Sunday on Skye
Dunvegan
The Duirinish Stone
The Duirinish Stone dates from the turn of the Millennium, not the stone age, and was put here by local villagers to commemorate the date.
It is located above Dunvegan with views of Loch Dunvegan and the MacLeod’s Tables in the distance.
At the foot of the hill are the ruins of St Mary’s Church.

Coffee
Storm Betty has passed leaving us with a sunny, dry but breezy morning.
Time for coffee.
The plan today is to go nowhere for the morning as Jeremy wants to watch the football World Cup today. The last time I camped at this site was in 2013 and I commented on the lack of a phone signal – this would be a problem today when it comes to watching the football.
However a new phone mast that we can easily see from our tent has solved that problem.
Testing the Allpowers power station
It is running the room fan and my i7 Dell XPS – full charge to 5% about 7 hours.
However do not use the QR Code in the booklet to get the app – search the app store for ALLPOWERS2.
The car charging kit is also out of stock on Amazon…
But this unit is the right size and weight for my needs.

A new toy for camping
This is not for backpacking but rather for when we have the car with us. I am also expecting a 100w folding portable solar panel to go with it.
It is a ALLPOWERS Portable Power Station 300W / 288Wh, with plenty of options for plugging in gadgets, including 240v three pin plug. It can even be charged from the car.
It will also be useful if the government cannot sort it’s energy policy issues out and we have power cuts.
