The Winters are fine, but have lost everything in the blast.

News has just been announced that two firefighters have been killed.

If anyone is in the St Ives/Huntingdon/Cambridge area there is a load of dumped blue HDPE water main pipe by the painted mini-roudabout on the Lakes technology park at the A14/A1096 (behind whippet coaches!)

Also all the trees are willow and the thined them out last spring, there are logs everywhere.....

Was a Jumping Jack like a Squib. I am sure I had some of theose (squibs) when I was a kid and remember getting chased by one that I lit....

Thanks for that, and welcome to the forum if no one else has welcomed you before! (Or just ignore me if you have been here for years :D )


Cheers chap, been lurking for a few weeks really. More because I want to make my own pyro, but I am still not sure if that is a good idea.....

Catherine Wheels are fun things I remember from my childhood days and it seems a shame to loose them and why I don't know? - What can be move fun than a firework that moves? (or more likely doesn't which is just as funny!) They are also relatively easy to make and "fairly" safe(ish) (That's if you nail it securely and are a good distance away)

It think it's a natural progression from fountains and slightly safer than rockets (Not lifting, bursting on the ground, going off course, etc) and far safer than firing shells (Which of course most of us don't do anyway as we don't have a CAT 4 licence ;) :lol:

LONG LIVE THE CATHERINE WHEEL!


And indeed they do live on... http://www.chinesefi...kes.html#wheels
