The cryptic colour applies to the truck cab.

Ahh so we’re looking for a sky blue pink truck cab

20. A single occupancy dwelling (house) with roof-mounted solar panels

• Bonus point 6 or more separate panels visible on the roof.
• Bonus point 3 adjacent homes each with 6 or more visible separate solar panels.
• Bonus point 3 adjacent homes each with solar panels, one home with a red car in the driveway or on the road immediately adjacent to the property.

Afternoon @Challenges_Committee, if the car is parked at the front of the house / houses with the solar panels & the car is red, but parked opposite on the other kerb, does this not count ?

No, in your example the car would be immediately adjacent to the house on the opposite side to your target

Thank-you for your reply

@Kirky

Thank-you for your reply

Or ask the owner if they will kindly park it on the other side.

@DroneGeek

kindly park it on the other side.

Or @Kirky can kindly park his van on the wrong side and then red car has to do the switcheroo to the correct side.

Here goes, first timer. Any number of rules broken but… I claim 4+1 points for Scarborough Castle with bonuses for 1) built pre 1350, 2) the white English Heritage flag being a bit limp and 3) with its own wiki entry Scarborough Castle - Wikipedia

Additionally and controversially, at the far end of the headland is the Roman signal station built on what a Hillfort. There is reference to it on wiki but i cant claim any bonuses on this one. List of hillforts in England - Wikipedia

Both in same shot so went for it with my Mini SE August 16th, Scarborough.

15. A Castle

Bonus point if it was built pre-1350.
Bonus point for flying a flag.
Bonus point for having an entry in Wikipedia.

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

That’ll cost, they don’t do nothing for nothing

[Kirky]

@BadManners

do the switcheroo

That’ll cause problems at my door knowing the said location

It’s getting that bad now, when I put the drone up in the air & satellite locks, The voice no longer says your home point has been updated she starts laughing at me instead love it,
I thought we were going green in the uk, so plenty of new builds etc I’ve been to, none have solar panels

[DroneGeek]

@Kirky

That’ll cost, they don’t do nothing for nothing

couple of mates - bump it over, then bump it back

[Kirky]

There’s a thought !
Probably one of the easiest subjects apart from the telephone box,

One resident either :
A decides not to join the neighbours with solar panels. Or
B Nope Nope Nope not buying a red car

[Challenges_Committee]

Hi Hamish @hharron and welcome to the 6th Birthday Challenge! Thats a nice attempt at an entry but unfortunately we must point out from the rules

@Challenges_Committee

Only one image is allowed per post unless stated otherwise, the image may only illustrate one objective. Two or more images captured from the same location will be disallowed.

If you can tell us which single subject you would like this entry to represent we can then judge it for you.

[hharron]

Hi, the castle then. I think the Hillfort was pushing it. Do you need more than that? Hamish

[Challenges_Committee]

@hharron 4 points added for your Castle entry. Welcome to the challenge!

[hharron]

Another go, this time I think I’m allowed 2 subjects in a day. This time Public Art taken on Scarborough North Bay with my Mini SE on 16th August. It’s a sculpture of an ex soldier who took part in the liberation of Belsen. Here he is looking Eastwards over the sea.

I’m claiming 2 points, 1 for the Public Art and another for the wiki link. At 6.30am, only a handful of passers by.

Freddie Gilroy and the Belsen Stragglers

5. Public Art - be it a large sculpture, or street painting, it must be a work of art that can be seen by the casual passerby i.e. not in a gallery. Witty or Banksy-style graffiti is acceptable, plain old tags are not

Bonus point for a Wikipedia link.

[Challenges_Committee]

Nice story behind the sculpture! And you are right Hamish, a maximum of two entries per day.
2 points awarded

4. A Graveyard

• Bonus point if there is a mausoleum.
• Bonus point if there is someone famous (which most people would have heard of, not just a local celebrity) buried in the graveyard (wikilink or photo of the gravestone or similar for proof).

Bispham Parish Church ( aka All Hallows Church ) graveyard, final resting place of Violet Carson who played Ena Sharples in Coronation Street for 20 years ( cited in the wiki article )

Bispham Parish Church

No mausoleum that I can find, so I claim 2 points

Two points added to your score, Martin.
