taken 18 years ago, near to Tyneham, Dorset, England

Warning signs, west of Tyneham Cap
Warning signs, west of Tyneham Cap
These warning signs are typical of those found throughout the Lulworth Range, alongside the waymarked Range Walks. Apparently there have been very few instances of civilians being injured by ordnance on the Lulworth range (something to do with fossil hunters in a quarry) - the Range Walks are checked for hazards by the MOD before they are opened to the public. The gunnery generally goes on to the north of the Purbeck chalk ridge, but there is danger of ricochet in this area to the south.
