After a couple of hours here I went for a trip to the runway. Following Tenthje’s instructions (visit his very informative website). I caught the bus as instructed and got off when the ‘helpful?’ bus driver told me. I then walked down the solitary long painful road that takes you to the carpark that is adjacent to the runway nearly getting knocked into a dyke (giggle giggle!). Eventually I got there and the views of landing aircraft was superb. Unfortunately it became rather cold dark and windy so photography became quite difficult to catch fast moving aircraft. I was looking forward to getting a photo of a KLM 777 landing, unfortunately this wasn’t to be. I saw plenty taking off from the runway about 5 miles away in the distance and landing on another runway that I hadn’t seen behind me. After a couple of hours here I decided to go back to the main terminal because I was cold, wet, thirsty,hungry and needed the bog and as Tenthje describes , be prepared when you go to this location.
