My story of a 6 day/5 night tour of Cycling UK’s excellent Rebellion Way, a 400 km bike-packing route around Norfolk, ridden in the beautiful weather of early September 2023. The ride, around two-thirds of which is on roads and one-third on bridleways, runs through beautiful landscapes and is packed with fascinating historic sites.

If Africa is to meet its SDG-7 targets for clean, modern energy by 2030, and its people reap the health and development benefits, investment in LPG and other clean household fuels needs to be made now.
