About Me

Camp Titnore is a protest camp situated in Titnore woods, Worthing, West Sussex. Its aim is to prevent the development of 850 new houses (75% of which will be unaffordable) and a new super-tescos whilst preserving the ancient woodland of titnore woods. For more infomation on the development and its disastourous consequences seeprotectourwoodlandCamp telephone: 0780 4245324Directions: The camp is in woods just north of "Somerset Lake", a fishing lake east of Titnore Lane. Best access is from the rear of Tesco's car park. As you leave the car park look straight ahead and you will see a SECOND line of trees in the distance that go from right to left, that's where you are going. (There might be a flag on top)The choice is yours, go across the fields or go left and around the edge of the fields. We go across the fields but either way as you get to the round clump of trees in the center keep them to your left as you pass, the camp is now only 20yds as you approach the next line of trees on the left.Tesco's in Durrington is served by no 3 + 3A, 4 + 4A and 10 + 10A buses from Worthing town center or Worthing central railway station. Nearest railway station is Goring by Sea, but both stations are on the main South Coast line with direct trains from Brighton, Portsmouth and London.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Peopel who support the camp!There are many ways you can support the camp. If you can come down and stay for a day, a week or longer it all helps.If you can come down just to offer a few words of support or to help out with practicalities on camp. If you could bring the camp supplies it would help greatly. Things needed at the moment include wood, blue rope, nails, food (preferably not meat or dairy), fresh water and 10mm polyprop rope, plus chains and D-locks. Paints and materials for banner making are also requested, plus citronella (mosquito repellant!) and tea tree oil. Loads of straw would also be useful for laying on pathways (so it doesn't have to be particularly fresh).Writting to local and nation papers. Contact infomation for local papers can be found at letters to local papersWritting to developers can also be a huge help for more infomation see here
