But you had fog with sticky-up-things! So, it’s all even!

That was luck Dave as I was on holiday 
I’d love to get a crop circle sometime but it would have to be one that is not well known, I can only imagine how many drones are buzzing that field right now

Getting crop circles is a lot of luck - even those reported are often flattened by the farmers before one can get there. Hell - they are often near me and I’ve visited two flattened ones already this year.
In the end, it’s all equally (un)fair for everyone.

Yeah I know, not saying anything is unfair, I think even if I got lucky with what I have left to find I could only get a max of 10 points so wouldn’t come close, the prizes are not important, it’s the badge as you know 
I might get the odd one in if I find one while out but I’m not going to drive hundreds of miles for them now.

Item 15 - suspension bridge ( only two towers!)
This is Burgate suspension bridge which I believe is the only suspension bridge in Hampshire or Sussex, a quick 90 mile round trip today for this one!!
The hamlet is just to the west of the River Avon, and there is a footbridge over the river at Burgate.[2] The footbridge is a steel suspension bridge made of reused parts of a Bailey bridge, and was erected in 1949-50.[2]

Item 20 - Sandy beach (bonus point for a pier)
I had to wait for low tide for the sandy beach at Southsea to appear around South Parade Pier. Taken early this morning.

This morning I discovered how the competitive side of some members 
can reveal their true colours.
Too late, I found out that I’d been lured to the site of a devious plot.
I was hoodwinked, mugged … nay hornswoggled … by an evil and duplicitous member!
At no time, until it was too late, was I complicit in this devious act of pure superb cunning! In my defence - it was early, and I’d only had one coffee!
But ….
… I was turned into a challenge dronie bonus point!!!
(Now let’s see if he dares to post the image that will bring shame and embarrassment to him and his family! )

Entry for #14 - Sandy Beach with Pier… another 140 mile round trip 
Most of the top of the beach has shingle but even at higher tides, the sand is exposed this time of year (although a lot of it was covered in seaweed and chavs ). Taken this afternoon at Worthing

Very brave… I feel an independent judicial enquiry may be required if one of the competition judges aids and abets a precious bonus point… Followed by a public thrashing with willow branches

Well, I don’t quite remember it like that 
, I seem to remember an open message from
@OzoneVibe “Tomorrow morning is looking possible. Any interest early?”
And no sign of a hand up behind his back, especially as he is flying his drone and waving at the camera 
So absolutely claiming
Yourself
– A dronie
– Bonus point if the Dronie is of two.
And how about an extra point as one helpful club member is wearing GADC merchandise to promote
15% of all merchandise until 4th August

Yup - to which you responded. How about Friday …
Edit: forgot this bit.
… then (for some curious reason) today seemed to be a good idea. Was that the point you thought “I need that dronie with a club member!” LOL.
Either way … it was only a few secs before that pic that “dronie” was thrown into to the ring … by you. That’s when I thought “Ahhaaaaaa! I see what’s going on here!”. 
Great pic! My drone does appear to be doing an “Alien” emergence from my flies, though.

Perfect precision flying

Taken this morning from almost the same spot as my picture of Whitelee Wind Farm. I spotted the fog on the way to work and took a little detour. The carpark had a little circle of clear sky that lasted just long enough to put the drone up and take a single picture of one of the turbine blades sweeping up.
