Canterbury Climate Fair - 15th + 16th May

Canterbury Greenpeace are organising a two day Climate Fair on the 15th & 16th May - Driftwood  will be playing there (probably on the 15th) and many of our friends from Deal Friday Folk Club are doing sessions. More details to follow...

The Climate Fair will run from 9am to 5pm on the Saturday and from 10am to 4pm on the Sunday.
There will be campaign stalls, entertainers, Fairtrade and organic produce stalls, and displays stretching along The Parade and St George’s Street between the ancient clock tower and historic Rose Lane.

The long and winding (and very muddy) road.....

The Roadie completed his ultra run of 50miles - the Not for Nothing Fifty - on Saturday with his mate Simon from Deal Tri. Lovely run, really nice countryside and we were (comparatively) lucky with the weather. Much respect for the Walkers in the LDWA - some we past at mile 10 came steaming past us at 45miles. Well organised by Norfolk & Suffolk LDWA - probably spent far to long at the inviting checkpoints. Got a lot harder once it got dark, especially on a long section thru the woods - we got lost big time and ended up doing nearly an extra 6miles.  I was not in my happy place on the last 3-4miles thru somme like fields at the end. Big thanks to Si - would not have liked to have done by myself.
