    Southern Rideout

    Does anyone fancy a Southern ride out ?

    I was thinking Salisbury Plain (On road and off) Nothing too serious...
    Tank Ranges, followed by nice sweeping country roads, a Few Green Lanes, maybe try a section of the "Ridgeway" near Marlborough ?

    80 - 100 Miles round trip
    Sandwiches or a Liquid lunch

    I was thinking la first weekend in July.
    Im at Le Mans for the 24 Hr Grand Prix from 12th - 21st June, and the Goodwood Festival of Speed is the 27th / 28th June.

    If there's interest, im sure we could plan something

    Sounds good to me....

    As I've been travelling back over Sailsbury plain I wondered if it had some nice green lanes that we'd be able to tackle.
    Oooo ooo ooo can't wait now.

    well, with over 94,000 square acres, there are a few.
    I have emailed the MOD to ask permission, and also to obtain infomation what tracks are open and what is restricted / closed.
    First weekend looks ok so far, but I know the second weekend is definatly free.

    nope. most of it is still classified as a BOAT. the idiots with enduro bikes cause a lot of hassel, these just dig up the ground. I was there a few weeks ago in a Landrover.. we did Newbury(oxford) to chippenham. no problems, all gates accessable, although the mud was quite bad.
