No Fracking in Farndon: Photo report 1 - on the verge.
16-03-2014 20:27
Over 200 people converged today on the site of Dart Energy's exploratory drilling for coal bed methane (CBM)at Kingsmarsh near the village of Farndon on the English/Welsh border. Some have stayed (see camp requirements below). As well as locals from Farndon and neighbouring villages, people came from all over including Wrexham, Chester, Deeside, Wirral, Liverpool, Fylde and a large contingent from Manchester and the Barton Moss Protection Camp where a stay of eviction pending an appeal hearing has just been secured until at least 26 March. More on the Farndon site here and here.
These first photos show a few of us converging on the verge on our way to the event, billed as Fight the Frack, and doing a bit of outreach to passing motorists on the A534. More pictures of the main event to follow.

Chester & Wrexham Frack Off News: Today at Dart Energy's Drilling Rig in Farndon
14-03-2014 20:10
I thought I'd take a trip to Rowley Hill, Kingsmarsh, Farndon today, to check out and take a few photos of the site where Dart Energy is now drilling with a view to exploiting coal bed methane reserves, one of three sites in the immediate local area. Dart is experiencing fierce resistance to its extreme energy operations across the globe and is not doing well, reporting a loss of $32.7 million in the six months to December 2013, compared with a loss of $11.4 million for 2012.
This Sunday, 16 March from 1-5pm, there's a national demonstration at the site so I thought it might be useful to get an idea of how the land lies beforehand.

12-03-2014 17:10
FIGHT THE FRACK! is an opportunity to head Dart Energy of at the pass. They are drilling in Farndon (Mill House Lane - CH3 6NF) and have 3 additional sites ready to be drilled in the Cheshire/Wrexham area and one in Nottinghamshire. This is a chance to make it clear to Dart that they are unwanted here or anywhere. The time to act is now.
