We would like participants to consider using an appropriate form of transport. By bike or donkey is good if you have the legs. Nearest train stations are Stroud or Kemble both approximately 6 miles from Westley farm. However, rural bus services are practically non-existent. If you are coming by car please consider sharing or giving a lifts to the car-less.

If you are coming by train, or are a car-less local and need a lift, or if you can offer a lift from Stroud or elsewhere please contact us at camp0@mundusloci.org

The entrance to the camp is through the gate on the left. The CAMP 0 site is a bit of a walk from the parking area but hand operated mono-wheel luggage transportation systems (wheelbarrows) will be available for getting your kit to your pitch. .  Please seek advice from someone who knows before pitching your tent.

On Friday evening please bring food to share for evening Potlatch Picnic. There will also be soup available for a small fee from the café bar.
Saturday and Sunday breakfast and Saturday evening meal will be provided at no extra cost, but there is no such thing as a Free Lunch. The Café/Bar will provide reasonably priced lunches, or you are welcome to bring your own food.
The ‘Free Beer’ is ‘Free’ as in free speech only. But we know we are all more than happy to support the wonderful Stroud Brewery with cash. Other beverages will also be available from the bar.
