"We didn't go into any of the other huts; that was something we didn't do. There was no need to. We never discussed our work, even with the people we worked with while outside."

Block C

Needless to say watching your step in derelict buildings is essential but visiting Block C in June presented a new hazard: birds' eggs. 

The warmer the weather the worse the stench so my mask stayed firmly on and I'm not sure whether the vegetation at the northern end of C has been cut back or dies back during the winter but there was definitely less of it this time.

Everest Base Camp for Hut 6

I'm off to Bletchley Park again this weekend and will be concentrating on Block C and Hut 6. Block C will be the first building to be transformed into a new entrance and introduction to the site. I'll also take more  photographs of Hut 6, which has inspired a trip to Everest Base Camp. No, not me, another BP enthusiast. Read about Asti's fundraising expedition here.
