Even though I live 'down the road' and have been going there all my life that was a very interesting read, are there more bases in the pipeline for guides :thumb: as I would like to see them for the bases I dont get to frequent.

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

I'm glad you like it guys!

The team is currently in discussion about doing other bases, seeing as this guide seems to be a success. :)

An excellent guide, well done guys. I never realised "Johns Field" was actually in a campsite. I belive Mildenhall is fairly active at weekends also, so I think a weekend away in the Campervan might be in order.
Thanks again for a great guide.
