Wizzair are just as effective as Ryanair at enlarging the natural catchment area for an airport to 90-120 minutes drive-time which makes the routes more viable. CWL is the next base to the west and LGW to the east, so BOH does make a geographically sensible next option for them.
bucket and spade only from BOH, the other suggestions are nothing but a pipe dream!
