A pair of cheap binoculars is all you need for a closer look. I used a pair of 1950 Japanese binos recently and they were every bit as good as many of their modern counterparts.

Oatlands is also in a black zone, though only by about 10 or 20km, would there be just as good? It's just that the sooner I get there, the longer I have before having to head back. Also Tunbridge is another spot that is pretty much in the middle of the black zone in the midlands, but there's no pub or anything, so if the weather took a turn for the worse, I'd be stuck!
