A fun bike ride with a difference! Come and see how our beautiful countryside is being affected by the oil and gas industry. #TourDeFrackUK #DontDrillTheWeald

Awesome new video from @SoapboxEN about the TourDeFrackUK and other bike rides that took place around the country this summer to raise awareness of the danger that #fracking poses to our beautiful countryside: https://t.co/POhe29J99s Here's a taster...

Did you enjoy the TourDeFrackUK earlier this summer? Then save the date for @frackfreesyorks' LE TOUR DE FRACKSHIRE on Sat 22nd Sept from 7am-6pm taking in the proposed & current fracking sites in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire. 3 routes of 90, 30 & 5 miles each.

[Frack Off London @FrackOffLondon]

Fancy a #bikeride this weekend? Then pop along to Maple Farm on Preston New Road in Lancashire, PR4 3PE at 11am this Sunday & show some solidarity with those opposed to #fracking by riding from Cuadrilla’s shale gas site nearby to its proposed next site at Roseacre Wood.#WeSaidNo

[Frack Off London @FrackOffLondon]

If you've heard about the #earthquakes in #Surrey and want to learn more about the geology of the Weald / the UK & unconventional drilling / #fracking, then check out this informative talk by @Prof_Smythe : https://t.co/sYXYqZVZN7 #DontDrillTheWeald #KeepItInTheGround #GoGreen

Good news! After local concerns were raised about the unusual seismic activity in #Surrey recently, the British Geological Survey have decided to set up two monitoring stations in the county to gather more information about what exactly is going on there. #DontDrillTheWeald https://t.co/ztErNPSXgr

Here's a lovely video featuring Connie Whiston, one of the 6 local women going to court to stand up against UKOG's injunction: https://t.co/DaFDL5XHxq. PLEASE COME ALONG TOMORROW at 1.15pm at 7 Rolls Buildings, Fetter Ln, London EC4A 1NL for just a few minutes to support them.

Exactly why the UK cannot be a "climate leader" while also backing #fracking https://t.co/mgnJaitDeF

This inspiring video shows that if you're fighting to stop #fossilfuels & stem the flow of carbon into our atmosphere then you are not alone but one of millions of people across Europe & the world who are standing up now to combat #climatechange #KeepItInTheGround #hope https://t.co/TGYvFihZ7j

A movement is growing to stop fossil fuels across Europe. From coal mines to gas pipelines and fracking to drilling, people are saying "not here, not anywhere".

Is a representative from the Oil and Gas Authority going to go and check that what UKOG told them is in fact true - i.e. that they have not begun flow-testing / drilling at Horse Hill prior to these earthquakes? https://t.co/gHLvuZCsj0

Second Surrey earthquake in a week ‘not normal' https://t.co/gdHwBssrUe

[TourDeFrackUK @TourDeFrackUK]

After earthquakes started happening in Blackpool near the Preese Hall drill site in 2011: https://t.co/A2asFlEaYg the BGS concluded "Earthquake occurence strongly correlates with the injection of fluid..." Cuadrilla only admitted to the connection 6 months after the earthquakes.

[TourDeFrackUK @TourDeFrackUK]

The BGS said they can't say if the #earthquakes are connected to drilling or not, UKOG claim that they haven't started their flow-testing, BUT the BGS do say that there have been "NO OTHER INSTRUMENTALLY RECORDED EVENTS IN THE REGION IN THE LAST 50 YRS." https://t.co/Dbgt1t2Nwx

[TourDeFrackUK @TourDeFrackUK]

Back in April UKOG said there was no connection between drilling at Horse Hill and an earthquake that occurred in that area (see @ruthhayhurst at Drill Or Drop https://t.co/y9EFOoDoJ0) - now that they have begun flow-testing at Horse Hill, there have been 2 more earthquakes!

[TourDeFrackUK @TourDeFrackUK]

Flow testing began at Horse Hill around the 27th June (https://t.co/dFDUzSiM5K) - now two #earthquakes, a danger often associated with unconventional drilling / #fracking, have occurred in Newdigate & Charlwood on 27th/29th June. (https://t.co/3KCpPgwZJt) Is there a connection?

Watch this video made by Ross Field about Leith Hill Protection Camp where he interviews the camp's residents about the danger that drilling for #fossilfuels poses to this area of outstanding beauty & to the UK: https://t.co/urFKxPusZf … #KeepItInTheGround #DontDrillTheWeald

You don’t have to move mountains to make a difference - each action, no matter how small, has value #UnitedResistance #ReclaimTheFuture #FrackOff #FrackFree

Lancashire is alive with the sound of music! This musical piano says #FrackOff, sun is all we need 🎵 #ReclaimTheFuture
