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

The five or so that are overtly active.

How many are sitting out the heatwave working away in their air-conditioned homes or offices scheming, researching, planning and, it must be said, sniggering at the loose-lips of keen new contestants?

Quite a boring day here in the Chall Com scorers’ bunker. We have had to make our own fun. At least the moisture staining the bare concrete walls keeps us cooler than the poor mad dogs and contestants who have gone out in the midday sun. 3 entrants on the leaderboard now …

I have a white car … anyone else got a red bus or a blue cabbed artic?

If so … I have a plan.

I’m calling upon @McSteamy2010 for the artic :joy:

Although from memory most of his company are green!

We know where there is a red bus that’s going spare.

And rumour has it that the owner isn’t going to be employed much longer - so he would appreciate the cash

And I’m off…

Item 22 - A static caravan site

I’m claiming all three bonus points:

  • 24 or more mobile homes
  • All pitches occupied (there’s even a row of spares up the top there for you)
  • 5 or more mobile homes with green roofs.

This is Sandylands Holiday Park in Saltcoats, North Ayrshire.
Taken today (18/7) at 16:53 with the Mavic 3 Pro.

First entry from me, nicely able to do walking from my front door, and checking the train actually departed! :wink:

Item 7. A Freight train (Standard gauge rail) Photo or a video of less than 30 seconds (hyperlapse allowed) HD version still processing at time of post.

Claiming bonus points for

  • More than 20 wagons
  • All the same type of wagon (except locomotive(s) and guards van - if any)

Some were missing the VTR logo though. :frowning: so not claiming for:

  • All the same logo on wagons or containers (except locomotive(s) and guard’s van - if any)

4 points headed your way. And another static caravan site wondering about the strange sudden influx of drones…

Os that water they are carrying ?

How are you ‘verifying’ all pitches are occupied? It seems a dubious bonus point that everyone will just claim regardless.

Oil, well actually probably empty at that point. The oil refinery is off the right, it stops just past where the video ended and reverses back down. Would have been a rather chaotic hyperlapse to get all that in though.

I took it to mean “there’s a caravan on every pitch in the pitcure”?

Possibly, but they are ‘static’ caravan sites.

Static caravan sites have static pitches. A paved area, water, sewage and power hookups. Fairly regular spacing. A missing static van / mobile home stands out. So yes, all pitches occupied by a static caravan

Doh! I’m an idiot, I thought it meant people in them. :roll_eyes:
So as can be seen in my entry there are vacant pitches with no vans. Hence not getting that point.

That water looks inviting!

Just for completeness could you add the subject number in with the entry as per the rules?

We have a large spreadsheet that is growing larger by the day. When we are out and about and keeping things up-to-date by phone it is a lot easier to find the subject to be scored by reference number :slight_smile:

:confounded: Doh! Thought I had. Added now :slight_smile:

(and given how close the water is to Hunterston B, I’ll give it a miss :wink: )
