    If you walked up to this bush just to have a look, and the peat was burning below would the ground not give way?
    Tandoori time.

    Shameless promotionalism (but I'll let it slide cos its a brilliant site!) But I'm afraid you cant capture videos or images of St Adser's Fire without my permission :D:D
    But seeing as we're neighbours, I'll sell you my photos Bob ;)

    I noticed last weekend that the farm yard right beside the slip road has a load of semi burnt logs piled up. Curiouser and curiouser....
    I couldnt tell if it was still burning the last few days cos its been dark every time I pass it but you can definitely smell it when your driving by

    Is it this field or the next one?
    I noticed it about six weeks ago on the way down from Dublin and thought some stupid ass farmer had started an illegal fire right beside the motorway.

    Someone suggested it might be someone making charcoal, possibly from old tree roots or branches ! Feasible ?

    Folks we have an answer! A friend of mine knows a lad in the fire brigade and put this question to him. here's the reply.....drumroll please...

    It's a bog fire that is impossible to put out as the fire goes deep down into the ground below and could go on for months. The one way of reducing the fire is by covering it up with clay etc, hence the mound or heap of bushes that we can see from the m 7.

    I feel empty inside now that the mystery of St Adser's Fire has been solved and its such a simple answer. I need a new miracle to get me through these foreboding times. Anyone have a statue of the virgin mary that's whinging crying or anything?
