Challenge 2019 - Discussion Thread

[BabyD]

[mention]Hoggs[/mention] or Admin, can you raise the upper limit on the challenge score as I've reached the limit

At the half way point now....

[Hoggs]

[mention]Stu[/mention] can you be a love and fix this

[Stu]

odd!

I thought I had put it higher!!

Anyway all sorted now

[BabyD]

[mention]mike_smith[/mention] you must have the wrong place as the only tag anywhere near Salisbury is Rockbourne Roman Villa Museum

[BabyD]

Somebody told me that there was an updated Score board, I replied April fools was months ago

[BabyD]

[mention]Hoggs[/mention] The Riverside bar & Eatery by Hereford is inside a barrier controlled caravan park & they won’t let me onto the park so a photo of the caravan park entrance will have to do

Plus.....Kilvert Museum no longer exists, its now a private house, so a photo of the building is all we can do

[BabyD]

[mention]mike_smith[/mention] good to see your raking up the points nicely

[Grumpy Old Git]

Hopley's Cafe is a bit difficult to find. I rode past it twice before I spotted the small sign (only visible when going north) - And it was closed!

The entrance is opposite a rather large gated building called 'The Hall' which will be on your left as you go south through the village.

Parking is also not easy (for a heavy bike) - decided to park on the main road and walk back to the sign for the photo.

Currently too hot to ride far so, next tags at the weekend.

[mention]Hoggs[/mention] just wondering I know I have not scored for a whilst but I notice I have dropped off the score board?

Hoping it's mistake...

Hi [mention]BabyD[/mention] , still got to do Sammy Millers, been over there 5 times this year, even done 2 Autojumbles there but never on the bike

As for Dealerships i keep forgetting them, might try and do them now, now that i finished getting the RBR photo's.

Did you do the National Road Rally?

Hi [mention]onesea[/mention] will have to try to get over there, are you over there on Tuesday's at the moment.

[onesea]

Hi @onesea will have to try to get over there, are you over there on Tuesday's at the moment.

I dont get there as much as I used to it depends on my shift pattern, they carry on meeting all year. Plus when I get the chance to be out I am tend to ride further than a handful of miles down the road. If you PM Me your going I will try and get there, although if I recall you know a couple of the regulars.

Not even certain I have tagged it this year!

No rush I have not got a tag for months...

As long as the release fee was not him being a moderator and trust after you resolved the situation Six30 is now in a place of his nightmares.

Although the places of Six30's nightmares is beyond my comprehension

Sorry for the late reply, no I didn’t do the national rally as the last 4-5 months been 2 busy to do anything really

[BabyD]

[mention]mike_smith[/mention] to answer some of your questions over on the pictures tread, I make your score 1770 below is how I came upon that number:

you have uploaded 171 photos of which lots are duplicates

below is the challenge map with all your successful tags removed

 

 

Dealers 10/10 100+50 bonus = 150

Pubs 10/10 100+50 bonus = 150

Tracks 15/20 = 150

North & South Scotland 6/24 = 60

NorthEast & NorthWest England 12/12 120+50 bonus = 170

East & West Midlands 24/24 = 240+50 bonus = 290

East of England 12/12 = 120+50 bonus = 170

South East England 12/12 120+50 bonus = 170

South West England 12/12 120+50 bonus = 170

North & South Wales 24/24 240+50 bonus = 290

[BabyD]

[mention]mike_smith[/mention] you score should be 1770 NOT 1860

[mike_smith]

hello

I see my mistake now I thought the bonus applied to both north & south wales and east & west midlands

all the best

Mike

[Hoggs]

woah there! the 50 point bonus IS applied to east and west Midlands and also North and South Wales.

If it's a different colour on the map it's a different region.

So [mention]mike_smith[/mention] sounds like your scoring was correct.... unless you haven't got Gaydon museum in which case -50

I will try and check at some point, but things have been a bit crazy

[mike_smith]

Hello

Yes I got Gaydon it was closed but I took a photo of the sig by the entrance

 

 

As you are the organiser I will go with you and reset my total including bonuses to 1860

Thanks for organising the challenge - I have organised some before and know its not easy - but the best form of thanks is loads of entries it makes it worthwhile

Mike Smith

[Hoggs]

thanks Mike! guess I should start looking at next year's soon

[oldgrump]

Hi [mention]Hoggs[/mention], thanks for organising this years Photo Rally, and i hope you do, do another one next year.

Especially liked some off the Cafe's this year, apart from the fact, me and the wife ate at to many of them and look forward hopefully to next years mix

And maybe bumping into some members somewhere?

[mike_smith]

Hello Hoggs

just an idea for next year there are many statues of comedians throughout the uk how about any 10 for a bonus list
