Hi Mark, Try this site, it has all the sites on the wye and they all allow fires http://www.igreens.org.uk/canoeing_the_wye.htm Frogo

In all fairness, I have to agree with a lot that has been posted by RG598, I have not seen anything on here or the web that has convinced me that Ventile is this wonder fabric. Its just an over priced cotton coat :) So I think I might get myself a SAS windproof smock off ebay.

I think that if I was getting too hot and started to sweat the logical thing for me would be to remove my jacket :)

Thats a shame I used to like Lovejoy. Have you got any of your articles on Ventile?? would really like to read them. Just thinking of getting a westwind Ventile.

Hey John, it would be good to see some pictures :)

Some good advice on seasoning a Dutch oven, and as I'm now tempted in purchasing one. My question is what brand and what size? Frogo

Zingmo, Thanks for all the help :). I will let you know how I get on with the new mantles. ATB Nigel

Hi Zingmo. I watched a clip on youtube, not sure if the guy turned them inside out. I just followed the instructions on the pack. I have ordered a couple of new ones I will try your suggestions. Thanks Frogo

Hi KP, No, I have been taking extra care to ensure that nothing comes in contact with the mantle. I'm at a loss to be honest. Frogo

I was lucky enough to have had a Vapalux for Christmas, unfortunately I seem to be having problems with the mantles i.e. holes appearing after ignition. I have tried two replacement mantles but the problem is still happening. Is there an alternative mantle I could use? Could there be a quality...

I think its always handy to have a team of sled dogs sitting on the back seat of the car and the sled on the roof rack. :)

Cheers Drew

Does anyone know where I can purchase a chute similar size to the one Rik is using? I did purchase one recently but it was a cargo chute and way too big. Thanks
