Triffids on Ashton Court!   RSS GeoLocation
As I was coming home from work, I saw a REALLY bright light coming from South West Bristol along the river. So i stared at it for a while trying to figure out what it was. Was a huge Meteor heading our way which was going to turn humanity blind so that alien plants could take over? Was someone jumping off the Suspension Bridge? What the hell was going on? So I cycled towards it on my bike and eventually found out it was coming from the top of Ashton Court, and it looked like a huge floodlight (well two one was hidden a bit). So I went home and borrowed Miriam's camera (cos its automatic-fantastic and I don't have lightmeters on any of mine), and went to check it out.
Cycled up to Ashton Court and jumped over the fence into the Deer Park bit, spooked some deer and went back to the path. I was going to head up the track into the Estate, but a Police Car drove ahead of me so I got my phone out and got on my bike and went home.

:edit:
I emailed Ashton Court to find out what it was and I got this in response:
"Didn't see them myself, as I like to go home about 5, but Casualty have been on sight for just over a week, you may have seen thier vehicles near the Golf Course. They were filming some nights shots for a June episode and because of bad weather it took them longer than it they thought. But they had arranged feesand permision with the film department at Bristol City Council, so it was all above board and legal. So what the tv closely in June."

So not as interesting as I thought.. oh well
