My stock of firewood is running low and I have heard a rumour that the price has doubled due to the high demand this year. Does anyone know the going rate at the moment in the Tavira area at the moment. OB

Thanks for all the replies.

The pic is of my 1938 BSA G14 980cc bike but around here I ride a 1965 ex Army B40; more suited to the rough tracks, caminho's.
