The Celtic-Safari Ecotopia-Biketour Crosses From Dublin-Clare 1st-14th Aug. 2002

An Annual event for the past 12 years, the Ecotopia-Biketour takes place in a different region of Europe each year. This year the Celtic-Safari Biketour will bring young people from all over europe to cycle from Dover (England, 10th July) across England and Wales to Dublin and on to Clare. En-Route we will promote grasroots solutions to climate change and sustanible transport and link with many local campaigns.

Cyclists from Ireland, Wales, England and elsewhere have been impressed in recent years by campaigns, along the route, as far afield as Estonia and Bulgaria. Biketour 2002 invites activists and cyclists to get involved, take part or help organise, whether their concern is Disarmament, Development, Genetic-Engineering or Road Traffic Reduction. Biketour participants would love to learn from seasoned campaigners in Ireland and Britain, exchange of ideas would no doubt be two way. If local groups would like to hear speakers from Serbia or Poland for example this could be arranged.

In order to use Biketour as a political tool we need to link with local campaigners along the route so any contacts would be much appreciated! We are particularly focused on sustainable transport but of course, we are willing to support other environmental/social campaigns.

We still need to find some camping places, roughly 50-60km apart:
Any suggestions considered.
