Bradford route - Day 2 - Sheffield to Nottingham

Climate Chains at Sheffield station
Just about to depart from Sheffield train station

Today was very cold, but we had a lovely visit to Halfway Juniors school this morning. We found time for a swift half in The Anchor, Bolsover. There's a nice castle there, but we didn't see Dennis Skinner. We then encountered two climate change deniers half way up a hill. Their opinion was that 7 seams of coal proves climate change is natural. We suspect them of being ex-members of the union of democratic miners so are disregarding their theories at the current time.

We got lost somewhere near Mansfield and met up at the Badger Box where some members of the party were upset at being denied beer in the push on to Nottingham. On the outskirts we met a local cyclist who kindly took us right to the door of the Sumac Centre which has lots of books, good food, a bar, a guitar, free Internet and is the home of Veggies catering. Some members of the group are doing yoga on the beer soaked carpet . . . Tea has been drunk and everyone is OK.
