It has rained for two days. You are in a valley wood in the Lake District, the beck is loud and brown, every surface drips, and the ground squelches. Everything you pick up is dark with water. This is not an unusual day in Britain; in the wettest valleys it is a normal one. If your fire skills only work on a dry summer afternoon, they do not work here.
