A group of activists claimed a piece of land near Faslane Naval Base in 1982, in opposition to Britain ‘s nuclear weapons.
26 years on, the camp is still at the forefront of anti-nuclear activism in Britain .
Last year the Camp hosted a year long campaign, faslane365, which brought together people from all over the world to the west coast of Scotland to take part in constant blockading of the entrances of the base,marches and generally making our presence felt. F365 brought together people of all ages an cultural backgrounds, to collectively highlight one of the most pressing issues for all humanity.
This year the camp aims to keep up the fight and has events planned throughout the spring and summer;
As a way of thanks to all who made F365 a success and an opportunity for those who missed out, the camp is hosting a
