Bike to the Future! Sunday 17th April

If you like a Challenge, then the Green Party in North Devon is challenging you! If you respond to more gentle persuasion, then they invite you - to make the link between clean renewable energy and dirty old energy. Join them on a sponsored cycle-ride from the gates of the Hinkley Point Power Station near Minehead, to the site of the proposed Fullabrook Down Wind-farm near Barnstaple, via the site of the off-shore tidal power generator at Lynmouth for a picnic at 3pm.

According to Councillor Ricky Knight of the local Green party:

"the plan is to meet at the Leisure Centre car-park in Barnstaple at 7.30am when your bike will be put into a big van, along with you and we'll drive to Hinkley with the intention of setting off on our adventures by 10am. Then we'll take the coast road to Lynmouth and thence via Blackmore Gate to Fullabrook, near Marwood. The support vehicle will be right behind us; everyone will have maps and emergency numbers (plus their own mobiles, I hope) but we'll all more or less be sticking together anyway.


All proceeds will go to the North Devon Green Party's Election Campaign. We have been offered sponsorship from two local shops, which we will probably put into some T-Shirts with the logos - so, sign up and get a free T-Shirt!"
