Fire!

Ever since it was discovered fire has provided light, warmth, fuel and most importantly, something for boys to do when they get bored!!

Tonight, Raoul, Will and myself dusted off the fire pit at Raoul's house and got down to what we do best . . . Burning stuff!






It's a start. . .






Big flame. . .






Green wood to make crackling noises. . .






Will and his homemade Olympic torch. . .






Will, er. . . Smoking the Olympic torch. . .






Raoul poking the fire. . .






Fire from Will's bottom. . .






Will the fire breathing Dragon!!!!

As you can see we had much fun and Raoul and myself would like to congratulate Will on gaining his level 2 firestarters qualification.

Please note that all firestarting sessions have strict safety guidelines and regulations! Do not attempt to try any of the activities at home.

We also made a hot air balloon out of a bin liner, metal wire, a piece of sock and some meths! It was sweet! Well, at least the second one was. The first one caught on fire a few feet off the ground. The second one went about 200 feet up!
