Found these pics in a file I'd lost (sort of), they were taken one weekend in August to celebrate the patron saint of charcoal burners Saint Alexander.

Organised and run by some friends in the Sussex & Surrey Coppice Group, it was a two day burn with different shifts looking after things, but with Alan Waters as the 'Halfmaster' (boss).
Pretty successful burn, full of fun and food & came home blacker than a black thing on black street and with several bags of charcoal for my effort.
Just uploaded the rest to picasa
