Today 2024 Irvine

£15 seems like excellent value to stay on a well located city centre mooring.

How's the new boat coming along?
-
The same kit we bought last month elsewhere online is cheaper than their sales prices

Not quite the same angle of the locks from 2017 And below the sea lock where we stopped for breakfast. We ended up spending a lot longer than expected at the foot of Neptunes Staircase in 2017. The weather turned for the worse and we spent three days on the pontoon mooring at the foot of the stairs. Scottish Canals were very good about it. Our 7 day visitors licence (that we should have paid for but they gave us for free when we entered the canal at Inverness) ran out and they let us have another few days free of charge due to being weather bound. We visited again in 2021 with the van this time. Not much had changed since we had visited by boat.

We went over that bridge in 2021. No surprise it was raining as it usually does when we visit

They are beautiful, even on a wet day. We stayed there in the van a few years ago to see them lit up at night.

On this day 2016 A wet grey day at the Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies

If you have nothing to add, no "holiday snaps" of your own, why bother continuing to A look at the topic and B continue to derail from the subject?

Fairly certain it is longer than 1200mm. There isn't half a metre clearance either side to the edge of the roof.

On this day 2017 Got a bit hot at Burton Waters On this day 2018 A bit slower on the return run to Torksey!
-
It was only out in the bright sun for a couple of hours before it was put back in the shade.
-
No that was 21.78 not 12.78!
-
The flags would be flying the wrong way though. The loops are on the front not the back 🙄

To be honest I wasn't taking much notice but will assume panel voltage was at or similar to the maximum recorded today on the solar controller. So around 12.78v. No idea what the battery voltage was other than over 13.26v (Sterling Amps lithium) unfortunately didn't take any notice of that! Will take more notice next weekend when we are out. No point in the week as its parked on the north side of the house all week in the shade 🙄
-
Yes current into the battery.

We were led to believe (by the salesman and manufacturers blurb) that the solar panel installed on the van was a 150w panel. However today while it's been out having its spring clean, parked in full March sun it has been outputting a pretty much constant 7 amps as measured by the Victron solar controller and the Sterling Amps battery which seems to be too much for a 150w panel in March sun. There are no markings or makers marks we can see on the panel (although we assume it is CBE as everything else is/was) so they must be on the underside which we can't get at without unbonding it from the roof. Any other ways we can guesstimate it's size? It's a fairly big panel, the van is 2.3m wide (mirrors folded) and it spans most of the roof. Don't really fancy pulling it off the roof to find out!

On this day 2018 Torksey to West Stockwith
