the problem with britain...too many laws,too many do-gooders and too many people trying to tell others how to live their lives nothing great about britain any more
Does anybody still travel today? It seems a shame to think that everybody nowadays is conforming to what is considered normal and living under the thumb of this oppressive government and brainwashing media and celebrity culture. I hate the the fact that I've missed out on such a liberated way of life and amazing experiences because I was born too late
some of us did what we did to ecape narrow minded fools.i guess its 2011 and nothings changed.narrow minded fools.was on road 20yrs.best times ever.....free the convoy
Remember this as if it was yesterday. We were hounded wherever we went by societies police and its still happening today. Look at how they treated the travellers at Dale Farm. Surely the world is big enough for everyone to live their lifes as they wish. I still have the scars on my head and arms from being dragged through a smashed bus window by the police at the battle of the beanfield nightmare. Society hasnt learnt anything about prejudice againgst travellers. Thanks 4 the memories : )
I lived with The Peace Convoy in 85 on Greenlands farm in Glastonbury. Its almost brought a tear to my eye seeing pictures of those wonderfull people that I met during that time and thank you LordMungo for putting your pictures on Youtube. Many Bright Blessings to all that live free in peace and harmony outside of the rat race. Blessed be from a now middle aged Wolfie!
A message for any Gypsy's looking for a site, there's a disused garage and plenty of parking space, this has been unused for nearly two years,, water is available. it's the old Holbay garage in Grundisburgh, Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK
i was 17 when i went to westbury. i was a bit shell shocked,seeing buses being dragged across the site(buses smashed up by the police) their bemused owners screaming why did this happen. police and army ( i think?)helicoptors above.it was like a refugee camp(in hindsight i suppose it was).britain has a strong subculture because we are so tightly governed .like the fellow says below g8 etc.they wont be able to stop us.its comforting to know
We were on the receiving end of The 'Peace' convoy in the beautiful, unspoilt Upper Eden Valley. Previous to their arrival I was always the first to defend the right of people to travel about whether they were New Agers or more traditional Gypsies - we lived near Appleby so they are very used to a transient population.
The new agers crapped and pissed in barns, left dirty needles by the river and their garbage, passed out pissed on the village green outside the pub.
@polotown1 Yes, I met a black man once who was a mugger, so obviously they all are! I cannot take responsibility for EVERY traveller that ever lived, some groups were awful. especially after the media labeled us as scum and attracted a lot of badly behaved drug addicts. The original convoy types were just as appalled by this behaviour as you, but it is simple prejudice to say you had a bad experience with a group of travellers so we must ALL be guilty! I left my sites pristine is all I can say.
@polotown1 Cheers mate i too lived on the road between 1984 - 1995, best years of my life, think the 94 cjb was the final nail in my travelling days, love the photos you've got never realy took any myself when was travelling still i regret that now, about to start uni now though, finally going to try and get inside the system and take it apart from the inside, years of banging on the door has failed so far......nice one
Oh I loved the NoWage Travellers, don't work for the man etc. happy to live off mummy and daddy or even worse the tax payers, don't work for the man but happy to take what ever benefit was going.
@MrTelboy1962 Most travellers worked fruitpicking and farmworking untill the arrival of gang bosses and cheap labour, or often in warehouses etc, but it's difficult to hold down a job when you are being (unlawfully) evicted and villified by Thatcher and the Murdoch press. There were also many ex-servicemen and women, and we held the view that if you are expected to die for your country, you ought to be able to live on a piece of it! Best go back to reading your daily mail bullshit.
Great collection of pictures. How things have changed. Had a bus myself at one time. I would like to get a gypsy wagon in the future but not just yet........Thanks great job...........
this really takes me bk to being a kid growing up on the road was really the best experience (besides the birth of my daughter). nothing will beat sleeping under the dj box at a rave and running round selling love cabbages i wish we had stayed in touch with all of the ppl we travelled with nothing but good memories if you block out the ones with the filth in them
Glad to find this favourited on abitofchange's channel - great choice of music; very appropriate, man. I had a lot of friends on the convoy, and would spend weeks at a time on sites, living in benders and staying on friends' buses, etc - great days, the best I ever had!!! So ta for the Upload ;)
Does anyone remember Trish the fudge is had a blue and white AEC Plaxton Panorama II called Lizard and before that she had a green Karrier Bantam. I would love to know if anyone remembers her or her family, thank you
thanks for the memory's been flickin thru the videos on here and my little 3/4 length bela vista coach keeps making an appearance bless, Joe i remember wango riley's well .I was on the road from 1984 until 1995 when i left to go to rehab ;) still miss it but not how messy it was for me in the end take care still if i could do it again i'd jump at the chance happy days
Great selection of pictures. Also reflecting my formative years. I think UK has changed so much since then. There seems to be no underground or alternative lifestyle being driven by young people. They seem helpless to conformity. But perhaps everyone feels like this as they get old. The golden age phenomenon.
brilliant upload, i was on the road 85-90 never did think to take any pics , not like i owned a camera, besides merrydown and a tong were the priority .
wtf? i live in the states. i'm 26 and ive NEVER heard of this. why, how, did it happen? does it still happen? this is awesome. is there a phenomenon like this here in the states?
@mrghastly Its really interesting to hear your perspective. I think it was of its time. And there are many who would say that the repressive response of the tory police at the time succeeded in crushing a movement. Though my friends who are climate activists describe policing that is 100% more aggressive than anything I experienced partying and travelling in this era.
@mrghastly how did you not hear of it i have no idea and yes there was alot of this sort of thing going on in the us i know alot of ppl i met after we came off the road who where on the road in the us not so sure about these days
great pics... the way things were!!! wheres it all gone.. pherhaps with this new condem"nation will force us all to raise our heads agin... if anyone out there knows of the where abouts of a lass called elli who lived in glasto town then ended up on iveythorn site outside street... 1991 ish.. let me know..

