Well, it's been massively sorted since then anyway.
And I recall Hotch saying he hadn't been.
It's good for at least a day.
There's the mill itself, working machinery, people in costume, etc.
Decent tea room.
Enough woods to get lost in.
Off you go, Hotch.

I found a piece of jet (not plane) there. I found a piece of amber on a
beach in suffolk once, I picked it up thinking it was a fruit pastel (I
was very young).

I found a dead jellyfish on southport beach once. But I didn't eat it.
Can jellyfish be eaten, anyway ? When they're tooling around the water,
I think they're k3wl d00dz. Not rum fuckers at all.

A friend of mine made the mistake of kicking a jellyfish he
found on the beach. Unfortunately it was in a state of
fairly advanced state of gaseous decomposition and exploded
all over him. Liberally pasted with rancid groo goo.
Best thing I ever found on a beach? A dead pig. Quite
possibly the Pig from Atlantis, now sadly deoinked.

A 60ft long whale has just been washed up on a beach not a
million miles from here. I have it on good authority that it
is a) a very popular attraction and b) extremely ripe.
I also have it on good authority that when whales reach a
certain degree of decomposition, they are apt to explode.
Now where did I leave that umbrella?

I found a large lamb on a beach once and carried it two miles
along the sand to where we'd parked. We took it to the vet on
the next day to be told that it had broken both back legs had
gangrene and should be put down. Worryingly, this didn't upset
me all that much, despite only being about eleven at the time.

Right again.
They had a dead whale and it was a bit big to shift, so they decided to
dismantle it with explosives.
Idiots.
There'll be a link to the mpeg somewhere on the Fortean Times web site,
but as I may have mentioned, I've lost my bookmark file.....

If you think I'm going to sit there with a camcorder waiting for
the critical moment, you can think again.
Besides, it looks as though it's already blown in a rather
unimpressive and smelly way.

They've decided to let nature take its course this time.
Apparently someone from the Biological Sciences dept of this hole
is after the skull - unless one of Illtud's cousins with a strong
stomach and an enterprising mind gets there first.
