HELP URGENTLY NEEDED TO HALT DESTRUCTION AT BLACKWOOD

Clearance work at Blackwood has steped up a gear this morning. A cordon has gone up around the Ancient Woodlands and they've just started cutting the big trees! Loads more baliffs than before and police on site watching construction work for the first time. Chainsaws getting very close to Jordan camp. More people urgently needed to slow down cutting of trees and build and occupy defences.

BASIC DIRECTIONS- bus to blackwood from Cardiff or Newport (closer). St davids wood visible on skyline on right hand side of valley (if you are coming from Cardiff- on left hand side if coming from the north) – it’s a 15 min walk from blackwood high street see directions below. Driving- along high street, find the Asda on right hand side of road-take back road straight on at a couple of roundabouts- find the rock and fountain pub, take road up the hill past the pub up to old railway line. Walk left along track follow the yellow jackets trail of destruction, camps on the right in lovely trees. Better directions exist on other postings but its not that hard to find honest!

these directions are confusing

I find these directions very confusing; ASDA is at the other end of town from the Rock + Fountain! A better idea is to ask directions to the Rock + Fountain, then follow the directions from there, ie:

head up the hill (with the R+F on your left) and take the little residential street on your left just as the road curves right (near the top). You'll soon see the disused railway track on your right. Follow it in the same direction you've been walking, until you see Kerry camp on the bank above you. For Jordan camp just keep going a bit further.
