After a couple of days we got the call that Jones had been dried out, re-sealed and made good. if we’d known it was going to be so quick we’d probably have stayed in Hull. As we hadn’t I set off, solo in the little Citroen loaner. Travelling solo meant no navigator and the loaner…

After our night at the pub, we attempted a walk, but it wasn’t very long due to waterlogged and sheep-logged fields.

We left OffGrid Power fairly early and set off North. Our next appointment is getting the Jones undersprings strengthened at Rhino Installs in Preston. We made ok time but it’s quite a long way. After the early start our so-so arrival time was about 1pm at the local Booths and 2pm at our stop for…

We were early at the port, but weren’t bumped to an earlier boat, so we left Dunkirk at 10 am and reached Dover at 11:30. Now, after a quick grocery shop, we’re back at home, mostly unpacked, and the washing machine is on the first of many cycles. The mega-clean of Jones can wait for…

After a walk along the shores of Rutland water and an excellent breakfast at the Rutland Garden centre we set off for our next appointment. We were camping near Wantage where Off Grid Power Solutions would be inspecting Jones’ innards to see if an extra battery could be squeezed in. We set up camp at…
