'Where have you seen that bag?'

     

Paul McNamara, a Grasmere Gingerbread fan, decided that after seeing 'the bag' helicopter shot he would take a bag somewhere exotic! OK Paul, you win hands down!
Paul was staying on board a M/Y Emperor Infinity diving around the Red Seas out of Hurghada when he visited the wreck of the SS Thistlegorm which was bombed in 1941 with the loss of 9 lives. The photographs were taken next to the 4.7 inch anti-aircraft gun down at about 25 metres from the surface - fantastic! He said "It was not easy holding a plastic bag out straight underwater!"

Keri Boyer from Sacramento, USA, standing on Meyer's grade about 2,500 feet above the South Lake Tahoe Basin in California - the lake is barely visible below the furthest mountain range, which is in the state of Nevada. The California/Nevada state line runs right through the middle of the lake. It is a natural Alpine lake and averages, 1000 feet in depth – the second deepest lake in the US, and it is 22 miles form South to North Shores. The large brown clearing in the distance is the Tahoe Airport runway!

Keri was given her bag by friends who visited the shop and took home Gingerbread as a gift for her family. They thought the Gingerbread was wonderful and served it warm with a lemon sauce!


Roger Hughes from Essex with his Grasmere Gingerbread Bag.  These photographs were taken on the Franz Joseph glacier (300 metres thick), Southern Island, New Zealand.  The mountain in the background on the right picture is Mount Cook, the highest mountain in New Zealand - he must have eaten alot of Gingerbread to get him up there!
