Many thanks MartinR

My deduction of where it was from was purely looking at an elevated position to the north-northwest and saw a very convenient picnic spot with far reaching views across the right area. More luck than judgement I think.

My next is a lesser known military installation, but where?

I knew it would be recognised easily, though I hoped the odd angle might throw someone.  Yes its Kits Coty House.  More impressive is your deductions about the camera site.  It was indeed just to the edge of the car park/picnic area.  I haven't got a record of the lens in the EXIF, but I think I was using the 500mm with a doubler which with an APS-C sensor is equivalent to 1600mm (say 106x optical).  I was experimenting and having problems with (1) the wind and (2) my hips.  The exposure was 1/60, what I should have done was push the ISO up and hence use a shorter exposure.

Well done for working out the camera position, and over to you.

I’ll second that CAT, I got the “red message” as I was about to type pretty much the same answer.

That is some serious magnification, but I have a camera with a digital assisted zoom up to x38, tripod or sturdy fence post required!

I know the place (easy), but I'm guessing due to the blur to the pic its from a slight elevated distant position away to the north-northwest? Not knowing the area intimately I wonder if its from the Bluebell Hill Picnic Site off Common Road?

Sorry, my fault.  the photo wasn't showing because I forgot to add it.  Oops!  It was late and I was hurrying.  Mea culpa.

No worry Martin.  I thought my aging PC was playing silly buggers again.

Right, let's try to get it correct this time.  What is the photo of, and where was the camera.  both parts needed.
