Fires

Fires Cooking is best done on a stove. If you still want a camp fire do so with as little environmental impact as possible. • Take special care not to let fires get out of control especially during dry periods. It can take between 10 and 20 years for burnt moorland to recover and more than 30 years for the full establishment of the original level of growth. It is an offence to light fires within forest areas. • Don’t cut live wood.

• Select a safe non-scarring site such as a dry stream bed or flat rock.

• Completely extinguish a fire before leaving the site.

• Tidy up by dismantling the stone circle and replacing the rocks where you found them.

• Try to leave the site better than you
