Powerpod goes to Sighthill - 21st July

After a lot of help from Martyn with van-driving and picking up the trailer, we made it to 'All Together in the Park' in Sighthill. There were heaps of circus rides, stalls selling things and people (with and without umbrellas). We were plopped in the middle of the field, which definitely had its advantages - everyone can see us - as well as its disadvantages - people only come across if they're really interested or we shout 'em over!

Harry Potter 7 came out today, so Morag kept taking well-timed breaks to sneak into the Pod for some reading... and Mel and Sara ended up joining her for a bit, running workshops from the hatch when the rain started going in the afternoon.
Twas cold! We were glad of the shelter of the Pod, demonstrating things by leaning out of the window worked pretty well.

A lot of the kids who came past seem to have studied renewable energy in school and knew heaps about the issues and the solutions etc - quite exciting!
