Yeah, got back from Cornwall Monday afternoon and then was on the road at 5.30 for a 100 mile outing today.
We were hoping to get a few more but were stuck for ideas and didn’t want to push the boundaries too far on others.

When I was there, I bottled it as I got a load of pings about being too close to Glasgow Prestwick airport… A quick moody up & down… But the more I look at your pic, the more I like it… Sun streaming in is gorgeous… Sauron’s new home

First Whitelee, now Wallace! It’s starting to look like I’m stalking you here!
Was very lucky with the sun tonight, that’s for sure.
I was worried about the FRZ for Prestwick too… checked on Drone Assist before I left the house and could see it was close, and wasn’t 100% sure it was okay until I checked again standing there. As I was packing up to head home a small plane buzzed over the top. It certainly didn’t look to be above 500ft.
Haha… never had a stalker before… Hope you’re fit … I’m not from around those parts, just really fortunate to be up that way for a family wedding. Hired a car and with some planning, managed to knock off about 10 entries in 48 hrs . You going to nip down to Caerlaverock Castle to snag #4 (Castle with moat)? Or over to Bute?

Ok, here we go, the solar farm near Duns Tew, North Oxfordshire. It’s only a small one, about 18 acres.
I probably should have gone a bit further back for a more complete photo, but I was a bit worried - if I cast too much of a shadow, Mavis up the road wouldn’t be able to get the kettle on for a cuppa, so I played safe

Lol… How big is your drone
No, it’s a bit in the middle of nowhere, you can see it from the A4260 but it’s not really visible from anywhere.
I know the one you mean though
Entry for #11 - Solar farm (greater than 50 acres). Taken at Landmead Solar Farm on July 18th. Sorry for the quality of the pano - the stitching is crap - probably due to wind. I had better stills but you don’t get to see both sites (which you can on the pano).

Type of installation: Solar on/offshore: on
Solar Panels :180000 Capacity : 45 MW
