If you're most interested in number jotting then this is probably the best place to go. Head towards the M1 and then turn right at the third roundabout you reach. Then turn right again heading towards Wheathampstead. This road goes for a couple of miles before you take the 2nd left at a set of crossroads. Go under the railway and climb up the hill before turning left then immediatley bearing right. Turn left at the next junction and follow the road to the runway. The authorities are usually fine with you here, provided you don't block the gate with any part of your car. | If you're most interested in number jotting then this is probably the best place to go.

===Mid-Term Car Park=== | |||
Just beyond "The Bridge" (see above), there is a large airport car park. From here you can see the runway and the hold point for aircraft awaiting 08 departures. There is a large mound of gravel near the fence here which many photographers use to get above the level of the fence. This spot is facing south, so is best in the summer evenings for photography. | |||
I have never been moved on from here despite spending countless hours at the spot, however if you are asked to move, please do. | |||
