We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.

Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September shoots near Old Heathfield lose the light at about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
