Spring 2021 - RAF Lakenheath to RAF Mildenhall [Full Drive} Roof-Mounted, 4k-GoPro

Sooo, the last video was shot on a phone, sitting on a very shaky window-mounted phone holder. It was when I first got over here and wanted to show the family back home what the drive looked like. Over lockdown, I've got new cameras and wanted to redo this video, better and steadier.

This is the full drive from RAF Lakenheath to RAF Mildenhall. It's shot with a 4k GoPro mounted on the roof of the car. It will give you a very good idea of how quick (and scenic) the drive is between the two main bases here. I know I wished I could have looked at stuff like this before I PCS'd over here. With the difference in traffic and road conditions here, it's hard to tell how far of a drive it is between certain locations. This is the full drive between Lakenheath and Mildenhall taking the quickest route.

I still can't do a lot of videos due to the ongoing lockdown, hopefully by Mid-May or June I will be able to travel a little more and get some more of the villages and towns around the area.

Looks like a proper drive. I do miss the old fellow riding his bicycle. The trees are all twice the size. And of course the streets were never painted with stripes

I grew up in Beck Row, my dad was stationed at and then retired from RAF Mildenhall. This brings back sooooo many great memories of my old home. Thanks for taking the time to make and post your videos - they are very well done.

I lived it beck row two years
We were a family of six. We were the first family to occupy a new dwelling. It was tiny. Measure the roof on Google Earth the bedroom I currently sleeping is bigger than the whole house. I think I'll have a cup of coffee. I can make it in my bedroom snack cart with a refrigerator and microwave on it. So I don't have to walk down 24 stairs oh yeah I have twelve-foot ceilings downstairs.

I landed at Mildenhall in the summer of 1973 when work was progressing on the new terminal and control tower. Got pix, but somebody stole them.

Thanks for this! I drove that road for six years (98-04) and I still consider Mildenhall my home away from home! Looks like the road between Lords a walk and RAF Lake Heath is back open to thru civilian traffic? There was a gate installed at the roundabout there and the entire road enclosed as part of the base (along with all the housing areas) in the wake of 9/11. Thank you for the great memories!

I so enjoy your videos Abby, I was stationed briefly at RAF Mildenhall, March-April 2003. Brings back fond memories of the area.

Very pleasant and relaxing video Abby, and the music is so appropriate.....

[@jobellecollie7139]

I need to watch this. But in a few days. Keep up the good work!

[@robertbolding4182]

That was not the main gate when I lived there.

Hi, I was looking for images of the Lakenheath F-15E's in their Heritage paint scheme and landed here??
Well its not an F-15 but its a very nice relaxing video...I think that's what they call serendipity?
Take care....

There is an American vlogger living in Germany and he makes great videos about the local area. Your channel reminds me so much of his. I really think you could turn your channel into something greater than what it already is. You have great content so far. His name is Daniel DTV Television.

DTV: Daniel Television is the correct channel
