of chocolate fireguards and snow fireplaces
After lighting the fire on the snow, I began to build up the sides, again the snow wasn't melting at all quickly. I thought of enclosing it igloo-style, but the smoke was too much.
The sides aren't that thick, maybe 15mm, I made the top overhang as much as I could before the smoke got in my eyes, the more I enclosed it the more smoke there was, which was understandable.
Eventually I ran some small holes through the snow-wall, near the bottom, to get an updraught going.
it was extraordinary feeling the freezing snow in my hands and the burning fire on the back of my hands.

What a very Coombesian fire you have made. All it needs now is Robertson to jump over it.
