Since the first few weeks of the march the walking has got a lot easier. But today it felt like we were back in Scotland. A supposed 15 mile day turned into 21 miles, with two steep climbs at the end.
There were differences. This time Rosalia from El Salvador powered us up the hills at the front. The hero was Elisee from Burkina Faso, who joined us for his first day of marching today, and powered on all the way to Dursley. As we marched up the second hill, we returned to the song which had seen us into Dunfermline eight weeks ago: "We shall not give up the fight, we have only started."
Even if we get all the improvements we need in the climate bill, that is only the start of the fight or one days walking. We also need loads of government policies to shift us to a low carbon economy. The campaiging goes on and on. We need you to join us:
