We had a planned day out with Hazel and used our Walkers Crisps Half-price tickets to visit Warwick Castle. The weather was not very promising but it stayed fine. We watched the Trebuchet (Roman catapult) being fired and then raced back to see the Eagle display. At the end of the display it was announced that volunteers were wanted for the late firing of the Trebuchet and this time the ammunition was to be a fireball! Hazel volunteered and we were allowed to accompany her.
Hazel was kitted out and became a 'hamster' to wind down the throwing arm
She was told not to look at the slats because they were stroboscopic and that it would make her sick. She was told not to be sick because in a hamster cage the floor becomes the ceiling every few seconds!
Watching the release of the arm and seeing the fireball fly through the air was truly impressive.
