May I just mention this site being as many offgridders come to these threads. If you are looking for an offgrid within the Lakes you may have rung and not had an answer. That's because the CL has been sold together with the rest of the farm and the phone number in the book has been discontinued. If you are interested in booking the site the number to ring is 07766 385286 and speak to Mark, the previous owner. He is really keen that this site remains open and continues to welcome guests. It has hard standing and although it is a little inundated with weeds, you can still make out easily where it is.   It is peaceful with the odd passing car. Views of Little Mell fell which is easily reached - we conquered it- hope no one has removed our flag! Penrith is not far and Ullswater Road Garage there fills Safefill. What more could you want?

Well Roberts are very good lass!  DAB is not a make but a way of receiving radio. Not good is it to have to pay for something you are not using?? Enjoy your trip. This weekend we are off to our all time favourite non EHU site. Can't wait.

For a good portable DAB radio, I would recommend looking at a Ruark R1.  It works from 12v no problems, it has a Bluetooth receiver so you can stream, it even has a USB output for charging.  Only downside costs £200.  Fortunately for me someone who loves me very much bought it as a present.  Yep went to the shop and bought it myselflaughing.
