The Beltane Fire Festival is held every year during the night of 30th April on Calton Hill in Edinburgh. An audience of around 15 thousand people come to share the two hour procession and wild after-events. Justifiably famous for its intensity and colour, the event has become a much-loved feature of the Edinburgh calendar since it was first organised in the mid 1980s.
so who's all gonna be there??

Now slept, fed, washed and clean, and it's now sunny! Gonna go see if anybodies about...
I'm only just waking up... nice to see I only managed to remove the first layer of paint
and I think with the number of aching muscles... I may well be broken... but it was worth it

Just one small question - how the hell do you get paint of the middle of your back?

the m-ling has some good uns too. Though none of my back. I'm glad to see the shield and trident lit up nicely.

Not so firey after all. And I could still feel the heat from the shield. Steve was the best fireguard we didn't have.

Pictures are not on the web. Though I will ask him.
Geeks with cameras - only slightly better than geeks with new cameras.

Whoo, that was quite a night...
Whenever I close my eyes I get flashbacks to the middle of our performance and I see sheets of flame and soot flying towards me from a pillar of white fire. Yay!
I'm glad I spent a week telling the boys to only make a *small* fire sculpture
And now I can sleep easily without worrying about people wearing plastic costumes or making huge wobbly wire constructions that they're covering in flame and perching on their heads (or the police turning up when the flaming swords come out at inappropriate times
).Definitely a peak experience in my life
But now I can go back to being safe and normal
Kind of...

well I ain't joining the gav/andy twins hairstyle. hair cuts are out (unless it's just a split ends trim). I'll think of something - probably involving lots of copper wire (goes nicely with blue I reckon):slacksmilie:

yes they do, they just can't affix them which is why the feathers fly about so much when they flap
