Thats looks fun, in Wales, +6C heavy rain and heavy winds (Tv reported up to 70mph/112kph, though I don't believe that at all at the most in my area its 30mph/50kph, I'm lucky as I live in a valley we are somewhat sheilded from heavy winds like that)
My town in the summer

Norge Which meal did you have?
Its a Memorial to the miners killed in an accident at the Coal mine that used on that site, the whole area to the left used to be a Coal mine (Where the playing field is now) it was re-developed in the 1970/1980's when the mine closed.
The Memorial, its a 'dram' used to carry the coal from under ground to the surface.

Norge,
Hey did you use a FRH? If so how did it hold up in the -10C cold? Did it still get hot?

the frh did the job just fine,i keept the meal and heather inside the
gore tex jacket and keept myself warm to.
just lett out some of the steam now and then and dont smoke
to avoid fire
but its not like heating a meal in a pot on the camp stove.
cheers from norge

Don't smoke to avoid fire? What kind of gasses are those FRH giving off? Maybe I should read up on them.
