Centre Parks question...

[wilfandrowlf]

Not sure if this is the correct place but here goes....

My wife has just booked a 3 night stay at Centre Parks (Longleat) for just after Christmas, there will be 8 of us in total and they (wife and her friend) have chosen an option of having 3 fire logs included in the accomodation, I was checking the confirmation email and I noticed they are charging.......

Wait for it........

£9.99 for three fg fire logs!

Does anyone know whats special about them, are they hewn from the finest burr wallnut and delivered on a nice silk cushion, having been responsibly sourced from a non ancient woodland by someone wearing sandles?

Or are they just 3 bits of tree?

Lets face we'll be in a fg froest surrounded by bd logs!
I was thinking I could take my own wood to burn, am I allowed or are there rules on what you can burn?
Over to you guys.......

So, do they actually check?
I mean it'll be dark when we are using the fire in the evenings so the smoke won't be visible.
I don't intend burning scrap tyres or anything silly but I feel properly shafted spending a tenner on wood to burn.
Not only that but I bet they'll only last one evening and then I'll be sent to the site shop to buy more...... robbing bs, even Dick Turpin wore a bloody mask!
I know it sounds a bit petty but we'll be in a forest FFS, wood is plentiful.....It really does grow on trees.

Ok, thanks. I will look at buying a few spares just in case.
Can always use them in the chiminea in the garded if they are'nt needed.

You know, for when the wife has kicked me out in the garded for being a miserable sod!

Rather than questioning the sanity behind spending £9.99 for 3 logs to burn in the middle of a forest, shouldn't you be questioning the sanity of going to one of those god awful places in the first instance?

Yeah I know, but I didn't choose it.
It's a family thing, and sometimes it's just easier to go with the flow!
One of the other guys coming with us likes a drink so we can enjoy a beer or 3 while the ladies take the kids on the slides.
Possibly by the fire.....
