it's february. should be too soggy to burn.
After all the cries of 'apocalypse" I like the sound of Laura Boocock:
Ms Boocock said: "It is quite dramatic to see but it is nothing we can't deal with."
In other news a BBC weatherman says warm dry conditions may be a contributing factor, who knew? Now where did MNPR take place this week?
been quite a bit of heather burning on the hills around here, I suspect managed by estates though can't be sure -- I suspect it's easier to control as the really dry rubbish stuff will burn while underlying vegetation won't really take hold.
My guess is some idiots went up and had a BBQ trying to enjoy this weather.
More on fire again than what?
Amazing isn't it! I blame social media (again).
Now where did MNPR take place this week?
Whitefield.
Move along. Nothing to see here.
It's normal if a little early for moorland fires. More usually around Easter, lots of dead grass from last year, new growth not started yet, often a dry spell coupled with kids on school holidays. We know spring is on its way when there's smoke rising in East Lancashire.
Isn't Marsden in Yorkshire 🙂
<sigh> gonna be a long summer year trudging around hills chasing wildfires.
