Scottish climate camp bike caravanThe camp for cli­mate action is already hot­ting up. Lit­er­al­ly.

The bicy­cle car­a­van head­ing down to Kingsnorth from Scot­land arrived in New­cas­tle Upon Tyne yes­ter­day. The group has made their way down from the Scot­tish Bor­ders in blis­ter­ing heat. They arrived look­ing hap­py and a wee bit sun­burnt.

The group plan to cycle to to the camp for cli­mate action call­ing at some of the u:k’s loveli­est beau­ty spots and some of the ugli­est pol­luters alike. See map on www.climatecamp.org.uk for details.
Unfor­tu­nate­ly one of the rid­ers took a tum­ble in the Scot­tish Bor­der region and has frac­tured her elbow. The bicy­cle car­a­van and the injured rid­er are deter­mined to car­ry on and to con­front E‑on and the UK gov­ern­ments coal fired and nuclear ener­gy pol­i­cy which is spon­sor­ing cli­mate chaos.
