this weekend's resistance gathering: Twyford +10

Road Alert! | 02.12.2002 14:13

A gathering of anyone who has been involved in grassroots resistance and direct action in the last ten years.

------------Twyford Down +10------------

***Please forward to all your mates***

This weekend is not a reunion. This weekend is not a conference. What we hope it will be is a gathering of anyone who has been involved in grassroots resistance and direct action in the last ten years.

A place to compare babies and beerbellies, a place to celebrate our dissent past and future.

Personally we would rather be somewhere warm, but Yellow Wednesday (the first major eviction of an anti-road protest camp) happened midwinter and some of us felt we wanted to mark this day, and in light of the government's new road building programme, there is stuff to be discussed and acted upon.

Come prepared to camp on St. Catherine's Hill, near Winchester, Hampshire,
Saturday 7th-Monday 9th December.

We're back, Re-awaken the Dragon, You can't Kill the Spirit, etc etc...

See www.roadalert.org.uk

Directions: from the M3 Junction 10 (Northbound exit only - so if you are travelling southbound go to Junction 11 and turn round), take the first turning to the left from the roundabout, signposted St. Cross. Go down the hill for a quarter of a mile and under an old brick railway bridge. There is a car park immediately after on your left. A footpath leads back under the railway and up the hill.

For non-road users?

And how do people get there without using "M3 Junction 10" and the carpark?

Is there access by train and/or bus?

Get off the train, then cycle to st catherines hill or get off the bus and walk there like I'm doing. It's not very far and is such a lovely walk along the river.
Show some initiative 'swampy' or dig yourself a hole for the weekend.

train or coach to Winchester, then ask directions to St.Catherine's Hill. It's not a long walk, and if you're lucky, you'll be directed along the waterways, then follow the directions as for to the car park (no ''), and up the hill
