Me, after teeing up my annual âBut you canât find that anywhere in Scotlandâ gripe and then finding nothing to grip about.
^^^ same picture is of me, who will be overseas for most of this yearâs challenge. Good luck to the rest of you!
If thereâs one thing that these questions confirm to me, is that the duck billed platypus was indeed designed by a committee. 
Good luck to the entrants this year ⌠
I have printed the list to have a good look at it and see what I can achieve, that is if the weather brightens up. Good luck everyone and have fun 
Now where is my nearest castleâŚ
Would have been 3 years on the trot of 4ths if I was going for it, alas, just donât see it happening this year! 
Ade, we enjoy having you in the competition. Even if this year you canât commit fully to the challenge because of everything else intruding on your life we will be pleased to see any pictures you can find time for. Donât be a stranger !

A committee should always consist off an odd number of people.
And three is too many.

Thought might as well, hopefully it will encourage some of the new members to take part.
I will not be aiming for any placing this year and will merely post a few images as the weeks go by.
Your phone box is approved. 
Two text book entries with clear pictures of the subject, name and number of the particular subject claimed, which bonuses claimed, make and model of aircraft etc.
Showing anyone who has yet to wade through the mass/mess of rules how to do it!

@Challenges_Committee Could you clarify number 23 please? Do you mean 120m vertically above ground?
Ximi, I can see what youâre getting at. You could take off from the top of a cliff, point the camera down, fly forward 30m and literally be 200+m above whateverâs below
