===Perimeter Fence off Road to Safi===
===Perimeter Fence off Road to Safi===


Good for runway 32 touchdowns. However, this is an awkward spot as an old farmhouse on the right will restrict your view of incoming aircraft. To get a better view you can descend close to the fence but you would then need a stepladder to clear it. In summer 2006 this site was cleared of vegetation, apparently as a prelude to future works on the site, but so far it remains accessible.

'''Directions:''' As with the previous spot but follow the road up the hill. Near the top turn right to take an old country road leading to the village of Safi. Very soon you will come to a fork in the road. Keep right and you will soon reach the airport perimeter fence. This spot is really for drivers as it will add some 20 minutes to your journey from the terminal if you are on foot.
