Salisbury Plain 1st time

If you see something very big coming the other way, with tracks, painted in camo & a big tube sticking out the front pointing at you, then it has right of way. don't argue with it, the scenario would not end at all well for you ;) ;)

Check out the green laning section - you may find the answers. If not, ask the question in there as well :cool:
 
Hi I can't play this weekend either as I went to Salisbury plain last Sunday and was out again in the rain all day yesterday.

A couple of us here in swindon go about once a month, I normally cook bacon rolls for everyone.

I think this weekend is the last one before military training starts again.

If you make your way to tidworth you can turn right and enter some good spots from their.

As you head towards tidworth, take the second tank entrance on the right, follow the track and it will take you straight to the military driver training area (as seen on top gear).

I have done some brilliant routes around their, pm me if you want to know a nice long ditch to follow, that said don't contimplate the ditch unless you have all the guards, snorkel and wading kit as we drove the length of it last week in a 4" lifted 90, scraping the bottom and with the bonnett covered in water.

Have a brilliant time, let us know both how you get on and when your going again and hopefully a few of us might be able to tag along.

you cant drive on that military training area and if you do you risk having yr motor impounded and rightly so..drive on it and get caught you desrve all you get
 
I understand that areas of the plain do get closed off and I am sure your absulotely right that they will remove you with out your Landy.

As the titled LZ Salisbury plain guide you know best. The area iv mentioned was shown to me and about ten other drivers some time ago as the driver training area, open to public use unless flagged.

I'm happy to put my hands up if I'm wrong but the 500 or so scramblers using the same area iv directed to will all also be wrong as they where like ants all over it on Sunday.

Basic rules are obvious, stick to the correct byway, keep your eyes open everywhere, take a good map.
 
Spent a large part of my childhood wandering and cycling around the plain, returning with the 110 is on my to do list.

that area gets hired out to clubs so if there were 500 scramblers on it what does that say :rolleyes:
but hey if you wanna go and have a play on it then crack on,dont come crying on here when they give you a section 59..
the driver training area or sidbury hill seven sisters whatever you want to call it isn't open to the public to drive all year round
 
Probably all go there because they can't use matchams on a Sunday no more can they? I been told the council banned it because the noise. So they would be looking for new places now.
