Miller Ground Fun

June 29th, 2007

the spirit of the flames

On Tuesday, a few of us decided to head down to Miller Ground in Windermere/Bowness for some lakeside bonfire fun.
Spared the arduous task of finding wood (there was a massive heap right by the beach), we got to work right away and soon had a massive inferno going. Once convinced that our fire was hot enough to warm us up, the bravest amongst us decided to go for a dip off the pier. To our surprise the lake wasn’t as cold as might have been expected but there was certainly no hanging about!
Finally, we got cooking burgers and steak whilst toasting a few marshmallows. To end on a high note, we transferred some fire to a metal tray, piled on Dave’s already-smouldering boxer shorts and sent the ensemble on its way… until somebody sank the vessel with some pebbles! Heres some of our best clichés…
