How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In December, daylight in Upper Heyford ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:30pm.
