Disagreement between neighbours in which orientation panels should be mounted

Yup - which restricted where I could take the pic from to show the ones on opposite sides

Similar thing when “my” red car was parked on t’other side of houses from panels

We at ChallCom would like to make an announcement.

@TallTakes Been up that on a wet and cold miserable day Paul. I had a cold and dropped my full flask of tea and its cup in the mud on the top whilst having some soggy lunch! Happy times! :rofl:

Hi @coastie welcome to the challenge! Can you confirm when you took the image and with what drone as per the rules for an entry when you get a chance.

Once we have the information your points will be added to the Leaderboard

Entry 16 A Hillfort - as shown on the definitive Oxford University Hillforts Map

Ingleborough - One of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks

Along the northern and eastern edges of the plateau are the tumbled remains of a wall, once believed to have been a Roman military camp but now known to be an Iron Age hill fort. For the view, which is far-reaching and superb, see here. The hill fort, which covers 15 acres (61,000 m2) and of which the defensive wall can still be seen although much robbed for stone, contains the remains of several hut circles. It is now thought that this was in fact Celtic, built by the Brigantes, the largest amalgamation of tribes in Iron Age Britain. The fort was known to the Romans as the Kings Fort. It may be that this was a base for Venutius after his ‘divorce’ from Cartimandua, the Brigantes Queen who was a supporter of the Roman invaders, unlike Venutius who led several rebellions. What we do know is that this fort was used all year, which was unusual for such a location, but at the time of the Romans the climate was much milder, the Romans for example cultivating grapes in Newcastle.
