Camp Titnore
The 4th Christmas and going from strength to strength thanks to your help.
Titnore Emergency Action (TEA) set up a camp in Ancient woodland off Titnore lane early on Sunday, 28 May 2006 in an audacious dawn operation to save the trees from being felled by developers and despite a High Court order to quit campaigners are still there. However your help is urgently needed to maintain this camp, please visit it today to say hello and support those who have suffered great hardship in their determination to save this important piece of English countryside for future generations to enjoy. Please remember to wear old clothes and waterproof boots if wet, and don't make to much noise as the land owner is 92? years old and needs his sleep.
DIRECTIONS:
Here are 2 ways of getting to the camp.
1. By train.
By Car etc option 1 (another option at the end)
Park in Titnore Way (not in the lane or near the camp) and follow directions in the last paragraph.
2 However.
If you're coming by Bus, live locally or worried by the traffic along Titnore lane there is still a route in from Durrington or Northbrook.
Trouble is Tesco have prevented access into the field from their car park and now trashed the wooden bridge at the top of Fulbeck Ave. They have also erected fencing to prevent any access into the field from that direction as well. Not only has this prevented an ancient Right of Way from being used, it has also severed access between the communities of Northbrook and North Durrington etc.
From Northbrook it may still be possible to climb over the concrete blocks at the top of Fulbeck Ave but you need to hack through brambles and watch out for flooded potholes.
If you want a safer route try this: By train get off at Durrington station, (if coming from up country remember to ask for Durrington near Worthing as there are other Durrington's) walk north about 150mtrs to the Strand Parade shops and catch the 'Pulse' bus that stops every 10 mins or so (but hourly? Sunday's) around the corner at either end of the shops . Take that bus to Tesco store New Rd West Durrington. Note. There are several Bus stops at either end, check the time table to make sure you're catching the correct Bus.
When you get off the Bus at Tesco see the small roundabout ahead and walk straight over it and you're in Tasman Way.
Walk to the very end and turn left into the field. There's a crossing of path's in 50mtrs walk straight over and into the next field. Ahead there's a hedgerow + some trees, head for them and into the last field via a gap in the hedge (note the track across the field in the link below). Once in you should see tree houses or other structures in the distance.
This link should give you some idea of the routes. A= the entrance from Titnore Lane (A2700) B= across the fields route from Tasman Way.
By Car etc option 2 and safest.
Park at the top of Tasman Way.
Remember to wear old clothes and waterproof boots / wellies if wet.
Please note. If you get lost DON'T knock up local residents for directions late at night. Their support is important to us.
