On Monday, 4th of July, during the Big Blockade at Faslane Nuclear Submarine Base, the weather was quite hot, so some people spontaneoulsy decided to add some water based actions to the road blockades.

There are some pictures of the blockade from the South gate, as well as the base from the water.

The 2 kajaks invaded the waters of the base and were then dragged back to the beach by the water police (as far as I understood it, but I just inherited the pictures and was really tired that day!)
