Never tire of walking round this place. Cold War relics gradually being overtaken by nature.

"The camp was most known for its non-violent direct action, including women ‘embracing the base’, chaining themselves to and cutting the fence, staging ‘die-ins’ and organising blockades."

Maisie Jepson (@girlinthewrongera.bsky.social) on women's protest at Greenham.

Was too young to do the peace camp, so will have to settle for parkrun 40+ years on.

Can’t believe it’s 42 years ago. It was a cold damp day but we were kept warm by sheer exuberance. #GreenhamCommon

A remarkable, powerful movement.

I lived at #FaslanePeaceCamp for almost 2 years, way back in the 80s, with occasional forays down to #GreenhamCommon #PeaceCamp

The camaraderie and kindness was meaningful and transformative.

The cause was - is - essential.

It’s the soup wot dun it, and the mother’s absence at GreenhamCommon and her affair with the lecturer. It’s always the mother’s doing. #TheArchers

The @greenhamwomen.bsky.social story must never be forgotten. 🕊️☮️☢️

Too often women’s history is airbrushed away when we should be learning from it.

"ON [12 Dec] 1982: 30,000 women form a human chain around RAF Greenham Common in opposition to the deployment of US nuclear cruise missiles. The historic 'Embrace the Base' protest was one of many non-violent actions at Greenham and other military sites across Britain during the 1980s"

I'm old enough to remember when, after seeing a headline like this, thousands of women would block the camp.

#GreenhamCommon #PeaceCamp played a significant role in getting US Cruise missiles removed from British soil in the 80s. Would such a protest be possible now? I don't know.

Lovely to see and photograph bucketloads of these furry little dudes and dudettes all over Greenham Common yesterday at 6am. Hard to tell but (images 2 & 3) are only about 15cm (6"'s in old money) possibly their first day out. 😍🥰 #wildlifePhotography #rabbits #bbowt #greenhamcommon #wildlifeimages
