Hi all..
Lee (offroadtoad) had asked for the details of the easy/gravel byways on Salisbury Plain.
These byways can be used on road tyres even if it's wet,and are well worth it as the views are stunning.
The ones on the Larkhill/Westdown Artillery range are usualy open three weekends out of four but the ones North of the Bulford Rifle range or open all the time.
If anybody decides to go for it,give me a shout and I'll check the range use info as the one from the Bustard Inn-Redhorn Hill is the best part of 11km's long.
First one....on Larkhill/Westdown so check dates.

The byway is all gravel and the MOD even filled in all the pot holes during the summer-
The next one will be a dead end if on road tyres/wet conditions....but still worth a ride down and back-
