Before starting this
gallery we would like to point out the danger of fireworks. If
things go wrong you can get hands and other extremities blown
off, or they can explode in your face making you blind or burning
up your face, or even killing you- Dangerous Stuff!!
Definatly not reccomended without adult supervision.
You've all seen the class Bruce Willis Film,
Armageddon, where intrepid Yankie Oil rigger type people get launched
in to space to drill in to an asteroid hurtling to earth to save
the day etc etc.
Well we decided to pursue a similar
endevour, by launching the worlds first trained stuffed bear,
in to space. However it all went horrifically wrong...

We treked to Arundels, by now infamous,
Swanbroune
Lake (click that link for an overhead view of the exact spot where we did this!)
where we carry out so many of our adventures.
We blocked off the top secret launch site with forestry
signs so people didn't know what wonders lay ahead.

TA Grunts, Wodders and Foss Stood gaurd, while the higly
skilled civilian scientists Shawson & Baggy went to work.

On the approach to the launch site there was some slides
put down, which the "forresters" would slide
pieces of wood down. We used these to test the rockets,
laying one in, lighting it, then legging it.
We didnt manage to get a pic of the result as we were
running for our lives as the rocket hit something and
doubled back. We shit our collective pants.

This is the valley down which the test flight
would take place. To my right, Mission Control...
-
...An old dug out bunker used in world
war 2 for shooting practice.
This provided valuable protection against the billowing
flames that would erupt from the rocket at lift off.
