No worries at all - Looks like you had some rain.

I am happy to help others, which is why I tend to post earlier rather than hold back.

This is supposed to be a bit of fun.

But if you end up with more points than me, I will send the boys round!

If we were going to be pedantic (and believe us we can be!) we might allow 3 1/2 points but, as the scoresheet only deals in whole numbers we will grudgingly allow you all four.

Why?

River - marked as such on Google Maps or Ordnance Survey (proof required)

We have no idea what that river is called because the proof you supplied doesn’t show the name!

We had to fire up the trusty 386 and look at Google Maps ourselves:

:slight_smile:

Four points!

Ah very sorry for the map I should have looked for another, yes river Avon as you know sorry for not understanding the Google thing,
Thank you

We have just had the police round after a series of complaints from Mrs. Featherstonehaugh-Chomondley about crowds of oiks flying drones around her property and peering in her widows.

Fortunately we were able to show them both your picture and Ian’s so they left satisfied. Not sure but we thought the shorter of the two mumbled something about “Bloody awful pictures, my dog could take better …”

3 points!

Thank you, what a day, must pay the clean air charge @ bath :dash::grimacing::smile:

Edit : just for the record the Google original I have here does say River Avon but because I cropped / zoomed I chopped it off by accident .

Welcome Russ (and Sarah, we hope!)

Not late at all. The Challenge is designed so that people who enter part-way through can still capture all the subjects and be in with a chance of winning

This Challenge doesn’t normally get going for the first week as many people take a while to fully read the subject list and the rules and plan their campaign to maximise efficiency in time and travel.

When we go out will be armed with a list and charged drones.

And memory cards, They are quite useful :slight_smile: And a copy of the subjects and the rules, just to double check that you have got all the bonuses and you are within the rules.

A final top tip. If you intend to take video make sure you press the button … :man_facepalming:

Well it is quite tall, so I suppose there could be some Peregrines nesting in it? They’re birds of prey aint they? :thinking:

If there are we’re sure they would have attacked John’s drone by now, the number of times he has photographed it for Challenges and for RTF :slight_smile:
