Fibre Walk

The first public Fibre Walk in the UK. We walked across the Cumbrian countryside plotting the line of a fibre cable and discussing the challenges involved in laying it. Led by Lindsey Annison (@digitaldales)

    Really excited about #fibrewalk tomorrow, now. We're going to be riding a vintage bus through Cumbria talking about the internet!

    The #fibrewalk has begun with a drive on a 1940s bus. I celebrated it by making my donation to @johnpopham for cantgetonlineweek.org.uk

    Quite refreshing being at a digital divide event and feeling completely excluded by the jargon. Bore hole, Tiller, water course...#fibrewalk

    Sorry about the paucity of #fibrewalk tweets. We have little connectivity. There will be lots of video eventually
