    Simon, one of the reasons I so like your channel is how you show without fuss and 'preaching' how to carefully and safely cool down and clean up the remains of your camp/cook fires. It just follows as a natural part of the process of looking after the lovely places you visit.

    Had a Fish n Chip shop many years ago. Total respect for your camp catering version, absolutely first class.
    Nowadays instead of Adnams bitter (which I do like) I think I will try the batter with their Ghost Ship. Them Citria Hops might impart a nice lemony flavour.
    Holy moly man youve really got my taste buds going. Steve
