On the 24th of August 2008 I attended the Candles on the Cobb charity fundraising event at Lyme Regis. The evening saw 5000 tea candles laid out along Cobb harbour walls. To protect the candles from the wind they were placed in empty upturned plastic pint glasses with the bottoms removed. After the usual obligatory drawn out and rather pompous thank you speeches the candles were lit just before sunset. The best view is from up in the gardens that over look the cobb. To take some decent photographs you will need a tripod and a spot which avoids the street lights interference as much as possible – Next time I will pick my spot more wisely. The next Candles on the Cobb will be held in 2010 and then in our Olympic year of 2012.
