Underground WW2 bunker S. Wales, BBC radio4 programme


Recommended Posts

Today's 'Open Country' on radio 4

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00vr...try_Resistance/

featured an underground bunker used in the 2nd WW in South Wales.

The bunker was used by Auxilliary units- a highly secretive set up who would work under cover [literally] should Gerry have invaded.

As a challenge in the final seconds of the programme a challenge was offered that there should be a Geocache in the bunker !

I have a such a cache in Sussex - think my idea was copied

Come on S. Wales cachers - a challenge for you !

The final of one of my caches is right next what remains of a wartime army auxiliary bunker ... but you wouldn't recognize it to see it.

 

Which one is that any piccies?

 

I would tell you - but then I'd have to shoot you.....

 

The bunker's next to the final of a multi/puzzle cache. Piccies/co-ords would give the game away a little.... that, and the bunker's now in the middle of a pheasant compound, and I don't think the game keepers would appreciate the extra traffic :anicute:

Locations of most of the known bunkers are shown on a Google Earth kmz - link to it here

The positions aren't usually that accurate (by our standards) - so you'll need to do some searching on the ground too. Not sure if anybody's done a bookmark list of related caches though.
