Einladung Europäisches Rainbow England 2006

[Krishna]

We joyfully invite you to the 24th European Gathering in Yorkshire/England. The Gathering will start on Newmoon 26th July and continue till Newmoon 23rd August. Seedcamp starts NOW,so please come now, we need your energy to build up the camp. Bring as much as possible Tarps, Construction Materials, Poles, Pecks to build communal and personal shelters and Workshop spaces. Be prepared for harsh conditions on site as the land is spacious and dramatic but exposed. There is very little wood for building. So bear that in mind while packing.

The nearest major town is SKIPTON, from there take the B6265 to THRESHFIELD near Grassington. 30 meters past the service station in Threshfield, take first left into SKIRETHORNS LANE. Continue for 1/2 mile passing a quarry on the right hand side. At fork in the road turn right into WOOD LANE, continue for 1/2 mile and bear left into HARD GATE. Continue straight along this road until reaching a farm gate. Pass through the gate and WELCOME HOME……..
***There will be ribbons to guide your way.***

=> We respectfully suggest that:

– The Gathering will be drug and alcohol free
– There will be no vehicles on the site itself
– We bring in no weapons or plastic
– Dogs are strongly discouraged as sheep are close by
So if brought, keep them under close control and bury their
droppings
– There will be no buying or selling
– Gatherers use the recycling center set up on the site. Whatever we
pack-in we pack-out !
– We tread lighty on the land and return it as we found it when we
leave
– We try only to have fires in the kitchen, bakery, communal spaces
and the large central sacred fire
– Our Gatherings are non-electrical. All the energy needed is human
energy – self generated
– Thus we live in peaceful respect for Each Other, the Earth, the
Water, the Trees, Plants and the Animals
– Our Gathering is not a “free” Festival. Money is collected by the
Magic Hat after meals in order to buy food and supplies

For map look at:
http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=400000.872883145&Y=460000.494870637&width=700&height=400&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=h&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&keepicon=&zm=0&scale=100000&out.x=8&out.y=11
(Hint:rightclick on the map to save/print it)
But anyhow I find it crappy. (old fashioned, ad-polluted site, that want you to pay for things you get elsewhere for free or much cheaper)

So better look at
http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=54.073058~-2.046945&style=h&lvl=15
I find it is much nicer to use. Hold left mouse button to pan – zoom with mousewheel(or the keys num+, num-)
Click on ‘roard’ on the upper left corner of the map to switch to normal map view)

Hope that solved the small little part of the question How to get there.
For for me now the question is onhow to get cheap on the ‘island’.
going by car:
form germany(saxoina) is 1500km – fuel will be 150â?¬(or less:) if I drive alone.
With 2-3 ppl it would be about 40-50â?¬ for each of us but what makes it expensive is
the small way over the sea Calais-dover which will be 60â?¬ for the car (+ 10â?¬ per person).
The fary from Rottendam to Hull will save about 200km way but as it looks like it’s much more expensive than it should be(anyone know the real prices?).

Going directly by train:
from here to Skipton,UK via by “Deutsche Bahn” is also possible (18hour).
But so far I couldn’t get out the price 🙁

By Plane:
Seem to be the best way. http://www.ryanair.com offers flight from Leipzig(AOC) to London Stansted (STN)
for about 20-30â?¬ (plus 15â?¬ Fuel+Service change you have to add to all prices there)
Nationalexpress.com might with it’s special ‘Fanfare’ offer from londen to Leeds for 7 pound.
Let’s add 10â?¬ to move from LondonAirport to nationalexpress busstation + 10â?¬ to get from Leeds to Threshfield
And it will be about 80â?¬. Hmm so probably it’s not better than together going by car.

Well in leeds/bradford also is an airport but ryanair only flies there from Dublin…
…from Berlin(SXF) you can fly also to East Midlands (EMA) which is in between Leeds/Bradfort and London
