Climate Camp Watch out the vikings are coming!

At least eight activists from Gothenburg and I don't know how many from the rest of Sweden are going to try and make it to the camp. There is one quite large problem, Ryanair. Over the last ten years or so Ryanair has flown between Gothenburg and Stansted with ticket prices so low that they have succeeded in stopping all ferry traffic between Sweden and the UK. Boat was, for quite a long time, the traditional way of visiting England for Scandinavians. Those of us with a good credit rating could get a bank loan to cover the price of a train ticket but that doesn't appeal so its out with the thumbs, and a simultaneous middle finger at Ryanair.

Due to the constraints of hitch-hiking the Swedish group will almost certainly not arrive in a group but we're on our way. See you there! Anyone reading this who uses a car please keep you eyes open for hitch-hikers in Denmark, Germany, Belgium and northern France, it could be us.
