Managed to pursuade Jesus (for the first time in fooking aaaaaages) and BravoZeRo to join me on a winter wonder round the former RAF base, saw a few new sites today but got spooked by chavs sporting balaclavas who later turned out to probably be fellow UE'ers

Anyhoo, on with pics, usual entry point so a few of the houses first...

Always a good sign, but this is the point where the footpath conveniently disappears into nothingness

Right onto some parts of the base that are right in the heart of security territory...

After wondering around the heart of the base we then decided to have a lookie at a building I have never seen covered in any reports, mainly due to the fact it is directly behind the security hut and is pretty much constantly watched, on the way round to it we didnt notice the secondary security hut for the live section of the base that we pretty much walked straight past, and god knows how they didn't notice us..

Rather large building, although unfortunately not accessible at the moment.

At another entrance to the base, bit of a contrast to the opposite section of the site.

Some random shots on the way back to the car

Just before we were about to leave, while sitting in the car at the usual layby the group who we were previously being wary of turned up and one of them sorting woodland combats gave us a couple of knowing nods as we drove past, leading us to conclude that they had spotting our camera kit slung across our backs and realised that we were probably fellow UE'ers.

Cheers for looking at the pics, most of em came out really grainy as I only looked at my ISO in the car on the way back and realising it was still on Ho.3 from the previous nights experiments :evil: :roll:

I've looked on other EU sites an no one has posted a report of Newton lately

:?:
