Bring anti-mosquito gear and ammo!

When we gather there with 50-100 people and the dumpsters are already used by other squads, that might become a problem. Especially because buying food in Norway is so fucking expensive. I mean really....fucking expensive.
 
 
== Martinska near Šibenik in Croatia ==
 
The place used to be a car camp place 30 years ago, then it used to be a venue for a punk festival, but now it's totally empty. It's hitchable. The nearest supermarket is in Jadrija, some 50 minutes on foot, although if you walk halfway to the crossroads, Jadrija people are quite willing to pick you up. Also, ppl from Jadrija are used to seeing campers there, thanks to the punk festival that was organised there some 15 years in a row.
 
It's swimmable, it used to be the most popular swimming place for people of Šibenik before 1960s.

I don't think there is a big chance of you getting kicked out because the place is unused and kinda abandoned.
 
Here's the map: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/43.7303135,15.8772754/43.7267792,15.8466928/@43.7330906,15.8519753,14.75z/data=!4m2!4m1!3e2
 
 
=== SeedCamp / Organizers ===
Nina (?)
 
There is contact with some local people. Also there might be a cultural place who can support us a little. ("Azimut is a local bar - also Šibenik's cultural and art space that hosts travel-related talks and festivals and organises gigs.")
 
=== Pros ===
 
Mediterranean sea, good swimming possibilities. Sunshine.
 
Probably not as much mosquitos and moisture as in Norway
 
(Maybe) Possible to squad some abandoned houses there.
 
Accessibility is good. Hitchable.
 
Place seems culturally right and safe to occupy.
 
=== Cons ===
 
Quite a walk to the water place.
 
Only indirect contact with the locals.
