used to frequent these woods as a kid knowing that it was the site of a ww2 canadian army camp site and was also used by the royal engineers as a training site.. went in with trepidation as the gamekeeper is a bit keen to say the least, has been 30 years since my last visit ! and things have disappeared these are some pics of whats left

coming back through the main gate to the left was this ?

military vehicles were often seen through otley coming from the railway station to the camp when it was used .
