PROTEST SITE ADVICE.

For all those people who haven’t been lucky enough to experience site life yet, there are a few things that you should be aware of.
Generally, site life is amazing, friendly, and safe, but on the rare occasion, people or products are found on them that are not desirable (as in any community).
It is important,to therefore, go with common sense and a clear head, knowing your surroundings and knowing the situation you are going into.
DO NOT take weapons on site, anything that can be used against others can be used against yourself, and generally it is frowned upon to arrive like Rambo onto a peace camp.
HARD DRUGS are not recommended, there is obviously the legal implications of having them (and the police often turn up on site), but also, it’s probably quite dangerous to be off your face whilst 50+ feet up in a tree house.
TAKE YOUR OWN SLEEPING BAGS, as on all sites, sharing is a lovely thing to do, but sometimes you can get skin complaints (such as scabies on SOME-NOT ALL) sites, due to the lack of washing facilities, which can be passed on via clothing etc.
ALCOHOL is great, we all like a drink, and often a site party is flowing with booze wine, but MIX YOUR OWN DRINKS, as nice as some people may seem initially, their intentions may not always be honourable, and things can easily be slipped into your drink.
Mostly, go with a GOOD ATTITUDE, everyone is welcomed with open arms on a site, they are amazing, joyful experiences, and I would highly reccommend anyone to try it!
Children are also welcome on most sites, but it may sometimes be advisable for parents to come to site alone first to see if they think the enviornment is suitable for their child.
In any case, STAY SAFE and HAVE FUN.
