Swampy has finally left the anti-HS2 tunnels in London after 30 days along with two other activists before the trio were arrested by police.
Their exit leaves a lone protester called Bradley still underground trying to stop the high-speed rail line going ahead, it was revealed today.
The protest below Euston Square Gardens is fast approaching the longest in UK history where Essex bypass objectors dug in for 40 days in 2000.
This morning Dan Hooper, better known as Swampy, 48, and Isla Sandford, 18, the daughter of millionaire Scottish landowner Roc Sandford known as Blue, clambered out with an unnamed comrade before officers arrested them.
