Haven't posted for a loong time now so thought I'd do a wee update ..
Staying at faslane peace camp now, google if you've not heard of it .. been here the past long time and been a really nice place to stay.
Just got the internet turned on last month here but we've only got two solar panels (130w total) to power stuff .. on a sunny day they're all right but considering the following; It's the west coast of scotland and I can't remember the last full day of sun we had, they're west facing and we're surrounded by trees it's not often we have enough power to use the laptop

Got a friend to charge up the battery on their mains for now though..
Just putting together a wee hydro turbine to put on a wee stream at the back of site.. it goes under a culvert so putting the genny inside it, got about a 4ft drop with I can only guess about 40gal/min(put a 2 gal bucket at the end of the pipe and it filled up pretty instantly), will get some pics up soon of the progress, just bodging a simple turbine together with some plywood and pvc pipe with a wooden shaft (!) but it should work pretty well.
Anyway, Hi to y'all I've not spoken to in like a couple years. Any big news around here I should know?
