Love it! :slight_smile:

Will admit, was a bit gutted reading that one on the list… there was a huge (easily 50ft) in the garden next door when we moved in here. It blew down in a gale about 3 years ago.

I had this same issue with the Gypsy challenge! We’ve had one down the road complete with horses since beginning of lockdown! They moved on about two weeks ago :sob:

I think this sums up my reaction researching how far I’d have to drive for most of these… :wink:

Joe - this is said by someone (many people) every challenge … and then they seem to find them and do well.

This even happened in the first reply in the first ever Treasure Hunt.
… ironically, that person won the challenge. :eyes:

Oh, I didn’t say I wouldn’t drive the length of the country to get a picture of 15 beach huts… :wink:

I never drove out of my county in the end.

There ARE beach-huts in Scotland too. :+1:

There’s even some for sale at similarly ridiculous prices to down here!

(Well - not quite so ridiculous as some down here. £330k )

Yup - aware of that.
And (whilst nothing to do with this challenge :thinking: ) some excellent strawberry growing because of the long daylight. #WhodaThunk
