    Well, yes. I know that now.

    At the time it was my survival mechanism kicking in which told me to get
    the **** away from the site and towards civilisation. We did wait about
    30mins to an hour on top of a hill waiting for snow ploughs, watching
    bikes falling over. Virtually *every* fucking bike as it went down the
    hill.

    The snow plough never came but the wind and the cars driving over the
    snow eventually did the trick.
    All I can think of is icing in the filter. Changed it... when I got
    home.

    No, I'm just trying to work out if you've got more legs than me, that's
    all.
    Hmm. And being Scandanavia there's that "every man's right" thing
    meaning we can camp near to the road. Not sure if that extends to
    lighting fires though.

    Anyway, don't care. I've now got (on the way) a coleman dual-mantle
    petrol lantern so I've got heat, light and fire in one handy little
    package.

    I got one of those - they are blindingly bright.

    You'll need to get some spare mantles as they don't survive bike trips
    very well, IME.

  5. Pretty much, yes. If it's too far out, you'll soon know.

    Either you'll be pumping it frantically to get it to work, or have a
    stiff one that doesn't do much. (OOOOEEERs optional at this point.)