hi my name is natasha, came across this looking for peace convoy stuff, i was brought up on the road from the age of 10, i am now 39. My parnets went to all the festivals starting with stonehenge and going to all the little ones, then holing up for teh winter, does anyone remember SPICY DONUTS!! I was just a 10yr old when the fence came down at greenham common, i remeber it all like it was yeasterday
@TheNatashazak Hi Natasha, I expect we must have met somewhere..Who are your parents? If they have any photo's, I'd love to see them, maybe use them for the next vid. Full credit, of course, Cheers, Jim
Hi,you were ten when you went on the road and are now 39 i am 45 and was on the road from 1983 to 1998 was at stonehenge 83, 84, westbury hill (after beanfield massacre) cheltenham, telford, and the other places cant remember because i was too spaced out..
anyone remember Roger the Dodger?? and Rico who had a tequila bar and played Saxophone?? Wakey Steve? god so many people to be honest.. i do remember someone called 'Tasha', maybe it was you.
@TheNatashazak Hi ya Natasha, spicy donuts indeed, where you one of the kids sitting in the middle of the common when the riot squad surrounded us? remeber it well, my second festival.

I'm making a couple of new vids this winter, looking for contributing photo's if any one has any, particularly police actions. site scenes, people and vehicles...Get in touch if you have any!
@jumblymamba Used tobe jim n hev, when I was on the road, still doing th festies myself, mate, just me now, but it's good to be out there again...keep on truckin...
@edbemoon1 This is so true, used to be on the front line myself...But the wind is changing, mate, find me on facebook "jameson barnes" and check my status for "Reneglade free festival" . Keep th faith bro, tell your friends and be ready to move....
watching this video made me worry that everything has already happened........everything good and everything interesting. we now are only copies of a copies, lacking the authenticity. that is why free party scene is a shade of its own, a zombie walking nowhere
@MrKeg1234 Because of opressive legislation by the last tory government...It is now illegal to dance in the open air! The end of the free festival scene meant travellers were/are stuck on sites going nowhere for years...That ain't for me, but ironically I now work at legal festies, and it seems the police and government are now out to get these as well...We have to fight back, somehow!
is there nothing " little " luke doesn't make it on ? medievil brigands calender, i even think he's on that. he must be 30 ish now. sorry for the " little " reference. lovely days, if only i'd known what we had.
@hmsdauntless Yes, a very photogenic young man...My friends child, who grew up to be my friend, too..Not seen either in years...And yes, glorious untamed youth, him, and all of us, eh?
@deanosky Thank you so much for your well-thought out comment, mate...Took me a little while to find the right song, for sure...I miss those times like crazy, too, but am proud to once have walked among heroes....
AMAZING.... AM so proud to have been part of this movement.... needs to come alive again and I am very sure it will ... Just got to WAKE THE FUNK UP : ) xxxx
We all do, I think..chin up, hun,To you and all the others who helped to make it what it was, I'd like to say a big thank you..This video is in honour of you all.
I was born too late!! I'm 24 now and want to get out on the road in a house bus. No network of festivals or sites to support it nowadays though... :( Bollocks to it, I'm getting a bus, I'll see what I can do.
That's the spirit, mate! It's time for the next generation to grow some balls, stop hiding, you will be defeated one at a time this way...Be proud, organise, ten thousand people who want to party simply cannot be stopped!
@peanutworm most of us didnt av a clue where we were goin either mate...we just up'd n did it. ill not regret a day of my travelling life ever, since found out i Have Romany blood. Good Luck on yer Travels mate. Peace <3
Great photo's, it makes me realise how many people i didn't meet back then, some great trucks on display, I only recognise one or two on the big site shots. Keep the faith everyone, giving up is not an option. Happy times win through
glad some of us were together enough to take photos of those times...so much happens its sometimes hard to remember so thanks for the memory jog. got a funny feeling its all going to happen again soon, lord knows it needs to :~)
Couldn't agree more, this boring celebrity led monoculture has to be challenged, even if it's futile, so that rebellious youth might still have a place to rebel.
Them days looked amazing, man. I was born in '80, so I missed a lot of the good times when you could live out of the radar a lot easier without CCTV poking up your bum trying to spy on your rectum.
I'm sorry to hear that, many of mine were lost to police actions, theft, and just plain lunched out. I couldn't afford the film either, at the time, and things were often so hectic I didn't know or care where my camera was! still, at least there's a few around.. go to "traveller homes", your rig may well be on there.
wow mate this really reminds me of the travellers fied up at glasto, went up there every year from 92 on to the last free one in 99, great times. cool flames on your bus dude, love it
Thanks fellas, I know it must be strange to non-brits. The free festival movement and the new age travellers were a group believing in pot and peace and live music on disused airfields etc. We were targeted by our own government and press, the "Redskins" of our time.

Thanks fellas, I know it must be strange to non-brits. The free festival movement and the new age travellers were a group believing in pot and peace and live music on disused airfields etc. We were targeted by our own government and press, the "Redskins" of our time.
