Kevin Rennie has posted earlier on brilliant interview with Clive here, so I am sure you know the cause and the reasons behind Clive's arrival to London. Clive has agreed to meet for a coffee and discuss his current stage of the journey, as well as next step. We went for a walk and recorded this little conversation (in the wind, so I do apologize for poor sound quality!) later on heading of to his accommodation to check out the music he has created to express his commitment to the ideas he is here, in the UK, to stand for.

He arrived thanks to fundrasising, and continues to search for support - to provide the campaign with better equipement as well as means of communication. So if you have any tips, ideas or actual items you think you could live without but could change people's lives, do get in touch with me or Kevin and we will pass this info to Clive himself.

Tomorrow is Clive's big day. Feeling privileged to have met such a strong personality, brave and determined person I wish him all the best for tomorrow and trully hope that his trip will ensure the peace in his land.

We will keep you updated on the developments around Clive's campaign, just as Clive on his blog. In the meantime, check out the images of the mine on Panoramio - click through, navigate around the map and notice the beauty of surrounding area. How do you feel about a company destroying such a marvelous Island? I feel at least upset, is not enraged, and I do not even live there, I am not attached to it emotionally as Clive and his people are.

Good luck! All my thoughts are with you tomorrow!

    Big day tomorrow indeed. Keep us posted on how loud the “no more mining” would resonate! Good luck to Clive, too.
