title A Trip to Orford Ness, Orford, Suffolk - 16th August 2022 intro It's been on the cards for ages, and the boys and Isobel have already done it, but finally Nosher sorts out a trip to Oford Ness - once the top-secret home of the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment, where atom-bomb triggers were tested, and also once the home of radar research and various weapons ballistic tests. We get the ferry over from Orford Quay, after a quick visit to Pinney's smokehouse shop, and poke around on the Ness, via the Radar Receiving building and up to the Bomb Ballistics building. imgp6738 Harry takes a photo using Camera B imgp6740 Harry and Fred on the quay at Orford imgp6741 A river trip comes in imgp6744 Our National Trust ferry returns from the Ness imgp6745 Harry stands on a rust anchor imgp6746 There's a load of crabbing going on imgp6755 The river boat Tilly is moored up after a trip imgp6756 We head off to Orford Ness imgp6757 An rudder from Rochester looks like a whale tail imgp6759 The AWRE pagodas of Orford Ness imgp6768 The Ness's shallow lagoons have dried out imgp6769 Fred takes a photo of the cracked earth imgp6771 The remains of an MOD fence imgp6774 The boys poke around in the information centre imgp6775 An old "Blue Danube" atomic bomb imgp6777 Harry sits on an old chair imgp6781 An experimental bunker imgp6782 The boys roam the red route imgp6783 All that remains of an old Nissen hut imgp6784 A toilet sits in the remains of an old building imgp6797 Harry and Fred try to get electrocuted imgp6798 We visit the book shop imgp6799 An old electrical substation imgp6804 There's a pile of timber where a building was imgp6807 More abandoned electrical gear imgp6808 Looking out towards the Cobra Mist radar test site imgp6810 Harry and Fred on the Bailey bridge imgp6814 We visit the Bomb Ballistics building imgp6815 The remains of a bomb target in the shingle imgp6816 The boys try out some high-quality binoculars imgp6820 Under the bonb ballistics building imgp6823 Old railway tracks in the concrete imgp6829 One of several dead tiny deer imgp6834 We walk back down the red route imgp6837 The Ranger's building imgp6842 A sheep visits the book shop imgp6843 Some olf research building imgp6845 An old shower and a big concrete tank stand imgp6848 Harry roams around the post-apocolyptic landscape imgp6851 The cracked earth imgp6852 Wooden fences surround the path on the Ness imgp6854 A bunch of Toppers get ready for a race imgp6855 Orford Quay from the ferry on the way back imgp6857 A boy sails a Topper across the river imgp6861 A War-memorial stone imgp6862 Boys hurl themselves into the River Ore imgp6864 There's a nest of House Martin babies imgp6865 Some ducks waddle over imgp6869 Ducks peck at Fred's shoes
