Do they all support us number 19

Bob Walter (Conservative) met us as we arrived in Blandford Forum and had his photo taken with us. After his words of support I asked him if this went as far as to voting for at least an 80 per cent cut in the climate bill. Bob gave the cryptic answer "I hope so". Sounds good - I hope so too.

I then asked him about including aviation. At first he responded that aviation is an international problem. I explained there are clear ways to assign UK emissions, after which Bob said he supported the need for aviation to be included in the bill.

If Bob is true to his word, that's a vote for making the climate bill stronger when it gets to the House of Commons.

Distance covered so far: 884 miles
