+=== Solar ===
+We used solar panels on the river to cover our (small) power requirements.

+We also used small rechargable lights / USB chargers (link to follow) which were great in the evening as the light ws diffuse and they could also be used to "shock-charge" a USB powered device to bring it back to life.
