The extracts are published in the order in which they appear in the book, so you won’t get to the nitty-gritty of my journey around the UK off-grid community just yet.

The FIRST extract relates to how I personally got into this off-grid way of life – by accident of course – as is the way with all the best things that happen to us: You can read it here

The SECOND extract is about the way the grid developed in the UK – it was different everywhere – and how the planning system started. You can find it here

The THIRD extract is about my decision to buy a camper van (RV to you Americans). You can find it here.

The FOURTH extract finds me well into the tour of British of-gridders, visiting a commune in Devon which is under siege from angry grid-connected millionaire property-owners. You can find it here.

The SIXTH Extract is about one way of going off the grid in London, or any major city – on a houseboat. You can find it here.
