I suspect 2 points for this will be common.

Not taken it myself, but the best I saw was the same.

Good race.

(What we saw of it :frowning: )

Yeah, been working out when I’m back on home soil, how many days are left to post and what I might still be able to find. Needed to offload some of the potentials I had sitting on standby.

Talking of which, it’s a shame about the ‘must be taken in the UK’ rule… they really seem to like their yellow(ish) umbrellas here. :confounded:

Indeed. Thought it would be fairly easy given the requirement for new builds here to have solar… but almost all of them only have two panels.

Now, if we’ve got two members who are neighbours in semis with solar and they happen to have caravans and pools… :thinking::rofl:

So it’s wet in Bergen?

Cloudy bright in Zandvoort although windy - at least the little we saw of it :slight_smile:

Bergen is living up to its reputation as the rainiest city on the continent. But, as they say:

Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær. :wink:

And, as we say through bitter experience, waterproof clothing is never proof against water it just takes longer to leak.

Question for all our wonderful judges regarding

19. A heritage railway. Any gauge from minimum (15 inch) upward

Would this qualify as “two trains in motion in the same picture, one steam-hauled, the other any motive power” It was taken at the Boness Heritage railway but was only timetabled as a steam locomotive
It was too windy yesterday to put the drone up but I will go back another day to an official image to enter.

Sadly being allergic to animals, I have to give them a wide berth.

We think 3 points because we are fed up with playing the bonus item version of “Where’s Waldo”

Is it clearly visible? No.

3 points

1 point.

No alternative sites then?

It certainly would qualify if the subject was two locomotives in motion, one steam powered …

But the diesel in your video is hauling a single train composed of several passenger coaches and a steam locomotive. The operative word in the subject is train, not locomotive
