RAF Stenigot - Dishes

RAF Stenigot was the home to several giant radar satellite dishes, used during World War II. I visited Stenigot last night along with Jules and Vik Waters. My night got off to a bad start... After arriving and not realising there was a little gate providing easy access, Jules and I climbed through a small spike filled hole in the fence, trekked across the worlds muddiest field and met up with Vik only to realise I'd left my tripod! After an hour or so of precariously balancing my camera on twisted pieces of metal I decided enough was enough and I needed my tripod. Returned to the car to find an Anglian Water security guy accompanied by several police cars. A quick explanation as to what we were doing and following the provision of names and addresses, we were allowed to continue. By the time I got back the clouds had come over and wind was houling!

Non-the-less, I had a great night and loads of fun, it just goes to show what good company can do.

Once I'd got my tripod I got some wide shots like this one. Jules had long gone and Vik had also left by the time I got this shot, shortly after he lost my favorite piece of kit, my wool spinner! He got me a Christmas pressie, so all is forgiven Vik.

Full write-up and further info on my blog.

Good one Andy, glad you got something out of the night. It was interesting watching you when you didnt have the tripod, seeing how you got round that problem.
