Nov 27, 2014Trevor Larkum2 CommentsBlog, Energy and Climate Change

[Continued from Part 1] The exit from Temple station was severely congested with crowds of people trying to move slowly out. We were herded to the right and towards the Thames and embankment where apparently the back end of the march crowd would be found. There was still some time to go before the march

On 21 September I had a bit of an adventure, travelling down to London to attend the People’s Climate March – my first ever protest march.

During the summer we took our longest ever single trip in the ZOE, from our home in Northampton down to Brighton and back in a weekend. We went down for a gymnastics competition on the Saturday in which my daughter was taking part. After the event was over, we had a good time walking around

Renault ZOE Range Record: 142 Miles

It’s a year since I managed to persuade my ZOE to go 122 miles on one charge so, with the weather being mild, it seemed like a good time to try for another range record. Previously I had aimed for driving to work and back (typically 38 miles round trip) twice, and then driving around
