First Days of the Walk

Just arrived at a B&B outside Ayr after three days walking. The Walk organizers happened upon our hostess while looking for a place. We have been walking through urban and rural areas. The first day was cloudy, the second rain all day, the third, cloudy then sun. Beautiful countryside with violet Rodie's everywhere, the color of my home. We stayed in a Church of Scotland in Glasgow, a Christian Reformed Church in Barrfield, St. Matthew's Roman Catholic last night. The CND hosted us with meals and a program, which we presented about nuclear disarmament and Foot Prints For Peace. I shared some Gandhi words. Around 45 miles in three days.

Today as we approached Prestwich, police sized us up by asking many questions about our trip and identities. Prestwich Airport has had many protests about the cluster bombs flown in from the US on the way to Israel to be used on Lebanon, also People were flown to Guantanamo through the airport.

All in all we have been treated very well. I do not know how often I will have access to the Internet in the next few days. At present, we have seven walkers, two from the UK, Two from Australia, three from the US. Numbers will increase as we get closure to London. Walkers come and go.

I understand that the Faslane 365 website has pictures of our arrests.
