However to be quite clear, this was going to be tough. We also saw a few trucks going in the base or along the perimeter, but they did not bother looking at us. We also had to walk through a building site, again some workers just looked at us and carried on with what they were doing.

Not all of the public footpaths were clear nor even and because of this, one of our team also hurt himself when he fell on a number of occasions. At the same time the heat was high and with no or little wind, it was hot. At the end of the day a few of the team were also bitten quite a few times by mosquitoes, which was not pleasant and the bites were still seen days after. As we were walking the perimeter, stop, starting and going back to get angles, the visit from 0800hrs to 1240hrs saw us walk 17km / 11 miles. I would strongly advise anyone doing this to take plenty of water and keep bags to a minimum. Having said that, the result was excellent and the memory of this place will stay with me for many years.
