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’re attending a party – well one and a half parties around Henley-on Thames. We parked up on the meadows car park. It’s free over night but expensive in the day. The location right next to the Thames is excellent. Flynn can run on the meadow and we can gaze along the river towards Henley.…

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…

We woke to a lovely morning in Driffield and decided on a dog walk to start the day. There I saw a candidate for the most unusual thing I will see all day – a goat on a trampoline. Beats a ferret on a pogo stick any day. Sadly the 5G modem that was installed…

We didn’t sleep well although we didn’t get up early. We are not consistent I suppose. During the night I realised I’d forgotten to unpack one of Denby’s deepest darkest cubby holes so… back to the M&C workshop. Luckily whilst we were there Jack agreed to fit WiFi and fix the cupboard light which had…
