So Far So Good...

Gotta be quick as I'm about to be kicked out of Rotherham public library where I write this post...
Despite my increasing sense of foreboding in the run up to my departure, everything's going really well; my bike's still in one piece, my legs are doing me proud, my tent hasn't blown down yet and I've even managed to cook up a few culinary masterpieces on my camping stove. My first meeting went really well, I spoke to Gail at Hebden Bridge Alternative Technology Centre who was really keen to help with the project, even talking of possible future partnerships... From Hebden Bridge I cycled to Leeds where I visited Meanwood Valley Urban Farm. The guy I was meant to be meeting had inexplicably gone on holiday, but I got to speak to the manager who was very helpful and I had a nice time looking around the organic gardens, animal pens and sustainable 'EPICentre'. In the rain. After that I cycled to Selby, North Yorkshire, where I stayed the night (and made friends with an impetuous goat!) before heading to the borough of Rotherham, where I am camping at a beautiful site by a lake, getting a bit of r & r before my visit to Heeley City Farm in Sheffield on Monday. Let's hope no-one's decided to go on an impromptu holiday... Right, I really am being kicked off now... more soon...
