Smuggler's Night

Tonight we went to Smuggler's night in Rottingdean which is an annual celebration of the village's shady past. For 200 years from the mid 17th Century, the Rottingdean gang of smugglers ran contraband cargoes using caves dug into the cliffs which led to tunnels connecting the cellars of houses and Inns under the High Street. If you're interested you can read more about it here.

It was absolutely freezing, so dressed in our thermals we went to meet up with Chrissy, Stephen, Graham, Alison & Tony and had a few drinks while watching the parade. Then we went and stood on the top of the cliffs to watch the firework display at the end of the night. I took a lot of photos which I've put on Flickr if you want to have a look.
