Hello all you flyer types… Is there any bookable accommodation at RAF Syerston? I’m doing a paddling orientation nearby over the weekend in a couple of weeks time and wondered if it’s a good option for a bed for the night.
Obviously I don’t have a growbag so will be easily identifiable on site as a nonbeliever 
There’s no accommodation at Syerston. Cranwell is your best bet.
Booo…thanks anyway. Cranwell and PWOG are 40+ minutes in the wrong direction unfortunately.
I thought you would be wild camping next to the river to be at one with nature? That’s what you AT types do isn’t it?
Isn’t that what the camper van is for?
Well yes, that is the baseline position - if there were any campsites open nearby! Didn’t fancy layby camping 
Chetwyn Barracks anywhere nearer? Mean bunking with the pongos but worth a shout.
Technically RAF Syerston’s officers mess is still standing, and is only across the A46…
Facilities are a bit poor though. Definitely no longer bookable.
However there is still the possibility of a wakeup call, just in the form of a bulldozer…
I was told by wittering that syerston accommodation would be option when taking a cadet trip to wittering etc.
Maybe in a few years time 
Wait….did this not happen then?
Im sure i saw the opening all over socials at somepoint.
When I used to glide as a cadet, we stayed in Raf newton when it was around. Glory days. We would occasionally get given the phys hanger all to our selves!
God no, turned over a turf was about it then quietly shelved. Like all the 2fts infrastructure plans from 2014 to 2019 just rolling around in the long grass.
Unless at LR then its 2 Sqn worth of infra investment completed just before merging them to one
