A little local difficulty

On a trip out along the River Weaver we experienced a little local difficulty when the exhaust caught fire due to a large build-up of carbon in the pipe. This type of event is particularly impressive at night when you can see the incandescent lumps of carbon erupting from the exhaust and raining down on all and sundry. In this daytime view you can see the lumps flying out amidst the flames and the steerer taking evasive action as his tee shirt is beginning to burn into holes. It was all over in a couple of minutes, leaving a carpet of oily carbon pieces to be swept from the cabin roof.
