Few people could be unaware that the UK has experienced exceptional rainfall. It seems that the cause is global warming, which has resulted in the Gulf Stream shifting its position. The almost continual rain, punctuated by torrential downpours has led to flooding throughout much of the UK, most recently in the heart of the country.
There has been a great deal of media attention on major tourist areas such as Shakespeare's Stratford upon Avon but thankfully the town itself did not suffer too badly, the surrounding areas were badly affected, though the flood waters are beginning to subside and transport links are unaffected. This is great news for festival goers who are converging on Long Marston Airport, just outside Stratford upon Avon, for the
Global Gathering Festival, Friday 27 and Saturday 28 July, 2007. The organizers have confirmed that the site remains unaffected by the floods and that the festival is on. Come rain or come shine this weekend, Faithless, Basement Jaxx, 150 top DJs and 50,000 revellers will be partying at the biggest dance event in the world.
