I too found it a very meditative experience, walking as a Red Rebel, and enjoyed the moments of complete stillness and silence. But the drums gave it just the right note of urgency and attention. And because it was more performance art than protest, it allowed more for open curiosity from the spectators.
Thank you for the link. I read the Guradian most days but missed that article. Meanwhile, spurred on by your visits to the 'your' river, I make the regular 30 minute walk to 'my' river, in a wild part of Portugal with only ruins with their 'past stories' of those who once lived and cultivated this zone/region -- and continue my journal of The River Speaks. Best regards, Josh.

A great way to make a strong statement. Will The Guardian notice on the weekly Sunday 'positive news' column?
The Guardian did notice, but not for long! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/20/chris-packham-joins-environmental-activists-in-mock-funeral-procession
