I literally did 2 weeks ago, I think it was the wind maybe, as the other 2 pics are fine but not quite got everything needed but I can post it if you like, thankyou
Thanks for the offer Rich @Kirky but that won’t be necessary on this occasion as we adjusted our focal point with thicker glasses.
@Stomper your post earned the 3,000th point in the 6 years of the Birthday competition.
80 members have taken part to date, 3008 points and 1104 entries.
If that’s the same company that has a farm shop at Tebay Services and has maintained their standards in the 15 years since I regularly visited whenever working up that way then it’s well worth a visit.
If I could wangle a night in their version of a Travelodge - slightly more expensive but very worth it - I would. Food at the services and the farm shop were great too. It puts our “normal” motorway services to shame …

Agreed, only place I use on the M5
I went there yesterday ( had a cataract op a few months ago) Picked two pair for £69, “Ahh, you have to pay extra for varifocals sir.” Worked out the price to be around £320. Took my prescription home. Ordered two pairs of varifocals off Glasses Direct. Only £102

Hi Philip, welcome to GADC and welcome to the Birthday Challenge.
While the picture certainly fulfils the subject there are four bonus points that could be collected if you find the right scenario of plant being unloaded from a specific type of trailer. Are you still happy to enter this picture for the Challenge which will gain you just the one point?
Thanks for the comments. Yes I was aware of the bonus points available,
but I’ll let it stand with just the one point, thanks. Not sure if/when
I’d be able to find the right scenario and this was kind of by way of an
experiment anyway, both with getting the drone to take a pic (!) and
getting it uploaded correctly.
I’ve just been out to take some on another question which hopefully
should get me a few bonus points.
That’s fine, we have added your name to our scoresheet and you will appear on the leaderboard after the regular nightly upgrade. If you have questions feel free to ask either in here or by private message to @Challenges_Committee.
If you want to be kept up-to-date automatically clichk the hamburger icon at the top right of your screen and click on Groups. Then scroll down to join the Challenges Group (and any other of the groups that appeal!)
