As this Friday’s ‘Speakers’ Corner’ will be the last one for this year – and will take place only 16 days before Christmas Eve!! – let’s make it a BIG Yuletide one!!
As well as some brilliant local speakers, there’ll also be FREE vegan mincepies & sausage rolls on offer.
Now, even David Attenborough accepts that, to save the natural world AND ourselves, there needs to be a MASSIVE global shift away from meat & dairy farming to a diet that’s essentially plant-based.
And, who knows – given the time of year – there may even be a ‘Mystery Speaker’!!
For those not local, there are 2 main ways of getting there:
TRAIN: There’s a train station at Whitehaven. From there, you can bike; or there’s either a No. 2 bus that leaves from opposite Wilko, which drops off near the site; or you can catch a taxi from Morrisons (£6).
CAR: Please car-share wherever possible. The easiest way – whether you’re travelling from the south or the north – is to get onto the A595, signed Whitehaven. Stay on that road until you see a road off, with traffic lights [R., if travelling from the north; or L., if travelling from the south], signed: ‘St. Bees/Sandwith’ – this is Mirehouse Road. Travel along this until you meet the B5345: turn L. onto St. Bees Road; then, almost immediately, take the first R. onto Wilson Pit Road. The coalmine site is on the L., just after West Coast Composting (Wilson Pit Yard).
