Geocache Description:

Located on the Sutton side of the old RAF Mepal. Accessible by footpath.


You are looking for a hidden, small plastic container. Inside there is a log sheet and pencil. Access to the old airfield is through a path in the hedge close to the Sutton Pavillion, MUGA and Sports fields. Although there is no footpath sign, the way is obvious. The location of the old airfield access may be in sight of muggles but the cache itself is well hidden and will be quiet apart from the occasional dog walker. Parking is available next to The Brooklands Centre.

 

RAF Mepal is a former RAF station located 0.7 miles south of Mepal, Cambridgeshire, England and 5.9 miles  west of Ely. It was an "expansion" airfield whose construction commenced in July 1942 and opened in June 1943. It was used towards the end of the Second World War to prepare Avro Lancaster bombers squadrons such as No. 44 (Rhodesia) squadron for use in Tiger Force which was to bomb Japan.
