 <description><![CDATA[During WW2 there was a fake airfield on Woodbury Common east of Castle Feature equipped with a set of landings lights which would be switched on if the Luftwaffe approached.  Exeter still badly hammered. The Switch Room was a concrete underground bunker north-east of Castle Feature, which the Training Teams used as accommodation when the Squads were doing Defence Exercise (slit trenches).<br />

 <description><![CDATA[If any Instructor at CTCRM is reading this he can wander off to the left from the stream at the bottom of the re-entrant, trees were marked in paint for route markers and he will find the ‘second’ bog, it was about 100 yards, slightly uphill leading towards the “Smartie Tube” Tunnels on the old 25 yard (not meters then) Pistol and Sten a Range. If brought back into use  timings might have to be amended, it was really sticky and hard work!<br />

 <description><![CDATA[Over the years the bogs disappeared but at one time there were two, this is the first then it was through the small copse and away to the left where the second bog awaited, this was very long and slightly uphill, one hell of a drag. In my day we started on the old brick road (built with bricks carted up from bomb damaged Exeter when there was a big RM Camp at that location. This was the original 600 Yard Rifle and Machine Gun Range). We ran down and straight across to the Butts, through both bogs to the start line then made a second circuit the same way. There were no Water obstacles or Tunnels. The run  back to Camp was the same but at the bottom of Red Barn Lane we ran down to Pink House Corner onto the Exmouth Road then back up to the Main Gate.<br />
