Salisbury Plain.
 
With the Plain just over an hour away and all the ranges not in use,I thought it would be rude not to have a nose around.
The first set of pictures were taken on the Larkhill/Westdown range...

Then I headed over to the Bulford rifle range and some nice grass byways..

A nice and easy 160 mile day and the sun was out....bonus.

If anyone fancies a bimble out on the all weather gravel tracks after the 7th of August (as the Imber range/village is open for viewing) then I'm sure we can sort something out.

Cheers,
Andy.

Hi Andy, oh yes, I'm dead keen to do this. I'll be coming from the opposite side though (Newbury/Basingstoke). Just name the date and where to meet. I'll be there!

Hi Mark.

Will see what dates Jac is free but I'm sure we can work around the 9th.

I use the Golden Swan,Wilcot nr Pewsey for camping and also I think there are a couple of pub's in Pewsey that do B&B.
Pewsey is only 10 mins from the start point and is on the right side of the plain for the direction you will be coming from.

Cheers,Andy

Hi Andy, can't wait for this. I can do 8th or 9th, other dates a bit more tricky for me. Heck I'm so keen now I might even do a recce this coming weekend. The more the merrier. So looking forward to it.

Tomsdad 29-07-15 21:44

Hi Guy's.

Saturday 8th it is then.
Will be in touch with contact details,times etc.

Room for a couple more if anybody fancies it.

Cheers,Andy.

Hi Andy

Cheers Mark

Hi Andy, hope you don't mind, I put the ride in the calendar. Why not post something in the meetings and rideouts near the top. I'm sure you will get lots of interest. Fingers crossed the weather is kind to us.

Jacques le Roux 02-08-15 15:22

Meeting place Saturday morning just south of Burbage. What a stunning morning for a ride. Fingers crossed next week Saturday will be the same.

Stopped at this pile of stones on my way home. Amazing traffic and spectators, so glad I was on my XT, as I could stop for a ring side seat and pass the miles of standing still traffic.
