My husband was in basic training at Catterick, back in the day. <br /><br />In Dorset there is an area which was taken over by the MoD during the war, and the entire village was evacuated (Tyneham it's called). The buildings (bar the church) are just ruins now but it is a wonderful place for wildlife.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-53497354146972210512012-09-02T18:33:54.096-07:002012-09-02T18:33:54.096-07:00It sounds like a delightfully inviting place.

A place undisturbed by the general public and full of wildlife, despite the more sinister purpose of training human beings to kill each other. <br /><br />Your afternoon sounds lovely.

The large number of unexploded devices do not trouble the nesting birds but keep them free of human interference.John "By Stargoose And Hanglands"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832873074550725579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-51677458517995912522012-09-02T12:45:00.690-07:002012-09-02T12:45:00.690-07:00What a lovely way to spend an afternoon.

I shall take a look at the Nature Reserve's website.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.com
