We had made some cylinders that we had our arms locked together inside, and some flags and a lot of music. Much too early (for my beutysleeping) we went up and we got to the Faslane base around half past six in the morning, only two polices were at the north gate! But then we heard that the Finnish people (who were at the south gate) ended up with nearly hundred polices, so we understood why the north gate only had 2 of them left for us..

Early in the morning we took the bus from Glasgow to Faslane. We aimed at surprising the police by going there before them, which meant a short night. The Finnish activists came to the south gate only to have half of the group arrested, the other half came through though, and managed to put up the tripod and distract the police for quite a while. Now leaving them behind we, the Swedes, headed for the North gate only to find it all deserted but for two lonely officers. We managed to get out of the bus and put ourselves in position before the police could react and it all went very professional and efficient. The police looked dazzled by our resolve and it took them quite a while before they began to take us away. All the time the atmosphere between the officers and he activists was respectful and gentle, even if the police was firm in their attempt to take us away a quick as possible.
