Re: Colossus is in H Block

Having spent most of the weekend at BP, it might interest people to know that all the visitor car parking is outside the fences (including a brand new one right next to H Block which is being used in addition to the car park near B & C Blocks). The car park work is ongoing but when finished the extended car park at the bottom of the site next to B & C Blocks won't be big enough on its own for the number of visitors who were there this weekend, so some visitors will have to park near H Block.

Despite the spats between BP and NMOC, when we bought a BP guide book at the BP ticket desk there was a NMOC flyer in the book; NMOC is currently mentioned on the finger posts near the lower car park and the fences protecting the ground works between Hut 1 and the Mansion have a banner pointing the way to NMOC in addition to all the propaganda about the BP developments. Whatever the BP Trust's intentions really are, it doesn't currently look as if they're trying to pretend NMOC isn't there or obstruct access.

We didn't ask any of the volunteers or staff at BP or NMOC about their troubled relationship but it's clear there's general disaffection amongst BP volunteers about the way things are being run, or at least those with time on their hands to chat with their colleagues in full hearing of the visiting public. I also heard one elderly visitor being told that the "new CEO doesn't like chairs" in response to her comment about being unable to take the weight off her feet at various points on the site.
