Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Practical work to be undertaken on the August bank holiday weekend in initial preparations for autumn and winter 2006 at Rossport Solidarity Camp, Glengad.
Much of the existing construction has been assembled quickly and using donated material and naturally is very ad hoc.
To prepare the camp for the winter some of the structures need to be altered while others will be dismantled as not being suitable for winter weather.
The work which we hope to undertake over the weekend is essential for the camp and a good opportunity for people to learn.
There is a long list of proposed work to be done before winter and people are welcome to come up anytime to help out with the campaign, picketing and building.
Work to be undertaken includes maintaining the grey water systems, constructing steps to reduce our impacts on the sand dunes, preparing, upgrading and insulating benders for winter, and insulating, lining, and bracing the communal.
Over the weekend we hope to tackle work on the protective steps and work on the benders.
The protective steps consist of constructing steps and a pathway from the main camp area to the toilets and camp entrance to prevent erosion of the machairs (sand dunes).
For this we will use timber we have recently skipped along with the abundance of flat well eroded beach stones in our location.
To prepare the benders for winter in our slightly hostile environment we intend to first remove all existing coverings down to bare hazel.
Then we will insulate the hazel using whatever materials we can accumulate for this purpose (blankets and duvets, carpet, underlay, etc..) these have to be held and lapped so that no gaps occur and no drafts are created.
After this we will cover our benders with second hand ex-army canvas (at the moment they are covered in polythene), before re-roping them.
A new door system will also be installed.
Work will also be done to the stoves in each bender, safety improvements in the chimney and installation of hearths. While there are now four communal sleeping spaces some smaller private benders are being planned.
Much respect to you and all at the Rossport Solidarity Camp.
Shell haven't got a fuckin hope.
Great, having missed the weekend just ended cos I was feeling pretty arthritic I now have another big weekend to look forward to.
Will try to get up in the interim, just been feeling under the weather for months.
Hope we can come up with sopmething to do locally too & it does wake the public up to what's going on.
