Here's another cool offering for the UMD photo archive.
Sarah and Annabelle have agreed to ride home together after a night of fun, but Annabelle's idea of how to get to the car is flawed - it leads to a nasty bog. They encounter the swamp individually, but like birds of a feather, they both think it's just a puddle. Annabelle jumps in. Sarah walks in. Will they ever run into each other again? Quirky and dramatic, this tale needs to be enjoyed by fans of quicksand drama!
Emma Skye said: How do you make a peat pit like that? I've been curious for a while and I can't find much advice digging through old forum posts.
It's just water and the kind of peat you find (usually in compressed bales) in gardening sections of DIY stores.
We normally lined the pits with heavy duty tarps. But eventually we tried to go with swimming pool liners if we could find them affordable enough. The pool liners last a lot longer.
Anyways, start with water in the pit. Start adding the peat. It normally takes a lot of manual stirring to soak the peat properly. It will float for a while and then eventually settle.
The best looking and sounding peat bogs are ones that have time to gel, literally.
Love you, too
