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

An interesting development in the Borough of Sutton, certainly. But we can’t give you a point for the red car as it is across a road from the nearest dwelling and, by our definition and by previous rulings, it is not adjacent. As there is a car club on the site we suspect that the parking area is communal and not assigned to any one house:

A major success was the introduction of the first car club to England which has subsequently led to major expansion of the car club network in London and other UK cities.

For one three-person BedZED household using an on-site car club car instead of its own vehicle, we estimated total annual savings in transport, water and energy bills at £1,391 a year compared to an average London household with its own car. That’s nearly £4 a day.

So THREE points for your informative image!

Thank you! It was well worth the long round trip just to see the project.

7. A Telehandler - Video only

  • Bonus point if it’s neither red nor yellow.
  • Bonus point if it is in the process of lifting or lowering a load (provide a 10-second minimum video).

Been searching for weeks - every single one around here is yellow!

I was however able to practice my video skills at following a few of the trips :rofl: :rofl:

Today’s excitement was visiting a building site to see a tower crane in action :slight_smile:

14. A Tower Crane - still or video

  • Bonus point for slewing (spinning round) - video only.
  • Bonus point if it has a suspended load completely clear of the ground - video or still.

I did consider posting a package to the Royal mail depot :joy: :joy:

Close but not exactly, it should have been a lot easier than what it was, even secured permission from Farnborough via NATS to fly over a neighbours property on Tuesday only have DHL tell them that they left their parcel in the depot. Still, big shoutout to the team at Farnborough ATC for allowing me to extend the request to today for a DHL replay.
