Guess Where...........13


This one is either going to be really easy or really hard.  



Taken with Mini 3 Pro.

Strange one. Seems too slim for a castle and too big but short for a chimney.

Well it might be a well
Or possibly a chimney. Botallack perhaps?

Not Botallack but you're on the right lines.

Geevor perhaps?
This looks like it might fit the bill.

I wasnt aware of that one,   will add that to the list.      You're on the right tracks but the wrong side of Cornwall.

I thought I'd even found the chimney remains at that pinpoint
Back to the drawing board

Interesting teaser.  My first thought was a well but after reading Mr. B's surmises seems it is a chimney.

Thats a fair guess,   but where is it?

That's still a mystery I'm not able to solve at this point.  I'm stumped but still trying to narrow down the location possibilities.

Stick to Cornwall
I'm still puzzling over this one too.

A zoom in reveals a cable (electric?)  on the lip. I'm going off chimney and veering back to well.
Or mine shaft.

Or is that for lightening?

Is that where your going wrong with the other one?

I'm working that angle now but still not having much luck.

Lightning cable wouldn't go down the inside.

I'm  not sure which one we're talking about now
I'm confused.

Me either

I hate to give up but I'm stuck on this one.  Time for a beer or two, or three.

I'll sleep on it

Well 3 beers didn't help at all so I'm waving the white flag.

8 hours solid and I'm on my feet again to a dry, still morning and..... fog!

I wonder if the cable was an after thought after it closed down then.

I must admit that does look like either a short antenna, or more likely a lightning rod, on closer inspection.
Beautiful day here today.  A lovely hillwalk, three batteries flown with the Mini3Pro, and a Geocache found, to boot.

Dang, real shame about the fog messing up what would have been a great start to the morning.  Windy here but no rain forecast for today.  Have two dive trips planned so I'm hoping the winds ease up a bit or it will make for a rough ride out to the dive site (about 10 miles out).

I spoke too soon.  Once I'd hiked up the hills, the fog dissipated and we had clear blue skies the rest of the day.  Managed three flights of the Mini3Pro.

Woohoo, that turned out great then.  I've been a bit preoccupied with scuba diving lately so I've kind of temporarily grounded my drones.  I have a dive trip for this afternoon and another tomorrow.  I'm also planning a major dive trip to Andros Island in the Bahamas.  There is an area there called the Tongue of the Ocean that offers a plethora of marine life and very unique underwater sand dunes.  So I've been doing a lot of research on that and trying to find out all the restrictions, etc as it is really close to a sensitive military installation.

Sounds like an exotic trip. Will you sail down?  l see it's about 100 miles or so off Miami.

Lovely,     we didnt make good use of the weather today as its the day we run around the parents.   And Monday were talking the MIL shopping so thats another loss.  Hoping to walk SWMBOd a few miles down to Southend later if she ever surfaces.

I should go out this morning as it's fine just now with rain forecast later.  Just a bit tired after the activities of the last couple of days.

Go for it whilst you can.      I need to compete another 10 miles today to keep my challenge going.

My total for the two days is about twelve miles. Quite enough for me

I need to complete 10.86 miles per day for 14 days to complete this challenge.   2.5 days to go but I doubt Monday will be achieved as its raining and were taking the MIL to the garden centre and supermarket.

Next week is looking pretty wet for us - but I have another group walk to take part in on Tuesday.

Walking through the Torrs this morning, I saw a notice for an art and photography exhibition in the Torr Vale Mill.
Last Friday.

Thats usually my luck,  you should see if the venue is on IG for next time, they may advertise it there.

Quite possibly it was on the Local internet website.  Mrs.B tends to monitor that.
