Day Fifteen and our final day - Hertford to London

Some of our route into London took us along the canals and we arrived in Hackney at just after 2pm to our final welcome reception. Hackney and Islington CND fed us veggie goodies and organised for Jean Lambert MEP, a Green Councillor Mischa Borris, a representative from Hackney PSC and another from Hackney Stop the War Coalition, to all speak in support of Mordechai and the ride.

Lots of cyclists turned up for the final stretch and gave our ride an extra boost as we wove our way through the London traffic chanting the song that we have been perfecting over the two weeks.

Downing Street was our next stop and there Kate Hudson, Chair of CND, and Louise Richards, Chief Executive of War on Want, joined us to hand in a letter asking Tony Blair to help secure Mordechai's true freedom. We also handed in a petition with nearly a thousand signatures we have collected along the way. Mark Thomas and friends were protesting about the right to protest inside the Downing Street zone and we gave them a big thumbs-up for their efforts.





And then on to the Israeli Embassy (or as close to it as we could be with the roadworks). Jeremy Corbyn MP rode along with us and more people joined us as we held an hour's vigil there with speeches from Jeremy, Kate Hudson and Louise Richards.


Our final destination was a room in the Kensington Library where we had a goodbye feast. Any sadness was cheered away by the sleight of hand of an alternative and very humourous magician (and also a rider from last year).


We've given out thousands of leaflets, we've sung our way into many towns and cities, we've met so many kind and supportive people (thank you to them all), we've talked and demonstrated. We will be thinking of Mordechai Vanunu often and he can be assured there are many people out there who believe in his right to freedom.
