Thank you to everyone who took part, extra big thank you to everyone who provided regular updates, and an enormous thank you to Murdoc and Captain RockNRoll for keeping their mechanicals going for the whole time. Having got mine only to the halfway point, I know what it needed of them.
My favourite was Murdoc's Snowflake - the only Spring Drive entered and a stone cold classic - it was a pleasure to see the very regular photos of that. I also enjoyed that it spent almost the whole period getting closer to correct time, not going away :peach:

The 2020 British Summer Time Challenge
I’ve always wondered how my radio controlled G Shock would fare with the auto sync off. So I’ll join in with my GW-5000. It synced this morning so is spot on, I’ll turn the auto sync off today and see how it runs naturally with no help from the Anthorn Radio Station.
Picture later tonight as I’m currently at work.
