The Great Big GADC 6th Birthday and Treasure Hunt Challenge!

By the A91 at Burnside in Fife - Mini 3 Pro - 30/08/2023 - 20:27

Plus a rather dodgy timelapse - I decided to change my exposure and move the drone during it as I was too close to start with :man_facepalming: then one of the tractor drivers decided to go home for his tea in the middle of it.

Claiming 3 points please plus an additional 2 if the colours are correct (typical I had to find twin tractors in the same colour lol)

The castle was “nearly destroyed”[3] by Prince Edward in 1264 after the rebellion of Robert de Ferrers, 6th Earl of Derby.

Taking their time in rebuilding it aren’t they? Must be on piecework :slight_smile:

4 points

Indeed, not your best work on the hyperlapse :slight_smile: But 3 points nonetheless.

And three points for the tenderless steam loco.

One point for the tower crane. Not the nicest weather for flying by the look of it …

Barrie, we have already awarded one point for your previous picture of an excavator. This one is far closer and more distinct but we cannot award points twice for the same subject. Thank you for the resubmission though :slight_smile:

Oh bother - thanks for the reminder - sorry.


Why was the extra point not added to the TOWER CRANE with its suspended load?

Just to see if you were awake, Barrie :sunglasses:

Three points in total - for now?

Useless bit of information but this was the 1,300th entry in the 6 years of the competition.

You should have come to the meet up on Monday there were Jolly Roger Pirate biscuits left over so we took them to the meet up and shared them when @BadManners birthday cake ran out :wink:
