Speeders On Windermere
      #1556568 - 23/08/2007 23:31

I was down at the lake shore this evening at 8.15 and could see and hear someone flying up and down further up the lake. They seemed to be giving rides to someone at the Miller Ground Jetties. Lots of shrieking and "Hoo-Har"s



Anyway they stopped after 20 minutes or so and chugged back, past me in the dusk.




Hmmmm

I get the feeling they would have been "rehearsing procedures"

If the local rag can get all heated about how much comment they get on a burnt chair, imagine how much comment we could create for this one!
