is Huw one of the ' Kingsnorth 6 ' ?

[Brian Nolan]

I see Huw was not out on Saturday , maybe he was preparing his defence ? ;

On Monday, six brave Greenpeace souls will be appearing at Maidstone Crown Court for the start of a trial centring around Kingsnorth power station, coal and climate change.

In October last year, a group of Greenpeace supporters took a personal stand to protect the environment by climbing 1,000 rungs of a ladder to the top of a 200m high smokestack at Kingsnorth coal-fired power station in Kent.

Now, the Kingsnorth Six - Ben Stewart, Emily Hall, Huw Williams, Kevin Drake, Tim Hewke and Will Rose - are being prosecuted for criminal damage and trespass. Read more about the six defendants here.

The trial could last for up to two weeks. While we'll be restricted in what we can write for legal reasons, I’ll be blogging from the court every day.

I recommend you sign up to get daily updates so my blog will be emailed directly to you. You can also sign up to the Greenpeace Twitter feed.

I'm sure you'll join me in wishing our intrepid volunteers the best of luck.

Thanks very much for being a part of Greenpeace,

Huw is "The Kingswood 1".
Well, he is when he's doing Croydon-Boxhill-Croydon before work anyway.

Huw Williams is 41 and divides his time between a village in Nottinghamshire and cruising Britain's inland waterways on a narrowboat. He studied agriculture, works as a traditional sign writer and is a keen caver and touring cyclist. Huw has been volunteering with Greenpeace for 15 years and his interests include rural crafts, wildlife watching and talking about it all to anyone who will listen.

Your cover's blown Huw!

OMG, It's an invasion.

[quote]Huw Williams has been performing Welsh step-dancing since the age of fifteen. Since then he has become a major force in the field of folk music and dance and his book on clogging is in its third printing. He won several titles at the Welsh National Championships and is in great demand with both radio and television in the U.K. His style of performance is unique, blending traditional steps with contemporary ideas, and as one expert said, ...is the best by far of anything that has ever been seen."

There must be another Huw Williams I reckon - I haven't done half of those things

I still hold the current land speed record .

[Mike I]

I am prepared to believe that Huw has done all of these things. Except cycle touring.

[Grahame]

Apparently I used to play wendyball for Southampton. Then I directed films including Beowolf and Alien Nation , and (spelled properly) I also illustrate books.

No wonder there needs to be a lot of me to go round.

I thought I recognized this name to...

"George Brent was part of an IRA Active Service Unit as early as 1920, carrying out IRA directives. He fled with a bounty set on his head by the British, although he claimed only to have been a courier for guerrilla leader and tactician Michael Collins."
