On the morning of December 27th, under cover of darkness, Under Sheriff Mr Coleman and pals crept into Allercombe and cut walkways before Zaro the dog’s ‘Arruga’ bark could be heard. There was little anyone could do with only five people on camp, most of Allercombe’s regulars having taken advantage of Christmas to visit friends and families for the first time in months.

People in the treehouses awoke and barely had time to put on their boots before climbers were unwelcome guests in their homes. Tunnels were quickly trashed and the whole thing was over before breakfast. A sad end to what was considered by many to be the most beautiful of anti-road camps.

On January 12th while people were away at New bury. Mr Coleman struck again and this time it was Trollheim's turn. Bailiffs, tunnelling experts and police entered the camp at around 3am and took nine hours to evict everyone. People had been more prepared than they had hoped and it was a struggle to remove people from underground lock on’s described by Coleman as “some of the best my specialists have seen”.

If by the time you read this Fairmile has not been evicted, have your bag packed and ready with warm bedding, eviction stash and whatever else you may need and be ready for the call out. If of course you can spare the time now then head down there right away. There is still fun to be had by all - even pixies and fairies! There are three compounds now on route.

The forces of darkness would never have the bottle to venture underground themselves and so they’ve recently recruited a scab pot-holer at £500 a day to assist in the eviction of eco-activists from defensive tunnels at Spiritual Roots at Newbury and the A30 camps. This person urgently needs to be identified so as to make their life not worth living in the caving community, apparently he is already very nervous about his identity being discovered. If anyone has a photo of said scumbag or if you have contacts with cavers/pot-holers please get in touch with both A30 Action on: 01404 815729 as well as the Third Battle of Newbury office on: 01635 45545.
