Two fire engines attended. Attached Files Last edited by diggingdeeper; 29th Jun 2018 5:06pm. In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Just wondering if it could be Helsby Hill, or even another one. Been about for appox an hour and half. Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.

Have they not come up with anything more effective. thinking along the lines of a fire blanket that could be rolled out along the edge of fire and then possibly flattened with roller of some kind or compacting plate.. Aware a lot has to do with remote locations.

Yes, beaters work really well, perhaps big shoes would make it easier? In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Yep..we were evacuated from Dawpool School Fair where they were going to show the football on big screen. The little car park was evacuated. Fortunately the wind was blowing it more towards the coast and not the school but you could see the smoke billowing couple hundred yards away. Police shut the road through the sandstone cutting. Some bad parking in school lane was hindering the fire engine getting there. Hope the cottage loaf with its thatched roof is ok..
