Reposting this from 2021 - how I uncovered original documents from the trial of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605.

For the last few weeks I've been working on something exciting that I was sure would come to a dead end.

Today on Breakfast: How do you feel about Bonfire Night?
Love the fireworks? Hate the noise? Pets terrified?
And we continue our build-up to Bridgwater Carnival, one of the UK’s biggest Guy Fawkes celebrations.

A fierce debate for our times on my show yesterday: should we sacrifice farmland for power generation?
A huge solar farm is planned for Somerset farmland that could power 140k homes.
Should we prioritise food security or energy security? Can we do both?

Made it!
We’ve cycled the equivalent of Wells to Newcastle and climbed higher than Mont Blanc in six days 🥵
Thank you so much to everyone who donated. It kept us going through the intense heat!

Day 4: Roa to Fuentidueña 🚴🏻♂️
Today was supposed to be a shorter rest day, but once we arrived we decided to an extra six miles cycling up hill and visit a reservoir.
We then decided we wanted more pedalling and hired a pedalo.
Rested? No. Fun? Absolutely.

Some amazing views of the Cantabrians and Medina de Pomar yesterday!
After a tricky day climbing mountains, we’re spending a lot of today on an old railway line 🚂
