G8 Summit Rally - 2nd July - who's with me?

my mate is draging me and three other croneys along.. all we know is we will arive on the 1st on train and leave on the 2nd or third, non of us have any knowledge about the city or anything. Anybody have any tips on if there is anyplace to crash, park benches, dark allys etc

 

your best bet maybe heading out of town to cazmp at faslane or bilstone if you dont mind helping out a bit?

 

No sure thing we would help out, is faslane or bilstone near to the actual city? as in a bus drive or somthing?

 

well, not been to bilston yet, but faslane is a bus ride out of edinbrugh, can't remember which one... give em a ring? 01436 820901

 

Its nearer Glasgow, im pretty sure.

 

well they're not that far part... but most people went through edinbrugh last time. Although I drove so meh dunno

 

I'll be for July the 2nd folks.

 

Won't be going up to Edinburgh til July 6th now I think, as I am the lucky owner of two Live8 tickets. So I'll be there for the 'Final Push' I suspect. If you guys are still up there, that would be cool.

*PLUG PLUG PLUG* If anyone is at all interested in coming to the amazing Black and White MPH Ball on July 8th in Harrogate, please doooooooo!!! It would be nice to see how you dirty hippies scrub up

 

Im gonna be doing hands off venezuala work on the ralley. Its just down the road for me

 

i found this guys

i think we might go there for accomedation

 

I've tried for the "Eden Project" Gabriel & N'Dour "Connecting with Africa".

 

ha ha ha!! I can't believe that the council are shipping all the protesters to the 'hard' areas of edinburgh, sitehill and nidre...rediculous when we go on about tourism all the time and making people welcome to the city....

but all the same really rather humerous!

How to get to Bilston

How to get to Faslane

Faslane isn't exactly Edinburgh, so if you're doing a protest crawl, plan for a bit of travel.

 

I'll be there...

 

Yeah, the council are being really bitchy about where protesters can go. You could try round arthurs seat (queens park) so long as you stay away from the palace end. Thats pretty central. Im definately gonna be doing hands off venezuala, so come speak to me about it if you're want, as its a worthy cause. The monday protest looks good, as it has no planned route and is purely spontanious. Its also good as its dissents, not make poverty history's, as they have ran one hellashitty campaign.

 

I might go, I might not, I'm not sure yet ... if I do go I'll just plot my bus up in a layby somewhere.

As long as I've got somewhere to shit I'll be fine

 

Bugger it's the 2nd today isn't it?

 

It's the Alternative G8 tomorrow... so all's not lost! Get your arse in gear and get up here!

It's sunny too

 

monday is the anarchist prosession. Speak to guys at hands off venezuala at the alternative summit tomorrow, and see if you can find a guy called pablo. he's really cool.
