    They closed the Plain? Sounds like nonsense to me, I'd be interested in the details so I can find out why. Then we might be better prepared next time.

    It's normally the All Wheel Drive club that blast around that area of the Plain, but I haven't been in touch with them for over 10 years.

    Did they get slung off I wonder? Maybe I should try and book us onto the Plain in the future, then we won't be asked to leave.

    We had come to a halt and then the Warden turned up.

    The flags were going up and pretty soon they were flying everywhere - I thought the British Army had Sundays off...

    Red Flag time to go!

    The warden found us and warned us that there was a fire on the North of plain. He said it was standard practice to evacuate the whole plain.

    The off-road jobbies were on the tank driving range, and it was a properly organised event.

    Are you able to get us on to the tank range Cie next time. We were told by the wardens last time we couldn't go on there as there were no byways or tracks there.
    Forum help and advice needed?

    Agreed, awesome day out. Had a great time. Does the MOD want all this mud I washed off, back???

    Will post a few pics later (nothing special, as I forgot to charge the camera battery, so was limited).
