Ottery tar barrels, 2011 - a photo on Flickriver

Ottery tar barrels, 2011

            An excellent but completely insane event, held every year in Ottery St. Mary, Devon, where locals charge (a bit randomly!) through the streets carrying heavy flaming barrels across their shoulders. There is no 'health and safety', the crowds are massive and tightly-packed and the streets are narrow. The barrels are run through the streets until they collapse. How close you get is up to you but swift manouevring may be essential!!
