    HI Ollie
    Was that in Swinley? They did Harry bloody Potter there a while back and taped off half the trails for ages.

  • All of you are close but its the land between farnham, aldershot and fleet called ceasers camp..

    I spoke to one of the guys who said that this was one of the last few bits to complete... and that its going to be released next year.. I wish I didnt have work tomorrow otherwise I would go up there an watch them blow up the building.. ACEEE!!

    If you type this into google it will show you exactly where it is "51.23734,-0.821768" .. they have been filming eveywhere.. odd that there filming it over here tho!

    That is the main Aldershot training area. I was on exercise there less than two months ago. I'm not in work tomorrow so I might take a ride up there. :D

    I often ride past there on the dark side bike where I have a route, Bordon - Alton - Odiham - Farnham - Bordon

    My regular route when I lived in Bordon was: Bordon - Liss - Petersfield - Emsworth - Thorney Island - Chichester - Midhurst - Hindhead - Bordon. But then I used to be fit in those days...

    Caesars Camp? Awesome, thats my local stomping ground too.. might have to take a mooch over there, have a look!

    Lol, did they have to round up the cows that frequent there?! :lol:

    I hate Minley.. trying to deal with something in that area at the moment that I have no enthusiasm for.. :evil:

    They also filmed something with Jack Black in recently at Monty Lines in A'shot.. think it could have been part of Gullivers Travels.. I might be wrong though.

    Cooldad - I remember when they were filming Harry Potter too, ruined my day at Swinley :(

    This reminds me of when the crazy kid in school told us he'd seen a load of ninjas one morning, on his way to the school bus.
    "yeah yeah, whatever" we though.
    Until the following week, when it was revealed they were filming Mortal Kombat in the nearby quarry :lol:
