Campfire Guide

CAMPFIRES

Here at Wowo we are all about campfires. We think that camping without a campfire is tantamount to supporting President Bush for re-election a few years ago! Not only do campfires provide warmth and a focal point for any group or family, but loads of food can be cooked over or in them.

This is why we encourage you to have fires, however it means that you have to respect the dangers associated with having them.

Here is a quick guide:

1. Use the fire pits provided

2. At least 2 meters from any tent

3. Do not collect any wood yourselves!

LOGS for camp fire available at £5 per basket load

DELIVERED TO CAMPSITE EVERY NIGHT.

Weekend nights deliveries between 4 - 8pm
Weekdays deliveries between 4 - 6pm

If bringing your own wood it is crucial that there are no nails.
Campers feet do not go well with nails nor do car tyres. Also
no paint or varnish or any other chemicals that will pollute.

Wood Sources

The wood that we sell to you here at Wowo is sourced from a number of places, all of which are eco friendly and good quality.

The largest supplier is Ashdown forest. The council actively clear out Silver Birch to make way for heathland to grow and rejuvenate.

Secondly we buy in supplies from local sellers.

Thirdly local tree surgeons drop off their "waste wood" for us to deal with. Generally this is all the odd bits that are of no use other than burning but come in stumps and knots and is very hard to turn into burnable firewood.

What you can do - Cook Stuff!

1. Wrap jacket potatoes in foil and put on edge of fire to cook. (Bring butter and salt)

2. Bring an old pot or frying pan to put on the fire to cook whatever you've brought.

3. Popcorn - Make a large bag out of tinfoil and place 50g of popping corn with oil inside. Seal bag leaving lots of space and place on embers. Once popping, turn and shake, then add butter and salt and pretend your at the movies.

4.The hardest recipe of all - Marshmallows - only for the most skilled of chef's.
