Is there anywhere at the Moot that I could plug in a charger for my camera? I can charge most things off the solar charger unit that I carry, but it's too lower voltage (5v only) to feed my camera charger.

Cheers

Nope!

There is no permanent electricity supply for the entire site - there is a generator that gets used for specific times but it is expensive, dirty and noisy, so seldom used.

Do you have access to a vehicle based invertor that can be plugged into the car?

Sorry to the OP but this looks like turning into another Great Bushcraft Biscuit thread of a year or two back. :D

with Jaffa cakes is it just the Mcvitties ones or are other shop brands [counterfeits??] acceptable. Is there a non- destructive test to tell the difference?

That seems a fair price, not that I'm coming but what is the jaffa cake exchange rate for Scottish currency?

I'm partial to a tea cake, 1.5 tea cakes = 4 Jaffas. So give me 2 tea cakes and you can have 2 chocolate fingers change.
