looking to go Off-grid UK
by ARINGOFBRIGHTWATER on AUGUST 3, 2011 - 3 Comments in I WANT TO GO OFF GRID

Medically retired but able-bodied and multi skilled,been living in a modern trailer with my dog for 5 years, scraping a living writing and from photography, living ‘almost’ off-grid and looking to move to somewhere I can go fully off-grid over a reasonable time anywhere rural and remote in the UK.

I have a limited income and insufficient funds to purchase so basically looking to rent either a small acreage of agro land or woodland or possibly share cost of renting larger land area or rent of small farm or collection of buildings suitable for off-grid conversion and independent living with like minded individual/s wanting to go off-grid and create a small self sustaining community subject to landlord/authority permissions.

I have my feet fair and square on the ground and not into any airy fairy warm and woolly religious community based nonsense, just a desire to escape the worst aspects of modern life while using some of the best modern green technology and permaculture ideas available.

So feel free to drop me a message

Hello Aringofbrightwater,

I have similar hopes as in a none dogmatic simple community would be my dream. Like yourself I’m not loaded, pay my way from bits of drumming, writing, whatever here and there. Trying to find myself a spot of land away from prying eyes to try off-grid/permaculture methods and learn from the results guide me not people’s preconceptions about what’s ‘fair’ etc. Anyway thanks for that, it felt gooood.

Hi.
How has this gone? Has there been much development and do you see much development in the near future?
I would be really interested to know!

Thanks
