Over an active quarry by any chance?
Such places were hard enough looking for a drag line excavator. But at least you could try that out of hours.
Not looking forward to trying to record a conveyor belt running and not upset workers etc.

And don’t get too close to that conveyor belt!!! If it’s powered/controlled by a VSD the noise coming off them can play havoc with your toy.
But, as your pic should obviously be from a drone, ie at height, there wont be any issues. Will there

I have a mini2 and 3 batteries you can have a shot of? Pay the postage both ways and supply your own phone/tablet. All I ask is that it comes back in the same condition you received it.

Item 4. A bridge
One bonus point for each item shown underneath the bridge in your picture:
- Road - a lane or more in opposite directions
- Railway - standard gauge
- River - marked as such on Google Maps or Ordnance Survey (proof required)
I claim all 4 points, please:
The Humber Bridge
Road (A53) under
Railway line under
Humber river under
And Google Maps showing all four:
And as I’m paranoid about rules sticlerism, here’s an OS map showing the word “river”

Some of the lads were a bit sniffy about the Sans font used to spell out “River Humber” but I eventually managed to calm them down.

That’s a very kind offer. However having managed to avoid crashing my own Mini 2 whilst I had it, I feel like undertaking the challenge with someone else’s kit would be tempting fate in the extreme! 
I will remain an interested observer I think.
Be very careful. Keep indoors with the curtains closed.
I’ve heard that the Challenges Committee’s press gangs are scouring the streets grabbing any suitable candidates for the judges panel…

And the second one from me today. Sorry they aren’t all in a neat row.
(I wonder what a lost asset it is to the Royal Mail to have all those red vans sitting idle for half of each day …)

Quick question re No5 challenge, do the CC consider a war memorial a “statue” ?
Our immediate reaction was “No” but we checked the definition with the Cambridge dictionary online:
Meaning of statue in English
statue
noun
uk/ˈstætʃ.uː/ us/ˈstætʃ.uː/
an object made from a hard material, especially stone or metal, to look like a person or animal:
They planned to put up/erect a statue of the president.From https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/statue
So, as we intended, the statue has to be of a person, like Admiral Nelson on his column, or of an animal, like the lions at the base. Or both together.
War memorial, noif it is a simple monument, no if it has figures on it in bas-relief panels but yes if it happens to be a three-dimensional animal or person.
