Fences
The perimeter consists of three fences: chain link fence, coated in green plastic; electric fence; razor wire
Chain link Fence
Standard to most military bases in the UK.
Easily cut with a pair of short handled bolt cutters.
Not alarmed.
Can be climbed.
About 2.5 metres high

Electric Fence
Set about 10 cm in from chain link fence
Alarmed
Made of horizontal strands of galvanised steel.
Easy to cut with short handled bolt cutters.
About 3 metres high
You will NOT get a shock if you do not touch metal parts of the bolt-cutters. For extra insulation, wrap handles with bicycle inner tubes.
Razor Wire
Two coils high by two coils wide.
Loose coils.
Easy to cut with bolt cutters.
It does cut skin easily, so wear gloves.
There is extra fencing around the Pyramid and Satcom. It is again chain link and razor wire,
but no electric fence.
A last note: remember that things do change, so have a look yourself first.
