@The Mad Hat Man @flat

So planning routes not far from sunny swindon again for May BH Monday.
5 motors to the group & some different lanes to what MHM & DD have drove before. Mostly non scratchy.
Start 09.30 till you want to finish if it's dry.

(Just waiting on the young German lady to confirm the dates.)

If you can't make it I can still sort GPX files out for your own driving

Which one? 6th May or 27th May? I am up for either. Sounds great

Great, I'm +50% done welding so the Disco will be ready

Will be good to see that big Ol' lux flexing through the twisty bits

Also good to catch up with old friends, will your wife be bringing the series 1 out to play?

It was the sister in laws S1. Mrs don't off road hers as the diff hits the front pully

@flat
Should be the 6th. A Hilux comes over from Germany for badmington horse trials so we fit some lanes in for her.

Perfect - have put it in my diary, would be ace to come just let me know where to meet and what time.

I don’t mind a Hilux coming, I once went laning with a guy in a jeep!!

Waiting for the Row site to be updated. Closed this section last year for a few months due to early spring rain.
If the tractors that drive this section used some disk harrows it would all be fine by now

That sucks! Any good alternatives?

Hicap phill · Apr 20, 2019

That section is only about 3miles long.
2 other sections may be affected as they link up. But wilts ROW update changes quick.
Most of the ridgeway towards Oxford is now closed to motors.

Think last year when this section was closed we still had 52miles of green laning between broad town & malbourgh.

the sun is shining & May will be here soon this is when I start going out as most restrictions cease.

Good dry day out. Plenty of lanes.
Wiltshire council have repaired some of the lanes with old road scalpings by filling in holes & removing ruts then back filling.
Few bikes out & 2 motors tagged on to us down 1 lane.
Some new sign post have appeared

Nope. It's chalk you are either going up & sliding scrambling for any traction or coming down like a sledge.

Know chalk well from the mtb scene

Looks like you need branch cutters to protect the windscreen

I blame the cyclist/MTB. Lazy freaks are not using it often enough.

Used to be able to fly down there. Now you ride so close to the barb wire fence it's scary st speed
