12.07pm and no text message. Come on guys...
FIT surveillance officers not wearing their gear. An officer told me he was in "normal patrolling uniform."
C05029 tells me "I know who you are. I've seen your picture in the Guardian."

C05029 adds "I've also seen you in Scotland Yard interviewing my boss." These guys are good!
And still the msg does not come #climatecamp
Wow. The face paints are already out. These people are seriously well prepared. .
FIT cops dressed normal, but wearing badge-size CCTV cameras attached to their jackets. Mmm #climatecamp
Marc Vallee about Twitpic the image of the FIT minicams...
Word is that BP/St James group have been told to go to Traflagar Sq - surely not there? More like 1st decoy. #climatecamp
Are we off? No, just a speech about the olympics. Not the stirring pre-battle stuff we need at mo. #climatecamp
Text from #climatecamp: "WHITE/BROWN: Head north over London bridge and take a tour of the city! Please stay together and keep it slow"
#climatecamp - so appears no specific location announced yet, but groups starting to move
We're off - on a 'ride round the City', announcement says. Next stop London Bridge.
200 people heading from St James to Trafalfar, 200 south of the river heading north. Bank standing still. #climatecamp
It's official: a cop and mouse dance through the city. Don't they know we have deadlines? #climatecamp
And we're off. With reggae blasting from sound system and bells ringing. 200 riders maybe.

bit.lyStill with the speeches... I have v low speech tolerance threshold. #climatecamp

It's a very law abiding bike ride. No red lights jumped. Sound system has thankfully switched from nosebleed techno to Bowie.

Aaargh still waiting. What for? The speeches have stopped however which is a relief. One camper has just read a poem...
In City now on bike protest, near Bank. Still no idea where we're going - or if those at front even know. A few supportive toots from dr ...
Other groups have already set off apparently. Presumably we have less distance to cover. #climatecamp
Climate Camp activists on the move as location remains secret

bit.lyWe're now heading north towards Liverpool Street. Lunching City workers look a bit baffled.
The sun's come out! But we are still waiting for the word... #climatecamp
Waiting (sunbathing) at Bank. The police response is v low profile here. #climatecamp
"We might be here a little longer" says woman with megaphone at Bank. Everyone woos. #climatecamp
First abuse I've heard: 'I've got some soap here,' yells cabbie. Worryingly he's looking at me as he says it.
Envy beginning to set in as we hear rumours of other groups charging around london. #climatecamp
Rumours that #climatecamp location is City Airport. Some corroborating evidence here
bit.lyA team of cyclists just drifted past the bank crowd...more woos. #climatecamp
Bank is moving... DLR from bank, getting off at the Cutty Sark. Isn't it burned down? #climatecamp
We,re off! Docklands light railway to lewisham. Long time since i went there...
We're heading east after crossing Tower Bridge. Where are we going? Docklands? Who knows?
Oh no false alarm. Sigh.
Hmmm. What's green in lewisham? #climatecamp
No! We,re off again. Still no idea where the camp is but lewisham here we come! #climatecamp
Heading south now. Is this a decoy? Otherwise we'll end up in Lewisham before too long. Have now stopped to regroup.
Seeing everyone on move, i'd guess there are about 80 to 100 people in this group, all filling up the train... #climatecamp
