RAF Odiham

Me and Ads went up to see a good mate of mine Rich who is an Officer in the RAF and he flyes a chinook. He got us some passes and showed us around the base...

Mission

We Meet at Tesco’s Car Park in Chichester on Friday night. Our mission was to camp in the Sand Dunes at East Head.
The Crew was Dave Wakefield, Myself, Justyn Moore, Mark Tombling and Richard Anderson.
After getting some supplies we left for a 20 min drive to West Wittering where the plan was to park as close to East Head Beach as possible. We found the car park but it was closed and we where ushered away by a Warden. At this point it was made pretty clear that we couldn’t camp in the dunes but this wasn’t gonna stop us!

We made our way back to the village and parked in a residential area. Our plan was to carry everything by hand through the gates without the wardens spotting us. So we made a stealthy approach to the gates and got through undetected.
There was no way we would have just given up a the first hurdle and when we set up camp we got a Brew and a Stew on.
We went for a walk at about 12am round the beach and made our way back to the camp through the dunes. We could have been in the desert because it all looked so alien under the moon light.We all got our heads down after talking and sharing stories at about 2:30, We woke up at 6am to catch the sunset but we missed it. Me and Mark went down to the shore to wash up a few things and found the tide had gone right out. I managed to get some nice photos of pools of water left by the tide.

After we packed up we headed into West Wittering in search of a fry up. Once full we walked along the stoney beach, If you get a chance to get down to West Wittering or East Head i'd recommend it!
