Straightline 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I have two stories to tell that come to mind. The first being not myself but my lamping partner. He was on a farm early hours when after him and another friend had got over a fence into a new field he heard a bump-bump-bump-bump of multiple animals running towards them. In panic the lamp was flicked on and they were confronted with a herd of angry ostriches at full tilt running towards them. Dogs were let loose, fence was dived for and they ended up in a pile in the field they had just come from. The second one was in the same area but I was there as well. We had just lamped a field which was about 2 miles from a village and the nearest house was over 1/4 mile away. We approached a fence, nice and quiet like, whnen we flicked the lamp on the other side of the fence to quickly see what we were climbing over into. As the light illuminated, a toothless, haggard face was lit up which screamed at us to which we screamed back!!!! A tramp had only made his bed for the night the other side of the fence!!!! I don't know who was more frightened! It was like something out of deliverance! Quote Link to post
swanseajack 227 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 10-12 years ago I used to do a lot of lamping on the Gower.. 3 of us used to go and do a bit... we stopped one night right next to Swansea Airport as we knew the place was riddled with bunnies.. Stuck the lamp on from the side of the road just for a look....... lots of cars, lots of people DOGGING... you know DOGGING... didn't know what it was called that back then... but a bit a bit of a dogging festival was going on..... over bonnets, sides of cars etc etc etc... so we kept the Lamp on and added a bit of noise... kept the horn blasting for a bit while they all run around a bit dazzled and bewildered.... pulling up their trousers and trying to hide their faces.. don't know who was more shocked us or them.... :ph34r: :ph34r: after that we used to, on our nightly excursions, look for cars in lay bys pull right up to them side on with headlights on full and horns tooting... best laughs we ever had lamping.... I think we must have upset a lot of jolly shaggers over the years.... Quote Link to post

cymro 0 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Going back about 2 years ago,lamped a farm which was plastered with rabbits.the farmer was anti so there was no point in asking,so we did it early hours one morning.After having a bag full(20) bunnies we started to walk back to the house as we approached the farm gate we flashed the lamp at a white car that had pulled in to track.....(Cant stop laughing at this 1)The white car turned out to be a police car,me and my mate s**t ourselves ad thought we had been rummbled.As we kept the lamp on the car and thinking what to do next a head of a police man and woman popped up with embarassing look on both faces.(wandering how the windows of the car was so steamed up?) me and my mate just creeped off into the night,but f**k i wash i had my camera Quote Link to post
Patje 0 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Me and my mate came back walking from a night lamping in the neighborhood. We where walking past a few fields and saw 2 boys, one holding a electric step/scooter (see pic) i think the battery was low. and one on a bike. This was very suspicious so put the lamp on the one with the step and screamed "hold police" He started to run and you could hear the motor of the step going faster than possible. So screamed "hold police" again but harder, so the boy dropped the step and just ran for his life and left his mate behind. :ph34r: This boy didn't bought it, he just picked the step up and drove off with the step in his hand. We also found a very expensive bike in the bushes and left it by somenones doorstep, so that it would be found. It was nice to see someone run besides our dogs... Patje Quote Link to post

I wonder if it was a llama or something like that, I nearly had a very unfortunate incident with some while lamping some fields adjoining the local wildlife park! Quote Link to post

doddsy1970 9 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 The funniest one I have is when we lamped up a park down in sussex where i used to live and there was this big round white thing facing us at first i couldn't work out what it was then i realised it was someones spotty arse, so i slipped the dog she went hurtling up and then started licking the blokes face. I was crying with laughter watching them running across the park trying to get dressed.... Another one was when a friends son came out with us after an hour or so he said he needed a leak so i told him to go pee in the corner a few seconds later there was a blue flash and he was running around holding his manly bits ... hed only peed on an electric fence Quote Link to post
