4. Travel information
---------------------
Aldermaston is just off the A340 approximately a quarter of
a mile from Tadley. nearest motorways are M4 (junction 12)
and M3 (junction 9)

There will be no trains between London Paddington and
Reading on the 23,24 and 25 of August. There are trains
from to Waterloo to Reading, though 40 minutes longer.

From Tadley : Walk towards the base (if you've taken a bus
from Reading/Basingstoke, walk back as the bus goes past
it) and to the left for one mile. Follow the fence and you
will get to the camp.

Buses from Reading train station: 143 or 148. Get off in
Tadley (See above). Link for local buses :
 http://www.reading-buses.co.uk/tt_reading_2/143_148_149.htm

Buses from Basingstoke : Number 44a. Get off in Tadley
(see above). Link for local buses :
 http://www.carlberry.co.uk/rfnshowr.asp?R=5196

Trains: Mortimer is about 8 miles away. Aldermaston about 5

National Express stop Theale (Savacentre). This is about 8
miles from the camp. There are NO buses to the camp from
here. Best you can do is hitch towards Newbury on the A4
until you get to the A340 turnoff, then hitch up the
A340 - this goes past the camp (you will see the fenceline
way before the camp).

If people get really stuck they can call the RTB phone and
see if someone can rescue them - but no promises as we have
few vehicles. The RtB phone is 07887585721.

See you all this weekend !
