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.

Cairngorm
We had an early start today as Jeremy wanted to go to the top of the Cairngorm – I stayed lower down.

A walk in the other direction
The National Forest Way
Today I turned left onto The National Forest Way.
The path this way was quite overgrown in places with brambles and stinging nettles, and when it came to crossing some of the fields, the path was just visible. You also have to walk past a sign saying the way is a private gated road – no access – I ignored that.

However there was a viewing platform – a small view as I am sure the trees have grown since it was installed, but a good spot for a coffee.

National Forest Way to the River Trent
The National Forest Way passes by Wychnor Park Country Club – so before it got too hot this morning I walked out to the River Trent along the path.
Along the way, I found a suitable spot for to brew a coffee, out in the countryside but definitely in the shade – my bush hat can only keep so much sun off me.

This squirrel came for breakfast.
