Cache Across Somerset - Bridgwater (Westonzoyland)


Dont forget to note the bonus letter and number, please leave the card in the cache.
Good luck.

The cache is about 5 miles East of Bridgwater at Westonzoyland. This used to be known as RAF Westonzoyland from 1926 to 1968. Most of the runways are still there and are used by a local microlight club and model aircraft clubs. The old control tower and some other buildings still survive, but have been out of use since the MOD sold the land. The main runway runs East - West with no obstructions above about 10 metres, so was ideal for heavy bombers struggling into the air. In fact it was mainly used during WWII for air combat and troop transport.

When you go through the village, see if you can spot a bomb next to the road !!!

The cache is well hidden at ground level, please re-hide appropriately. It is not necessary to enter the gate or cross the hedge. With care, you could park within one or two metres of the cache!
