Spotting Spot 1-Approx Distance from Terminal=2.4Miles
As you can tell by the distance, a taxi might be an easier option. You can reach the same spot by taxi by using the yellow road instead, that also leads to the same spot. This spot is a field situated at the bottom of RWY23, and police hardly seem to bother people here.
What this spot is best for: Best for RWY23 arrivals. Can also be used if aircraft are taking off on RWY05, but it’s best to go somewhere else if they are on RWY05 (to be included later). The aircraft fly over quite low here, and it’s as close as you’ll get to the planes if they are on 23.
How to get here: As can be seen on the map, take a right turn out of the terminal and head down the mian road. When you reach the first roundabout take care as it’s a very large one, and head for the road that’s signposted as taking yo to ‘Takeley’. Once on this road, go left and head along the road I have highlighted on the map. After a while you should be surrounded by wooded areas on either side of you, and just after you exit this area there will be a footpath to your left. Walk down this footpath into the field marked as spot 1!
