AR09 Fire: I'm contemplating my wood...

in an attempt to fit in with the locals, cant you just nick an xr3i and torch it in a field?

Please hang on and don't phone places just yet. I'm even talking to my places right now. My school is having building works done as well. So please SK wait a bit before you phone up Scout camps (ooor err lol)

Lol - was just getting a list of their suppliers not committing to anything for ideas

Hence why I just passed the info on, and didn't chase Buildbase

No its about the cost of a pint per person

I really want a fire but as was said before "too many cooks n all that" so i'm staying well out of this and leaving it to you capable boys n girls.

if you fail in your mission just know this much... your bikes will be the first in the fire, then we'll go looking for XR3is like custard said

In a shock move I agree with you! We could probably get away with a minimum order (1 pallet, around £100) but we'll probably run out of wood on Saturday night. I'd rather miss out on a pint and have a fire than have one more pint and be cold though! Just wanted to open up some discussion of what we're gonna do for fuel. Problem as I see it is transporting it to the site, and the bonus for getting stuff delivered is... it's delivered. Pallets are all well and good, but I don't reckon I can get more than 27 on my bike at once...

Someone knows someones who's a tree surgeon who may be able to help. I'll chase that one up but a plan B is a good idea.

I'm sure it won't be a problem storing stuff there for a week or two.

Someone is working on it right now........will get back to you

if it helps, some of us are coming in cars. If there's a local-ish source, i'm sure we can convoy over and stuff as much in as possible.

also more than willing to load up on the fire building weekend too if they can keep the wood dry and safe for a week

i was thinking along the lines of crates of 24, £160 would buy hell of a lot, you could probably get it for a tenner a crate, thats nearly 400 cans

just seems a bit weird spending so much money just to burn, can you just go chop some trees down
