2009 Festival: Three Men in a Float & Slow Living at Foyles
The Mighty One
As pioneers in the art of slow travel, Dan Kieran, Ian Vince and Prasanth Visweswaran embarked on an unconventional 680-mile road trip across the UK. Their mode of transport? A 1958 electric milkfloat.
The float was christened ‘The Mighty One’ (after Che Guevera’s motorcycle), and required eight hours charging time for every 20 miles. Dan and Ian talk us through their remarkable adventure.
The event on Tuesday 28th April 2009 begins with a chance to meet Bruno Contigiani, director of the Italian organisation the ‘Art of Slow Living’ who will talk about his vision of slow living as a route to happiness.
