Manor Gardens Allotments in East London took part in Silver Surfers' Day 2007 on Friday 25th May 2007 by linking the allotments to the Interent by wireless link to premises in Clay Lane, about 400 metres distant.
A mast was set up at the allotments, 12 volt car and boat batteries used to provide power, along with some solar panels
The local network had half a dozen laptop computers, and map making seems to have been one of the activities of the day
Both Manor Gardens Allotments and Clays Lane estate are being cleared in July 2007 to prepare the way for the construction of the London 2012 Olympics site
