When I was there my Mum visited at the same time as the DHSS man. We all sat on chairs outside my little tent and officially recorded the tent as my abode.

I have fond memories of the Molesworth camp, including an overnight hike back to Bedford with a contingent from Lincoln that was part of a nationwide peace march. That leg was done overnight due to one member suffering sun stroke.
