Over the past few days we received more entries in our 2020 Exmoor4all Photo Competition – and as always, the standard is amazing.
Have a look here:
The first entries of the 2020 Photo Competition
The first entries of the 2020 Photo Competition have started to come in. Once again, we have asked for photos celebration Exmoor, from moor to sea.
There is still lots of time to enter the competition (you can find out more here). Perhaps these images are an inspiration! If you click on the images, you can see them in full size.

Suspected Wartime Ordnance uncovered by the Tide at Kilve Beach
HM Coastguard Watchet reported tonight:
“This lunchtime some of our team were tasked to attend Kilve Beach following a report of some found suspected wartime ordnance uncovered by the tide.
On our arrival at the beach we were able to go direct to the location of the described 6 found items thanks to the use of the what3words app and the 3 square meter unique identifier passed by the finder.
Despite our Coastguard Rescue Officers in attendance being trained in the recognition of suspect ordnance and experienced with many similar finds in their careers, photos are taken and forwarded to the Royal Navy Dive Clearance Team (Bomb Disposal) for their expert opinion.
On receipt of the photographs the Military confirmed they would be attending at the next daylight low tide to investigate and deal with the items. Until then the high tide tide has now covered the items and our team will return on low tide to cordon the location until the military arrive on scene.
The Kilve Beach & Lilstock Beach area had been military target ranges during the Two World Wars used by small arms, artillery, tanks and more recently by fixed wing aircraft and now by rotary wing (helicopters).
If you should find anything suspicious on the shoreline in these areas we remind you not to pick it up or remove it, but instead, record its location and inform the Coastguard on 999 .
An update will follow on this post once the items have been dealt with.

A new Exmoor Photo Competition starts now!
It’s been a while since our last Exmoor Photo Competition, and what better way to start the new decade than with lots of amazing photos taken by our talented photographers on beautiful Exmoor.
Everyone is eligible to enter up to three images per month. The competition will run until 30 June 2020 – each month, the public will choose the top ten images to go through to the semi-finals by ‘liking’ them in a special album on Facebook or here on the website. The public and a jury will pick the final 13 images in August 2020 – these photos will feature on our 2021 Exmoor4all Calendar.
You can enter the competition here (safest method to make sure we are not missing an entry) or by posting your photos on Twitter or Facebook, using the hashtag #Exmoor4allPhotoComp. The hashtag is important as it will help us to find your entries!
