Belgium rainbow Gathering 20 August – 18 September

_The village of Oür is located in the community of Paliseul, about 15 km from Bouillon in the province of Luxembourg, in the south of Belgium. On the E411 in the direction of Luxemburg, take the exit 24 and then take the direction Maissin. In
Maissin, go to Oür. In the village of Oür follow the road going north (Rue de Porcheresse) . Do not go over the bridge crossing the river but follow straight on (Rue de Lesse). The road makes a turn to the right, in between some stables, follow left (do not take the road going straight on), at the next junction take left road where you leave the asphalt road. A little further on is the parking place. Please leave your car there, and follow the signs through the forest, along the river Oür, untill you get to La Toup Toup. It takes about half an hour to walk down. Don’t drive your car down to the camping site, the road in the forest is pretty bad._

_Public transport : the nearest train station is Paliseul, this is about 8 km from Oür, from Oür to the gathering (La Toup Toup) is another 3 km. There is –unfortunately- only one bus per week going from Paliseul to Oür, on thursday at 12h40 (line
6 ). If you can, take your bike on the train, or hitchhike._

England Rainbow Gathering 1 – 22 September

The English are traditionally quite crap at getting gatherings together but we have a good feeling about this one.

By Car:

_The parking is situated on “Highgate Road,” half a mile South from Forest Row
Joining the A22 (Lewis Road.) After one quarter of a mile up “Highgate Road”
you will find a public parking place on your right. From here you can either walk
along the roads, or across the golf course. Once you reach the A22 you will need
to cross over the road and follow the Rainbow signs._

By Public Transport:

_The nearest train station is “Crowborough.” It is five miles East from the
Gathering. Although “Forest Row” has no train station there are bus services
running to and from many destinations. To see timetables visit traveline.org.uk_

Israel Rainbow Gathering 3rd October – 3rd November

Info here

The Israeli Rainbow will be in the Arava Desert in Nahal Nemiya. It’s a great chance to be in the desert for a whole month but bear in mind that Israeli rainbows aren’t what they were as the whole country and their dogs come along at the weekends and trash the place.

Directions : on the Arava highway 1.5 kilometers north to Ein Yahav, turn west
to Nahal Nemiya.

The seedcamp will start on Friday, the 3rd of October
