How did you get back in through the barrier !!!

These modern cordless power tools work wonders!!

Is there a prize for the cleanest roof?

We'll be good contenders for that one Brian, ie, gets cleaned twice a year, with the good old British weather maintaining it in-between.

Cheers,

Jock.

I hope not, as you can see from mine, I was told it was for the most......... natural! Eco-friendly

He's had lots of experience cleaning fire engines, a clean fire engine is a happy fire engine I was told when I first joined ...

Morning all,

Is there a prize for the cleanest roof?

We certainly wouldn’t win, even with the rain giving it another wash at the moment!

I think Lee has a ladder you can borrow to get up there. You won't need to rinse today

 

[Merv and Pauline]

Where can I find the number to get back thru the gates please?

I have looked through the event details and this thread and can't find it...

Help!!!

"run"?

Or fast shuffle?

OK I exaggerated

 

[Stag man]

Clean roof!!
No chance, we’ve come from Thetford Forest site where we parked under the trees….sap, pollen and leaves on ours

 

[Just smiffy]

Looks like winter out there… I’m not getting out of the van until I see 150w on my solar..

You are in for a long wait... Hope you have plenty of supplies.

Currently 150W panel on roof and 200W foldout are giving a combined 24W At this rate we'll be paying for hookup.

And it's getting much worse. At 3:00pm, I have all of 10W (yes that is ten). I'm going to have to turn the lights on soon ...

If only you'd purchased a candle at the Swaffham auction

I did. Twice

You can't do that, you have to save your battery!

Thanks for reminding me, I have a firefly light in a jar I purchased, far better than those elusive candles!

Might go to the pub tonight at least it will save putting the heating on..

 

[Just smiffy]

Looks like the curry tomorrow night will be the only hot thing we see this week….

As well as articulated fridge trailers, double decker buses, and hi-liner coaches Dave.

Cheers,

Jock.

 

[Stag man]

Yep, good ‘ol Beeb reckon it’s going to be half decent ( but then it is the Beeb)

[Kannon Fodda]

half decent. So a factor 50 umbrella required?

 

[Stag man]

Or half an umbrella?
After all this the arid, parched side of the country
Less rainfall than the Sahara……

 

[Wh05apk]

The forecast for tomorrow is good, no rain, and mostly sun, so fingers crossed.

We've got 4.0kw of solar at home (Colchester only 12 miles away) and only produced 6.6kw from South facing angles panels, we'd expect 20+ this time of year, so a few hundred watts of flat mounted panels don't stand a chance.

And my home solar is not far from the rally. I wonder if I managed 1kw!!

 

[Two on Tour]

The weather was not good at home today, managed to harvest 15.5kw and export 10kw before we lost the light, but as the rates are below 8p for a few hours in the early morning I'm discharging to the grid at present to make some space in the battery.
