You are right. If that was started by someone, what a muppet.

Great photo!

Great pic Steve

Must be exceptionally dry for that to happen in April

[GetCarter]

It hasn't rained for a couple of weeks... plus warm wind and 20+ C

Still going this morning (Just added some)

Started on the Torridon campsite

Great set of pics Steve, but as said why would someone do this!

Looks like something from a sci-fi movie.

No doubt the dozy pillock drove there in their Pious patting themselves on the back about how little they are polluting the planet.

Several airlifted off the hill, and now they are sending out choppers with buckets of water

Highlands of Scotland needing water... who'd have thought.

It took a minute to work out that wasn't 2 seperate pictures stuck together.

Idiots.

Lovely pictures though.

This one is jaw droppingly stunning:



Hope it goes out soon and nobody gets hurt!

I saw a similar sight last year near the peak of the M62, an awe-inspiring thing to behold until the realisation of what's actually happening kicks in.
