BBC discovers "lighthouse baggers" - 08/07/08 08:15 PM

Thought you all might like to see our friends Pat and Joy at the Happisburgh Lighthouse in Norfolk UK ...

Lighthouse \'bagging\' boom ... is what the BBC called our hobby.

And we have illustrious company in Princess Ann, who also loves to see and visit lighthouses!!

Pat and Joy are certainly MUCH more than just 'baggers'. They are volunteers at the Happisburgh Light as well as being very much involved in the Association of Lighthouse Keepers and many more lighthouse related activities!!!

I guess one person's "Bagging" is another person's "Lighthousing" !!!

This fall I plan on telling all the lighthousers I meet that we are "lighthouse bagging".

Think we can get "wacko bagger badges". laugh

That would depend on how many lighthouses you have "bagged".
Is their a limit on how many you can bag?
Do you need a license to bag lighthouses?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Gee Dave--could you be less chatty?! Your responses take up so much space and are so detailed it gets to be a bit much. . . .

Sandy :p :p :p :p

Bag as many as you like !

And NO NO NO ... NO badge. That would not be very British ... if anything ... maybe ... a gold pin ... but only a very small one! Anything too big and you may be accused of being flash ...
