Hi Shaun, have you checked the guides at the top of the Stansted section? They can be found here :- http://www.civilianaviation.co.uk/forum ... m.php?f=37

If you need any other help then I'm sure that Andy, or another local will be along soon. :D

Belmer road is easiest, just park on roadside and walk through the hedge gaps and 10m max will get you a good view of the runway. Northside where the biz park is easy for a drivethrough but after the idiots got onto the apron the other week the police don't want people parking or stopping next to the fence there so its a bit of a walk from the car park there. As Mike says the guides will help.
If you do go there just let me know the date and time and I will look at the daily logs on the yahoo group for you
