrete pump✅️

  • Erect and in use✅️ (after they asked me what I was doing and I placated them with my response, I asked if it was raised and pumping and they said yes!)
  • Predominately red❌️
  • A “Readymix” type rotating drum truck loading the concrete pump✅️

Shame about the colour!
3 points please :pray:

Colin, unfortunately we dont appear to have a truck mounted concrete pump in your photo so we are unable to accept your entry. Heres a few examples of what we are looking for



The good news is you are free to submit another photo for this subject if you manage to find one :slightly_smiling_face:

Is this any help?

Rats! There was one of them there, tucked up behind fence boarding. Went back to see it trundling off down the road :sob: Oh well, at least I know what your after now!

A word to the wise - read the subject list carefully and be sure you understand what we are looking for before you set out. This team of frankly over-lenient judges finishes their four days rotation tomorrow; the replacements’ whispered nickname in the bunker is “The bloody awkward squad …”

17. A Quarry, sand or gravel pit

  • Still in use for original purpose :white_check_mark:
  • Dragline excavator :white_check_mark:
  • Drone Scene entry :white_check_mark:

The south of the site is still used to some extent as a quarry, with the north as a processing plant for their other quarries as well.

Taken today with my AIr 2 as the wind was up a bit and it was raining.

4 points requested.

Hi Ian, unfortunately we cant allow the DroneScene bonus for your ‘A Quarry, sand or gravel pit’ entry. There is already a DS marker added for the same subject just over 200m from your marker.

3 points awarded :+1:t2:

Had it shown up when adding I would have withdrawn - oh well.

You’re a long way from home for that one! Looks like they still use that dragline excavator as its moved!

Was up north.

I had another one, but your entry (indeed any entry) doesn’t show up when you go to add a location.

Would avoid duplicates if it did.

My bad for not checking the map as browsing.

Gotta love the whole good cop / bad cop vibe the @Committee have got going there :grin:

Sorry, was hastily typed. Making grovelling apologetic exit. :roll_eyes:

Frustrating :joy:

Yes, I’ve done it too. I’m also wondering who the ‘over-lenient judges’ are that everyone’s talking about, sounds like another one of those urban myths to me. :face_with_peeking_eye:

We would advise all competitors that if you intend on claiming a DroneScene bonus for any subject, that you check the DroneScene map before travelling any kind of distance to acquire an image/video :slightly_smiling_face:
