On their  way they got stopped severall times by people by climbing on their  machines or building barricades out of wood. One person locked himself  with his arms in a metallpipe (Lock-On) around the jib of a wheelded  loader. For severall time their machinery got stopped.
At  the same time the Skill-Share-Camp happend in the forest. Three weeks  before, on the 27.03.2014, the cops evicted the treeoccupation  Monkeytown. Two days after the eviction of the compost toilets, on  26.04.2014, the Hambach Forest got reoccupied. The treevillages Oaktown  and Beechtown got founded.
