Boarhead, this is what I was telling you about:: www.shetlandtourism.com/pages/..._aa.htm
They burn a viking longship every year at the end of January and then party. It's in the Shetland islands. You can click on evening events to see them burn the ship and on on Back to homepage for info on where it is at. Definitely a burn I must see someday.

    BH this gives me a great idea... we should build a lil' viking ship, one that could fit 4-8ppl, to go along with lil' Valhalla. we could either have it as an extra item to burn at the event or it could just be an addition to the camp. this could maybe be ready in time for mychevia, depending on what happens with that, or it could be ready for FS next year.

      In fact I was telling Rob, when he told me he had an idea of something to tell BH about to make and burn at Myschievia, I said hey, to add to your idea about the inside of it, why not make the outside of it a boat?
