Climate Camp

In 1381, Wat Tyler led the Peasants' Revolt towards London, assembling at Blackheath before demanding to meet the king. It all ended badly. But there remains a street called Wat Tyler Road along the edge of the Heath. This is the site of the current Climate Camp, and as it's just a mile or so up the hill from where I live, I'm hoping to get up there for a quick look round over the next day or two.

Meanwhile, here's a little YouTube video I found.

  2. While I admire their resolve to teach us all how to live differently,some of their ideas aren't very practical..especially if you live on a modern estate. Can just imagine what would happen if I installed an eco-loo in the garden..and solar panels are way out of our price range. However, we don't do too badly..we don't own a car, we recycle and we compost :-)

    Enjoy your visit..sorry for the long comment!
