Cheers and see you if your not busy?
You've picked a good weekend Dicky as it's the first time the Imber range/village has been open this year.It's normally open for a week at easter and two weeks during the summer close down in August,but for some reason they did not open it up.
The four ways on to the range are-
Warminster-

East to Gore Cross (this bit is all tarmac)-

and Bratton to the North-

via Imber village to -

Heytesbury in the South.

The Bratton-Heytesbury bit is trail bike/4x4 only.

There is a nice pub and garage with a jet wash/hot food in Tilshead and some great lanes to try...the one's up to and around the mock German village are great but hard going if very wet.

This one is o.k on road tyres even if wet-
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X...2759&A=Y&Z=120
and this is a great lane if dry but a lot of tree roots etc so not so good if wet on the bigger bikes-

again...this will be good if dryish-

and all can be linked with the Imber route.

I can't make that weekend as I'll be on a Somerset Cricket coaching course at Taunton.......but I know where I'd rather be!!!

Cheers,
Andy.
