[syfaslane365] 1st July booking and Fw: sheffield 365 accommodation enquiry

[jonathan baxter]

Dear Bob (and others),

Could you put me down (then raise me up) for the July 1st training day?

I also forward an email from Jane Tallents about the Faslane camping situation. I guess we need to decide who will be camping and what numbers. Maybe I could take a list of names on 1st July and someone else could do the same on 9th July - perhaps Kiri? Then I can give Jane the information she needs and we could begin to organise transport to the site etc.

All the best, JB.

Dear Jonathan

I've had a chat with Georgina who owns Peaton Wood. She is happy for groups taking part in Faslane 365 to camp there. The wood is 40acres and is where Trident Ploughshares camps for a fortnight each year. (see the camp briefing at http://www.tridentploughshares.org/article983)

October can be really lovely here on the west coast although it can get a bit chilly at night. There is a smallish field next to the road where you can camp although most people prefer to go up the hill a bit into the actual wood where there are lots of fantastic camping spots. A few people live there all the time 'helping Georgina with forestry work' and they will have compost toilets available and be able to give general advise and help.

You will have to bring your own drinking water although the water from the stream is okay for washing etc. There is an electicity supply and some mobile phones get a signal. There is obviously lots of firewood!

You would need to leave someone guarding your camp while people are away. Things have occasionally gone missing but local tensions might be increased with this escalation in our activities so its best not to leave everything unattended.

It would be really useful if a couple of your group could come and visit during the TP camp and we can show you around and discuss anything practical.

Otherwise I'm happy to answer any questions.

in peace
Jane
