Just Peace Walk from Iona to London

Last week, I gave my support to the Pilgrimage for Peace and Economic Justice which takes place between 19th May to 19th July. A group of campaigners are walking between Iona and London as part of efforts to get rid of Trident nuclear weapons from the UK.

 Walking through Helensburgh.

Arrival in Dumbarton, with minibus provided as back up.

In solidarity, I joined the walk on the 10 miles from Faslane Peace Camp to Dumbarton, on Monday 27th May 2013.

"A primary aim of the 2013 Pilgrimage is to focus national public attention on the Government’s proposal to spend up to £100 billion renewing the Trident nuclear missile system, while continuing to slash NHS, education and social welfare budgets, including vital financial support for some of our most vulnerable and disadvantaged people and communities across the UK."

It was a wet day, but I really appreciated the chance to get involved.
