I'll bring a fire log too.  If everyone brings one we should have a decent wee fire most of the night

What's the etiquette on digging a pit on a summit.  I don't mean to be a pain in the a** but I would have thought digging a pit, burning a fire in it all night, and burying the remnants would be quite messy.

I have a light weight folding bbq that I will bring.  My Primus Stove is getting a service so I will cook my dinner on the BBQ and we can use it after for the fire.

Need to careful about lighting fires on Hen mountain,as it's part of Batt's estates,which have the shooting rights over the land,the game-keeper lives just below the mountain & i don't think he would warm  to the idea of digging a pit,although i'am sure burning a few fire log would be fine as shooting season had just finished

I've been keeping quiet on this one as thought I might have been able to make it, but it's not lookin likely! Enjoy guys, look forward to seein the pics!

[LandyLiam]

i thought digging the pit for the fire then filling it in after with the same sod would have been ok    other option would be to pile a few rocks up and burn a log on those, but the bbq looks perfect, cheers andy, i'll use it to heat my chinese up when i arrive late
