environmentally friendly tipi holidays on the Llŷn Pennisula, North Wales

Facilities

• Toilet

This is one aspect of outdoor life that can put a lot of people off completely. We were keen to use a composting toilet, but became aware that many people wouldn’t want to use some of the more basic designs. That’s why we’ve invested in a state of the art composting toilet from Sancor. The Envirolet® DC12 is a Waterless Self-Contained Composting Toilet system which uses dual 12V fans to create ideal condition for composting. From the users point of view, the toilet is a robust plastic construction, which is easy to clean and sterilise, and has absolutely no smell. If you want to know more, go to Envirolet the company who produces these toilets.

• Shower

The shower is fed from a 120 litre mains pressure hot water cylinder. The water is heated by solar panels and by the wind generator via an immersion heater. This system gives a surprisingly powerful shower, and a generous amount of hot water. It should be noted however that larger groups will need to be careful not to exhaust the hot water before everyone’s finished.

• Barbeque

A good days fishing followed by a barbeque of your catch is hard to beat, so there’s a barbeque at your disposal. All you need is charcoal. We had a very successful spit roast leg of lamb last year, which we would be happy to try again if people are interested, and we’re also hoping to build a clay oven and fire pit oven this summer.
