FIRES at Summer BushMoot 2022

[Tony]

We've received a further update regarding open fires in the area.

PLEASE NOTE - We are not allowed any open fires on site until informed otherwise by the estate that owns the campsite.

Due to the extremely dry conditions in the area there is a serious fire risk and the ban on fires imposed. Please bring an alternative means of cooking food such as a gas stove.

Hopefully we will have plenty of rain and all will be well, it's Wales so there's a good chance!

Thanks for your understanding and your prayers for rain

Tony

Does this include wood burning stoves and barbecues?

 

[Tony]

I would say yes it includes woodturning stoves and no to BBQ's but I'd expect them to be well attended and looked after and a water bucket available to put everything out.

There's not going to be any firewood available unless the ban is lifted so in theory there's no fuel for wood stoves as we're only allowed to burn wood supplied by the estate.

I’m assuming naked flames and sparks are the issue so I would include Kelly Kettles in the ban. If that’s your usual brew method you might want to consider an alternative.

Ok, Good to know. I'll pack a couple of extra gas cannisters, and leave the firebox.

It's going to make it difficult for Hermione to make S'Mores though, she's not going to be happy....

I was going to be doing a few cooking workshops. Oh well it’s understandable. Plenty of pine on sand it’s going to be pretty dry.
forecast is for rain on Sunday at Bridgend but it will need to be. A lot of rain.

 

[Tony]

All hail the rain Gods, of which there are many!!!

 

[saxonaxe]

and your prayers for rain

Standby...I'll have a word..

 

[John Fenna]

Would meths stoves be OK if the fires ban is in force?

May I suggest you organise a cricket match for the first day of the moot. In our village, a home match usually is the signal for rain.

The traditional English means of summoning the rain spirits, modern interpretations include washing the car, painting anything outdoors and planning a caravan holiday.

Ok... I better grab a couple bags of charcoal

Sadly the longer range forecast doesnt look too promising

Oh well, better grab a couple bags of charcoal

 

[Dave Budd]

I guess I'll have to make sure there is space in my van for plenty of charcoal then! Just as well I emptied the kiln today

I can't believe it will stay dry in Wales for that long

Can John and I reserve a bag of charcoal from you please Dave

As for the rain, it'll probably pi$$ down on the last day when we're packing up :/

It wont Dave. Thunderstorms expected for the Sunday so get down to the dunes early on in the moot. Looking pretty overcast here now at the moment.

 

[Cap'n Badger]

Doh!…..i shall pack my massive wind turbine/solar boards and the three bar electric fire for the NC then…

Most certainly mate

and I wouldn't be surprised if it does choose packdown day to tipdown!

 

[Mesquite]

Looks like it'll be a wet set up on arrival on Monday. Light rain starting tonight right through to 4'ish on the Monday. Sadly I doubt it'll be enough to lift the fire ban

 

[StevieE]

It's not great here at the moment. Expecting a dry today but it's rained for most.of it. Welcome to Bridgend.

 

[Dave Budd]

There you go. The arrival of a bunch of campers brings the rain!
