Preaching to the converted

I spent last weekend at a festival in Cheltenham, Greenbelt, asked by Ben Whitehouse to give a couple of talks to the literature tent.

The route: On the TWM site, or as a video. The practicalities: Get a free daysaver. Add to your . Facebook Event. Upcoming Event. The inspiration: This is kind of inspired by Gimpo’s 25 Hour M25 spin.
