Save The Trees Before Its Too Late!

Trees along the proposed LNG pipeline in Wales are being chopped at this moment, the imediate damage is the width of a motorway cutting a swathe through the Welsh countryside 200 miles long, then theres also "the not so imediate damage" that is occuring with our use of these fosil fuels and the affect they have on CLIMATE CHANGE!

I have been on many environmental protests but none as damaging as this project!
Newbury Bypass times twenty and you'll be close to the amount of damage!
Phase 2 only just got go ahead so time to stop the destruction!

TIME IS RUNNING OUT GET DOWN TO WALES BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!

Direct action BORRIS!

there is a camp already near brecon, along the proposed route.
once you're in brecon (no trains, only buses) its a case of getting the 63 bus to swansea.
get off at the first stop (Lanspyddid) and hitch or walk the 3 or 4 miles further along the road till you see the banner, (near a church called pen-y-bont)
even better would be for some more people to come and set up a new camp somewhere else on the route.
or lots of camps.


The protest camp is up in the trees in ancient woodland 4 miles west of Brecon on the A40 close to Bettws Penpont church.It is located at Ordnance Survey national grid reference SN9728728525.

The ancient woodland is scheduled for decimation by National Grid to clear a path for the 48" high pressure gas pipeline. The protesters aim to stop the destruction of yet more ancient woodland by National Grid and it's contractors.

There are over 15 people on site at the moment and they are requesting any donations. Please send supplies of all sorts, food, water, warm clothes and bedding, camping and cooking gear, wood, rope, nails, etc etc etc. They would also like any people interested to join them and show solidarity in this battle to save our environment.

About 5.30am doors slam. Voices complain that the intelligence only came through at 4.30. The Police have occupied the coast path before the Protestors who do not appear to have adequate local knowledge. Nor as secure an organisation. as took the Round houses or Kidwelly Castle.
