| About It was quite a few years ago when I first had the idea that I wanted to build and run a 100% solar powered website. At that stage unfortunately, solar panels were still very expensive and there was also no suitably low powered PC hardware for the web server. Thankfully since then, solar panels have reduced in price, the Raspberry Pi mini PC has come along and my interest in hiking has provided content. |

| There have been a few iterations of the website and solar setup. Currently it is 2025 and the site is now hosted on a raspberry Pi 5, powered by a LiFePO4 battery. This site consists mainly of information relating to trekking, camping and outdoors but also contains all the geeky information relating to the actual solar project itself and the web server that hosts this site. |
