Salisbury Plain Ride Report - 19th March 2006

[Maverick]

Took me about 2 hours and I missed loads of spots

2 hours I think it's gonna rain again on Thursday so will soap my bike on Wednesday evening Problem is every time just did a spot wash and never took the panels off, think will have to do some hardcore time on the bike now

Hi all, still hav'nt washed the bike yet, great pics every one, but I thought Chad had some video footage from sunday ? Wots up Chad ?Mate..

[DaveS]

Have you got a list of the tracks I could steal off you at some point? Not sure how easy that is to do if your GPS is a PDA and mine's a Garmin tho.... Can borrow a PDA with tomtom 5 on it if that helps?

My thoughts exactly and why I had MemoryMap loaded on to my Dell Axim and what I was navigating by all day. Hence the pauses as I tried to see where the hell we were going.
I think for about 95% of the time we were using legitimate trails which was good as other times we just haven't known where we were going.
The idea was that the whole excursion would have been recorded and it wasn't until I got home and turned the PDA back on that I realised that it hadn't been saved. Arrrggghhh.
There are some great features on the plain and I really think we ought to share co-ords of these so that we don't waste time the next time around.
Did anyone else there get a route?

[Slimie]

Yeah, got one! But I've no idea what to do with it now, d'oh! Any pointers greatfully recieved and I'll let you all see where we went!

Cheers

PS, it's in a Magellan format, but the trail can be converted.

It's with me and I'm a busy man. Only just stopped work now and doing the other stuff. All of Chad's video's are 90 degrees out as well so I need to take each one rotate it, compress it, and then upload it. Not a quick job!
Any volunteers to help with this?

Interesting article published on the MOD police site about catching people who do vear off the path: http://www.modpol.org/LRO/

Made me think of us when we detoured for a play in the mud
