Yesterday night 2 swimmers achieved to protrude into the submarine harbour Faslane. There they got arrested by the MOD- police and are still in custody at the moment. It is still unknown if they were able to do any actions in the harbour. They are expected to be released this morning.
Two activists have been chaining themselves to an wheelchair in front of the north gate of the Faslane Military Basis for 7 hours. But only for some time they were able to stop the whole traffic.
Another activist stopped the traffic by climbing onto the roof of a vehicle.
In the last days lots of workshops took place. For example canoing, swimming with special equipment, introduction to communication tools and dismantling military equipment.
Another main focus are workshops about information of the most important British military facilities and actions and camps in context with them.

The next camp will be at the "Reclaim the bases"-Camp from 22nd to 25th of august in Aldermaston. In Aldermaston british nuclear weapons are produced and inspected.
