And if you were standing where that photo was taken when the vehicles that usually drive that particular road were there - my little RR would be the least of your worries!

Don’t get me wrong... churning up the lanes is an anathema, however if that is on the plains, then it is understandable.Thanks @The Mad Hat Man.

@Salisbury Nick I do not bother going near the plains. I like my motors too much for constant repairs.
have you joined Salisbury 4x4 they are out every Sunday?they look a good bunch of responsible green laners.
I have a few dates to arrange around the ridgeway. I will drop you an invite once I get some dates.
(Remind me a few weeks before a bank holiday)

Tank tracks. The odd Green Laner on them really makes no difference.

I have not found a local group yet - is that a facebook group?

Just dropped the mrs off at a horse event & I know there are a few lanes near the area. So out In the L200 and welly boots for a look.
Now iv drove some of the lanes in the area before & these are wide scalping stone drives.
Loverly few miles done & just need to add these to a summer route towards a camping area. The ford(river crossing) was not even looked at today as don’t want wet carpets.

Update from the council.
The section of the ridgeway between hack pen & Avebury is once again closed. This is the same section which was repaired during last years closure. Council are saying due to the wet winter they want to allow more time for it to recover.
Triangle Section from Avebury called green lane to the animal cemetery the. Back to Avebury will be open.
I must get out on The bike and see how the repairs are. Bet there is still local farmers who use this to go between the fields during closure.

Farmers may well have a right of access, and will almost certainly it need to access their fields... just the same as when our road is closed for roadworks we can still access the house.
Odd that it needs more time to recover... everything round here is bone dry and rock hard

Been some time since iv been out.
Done a few lanes & noticed they are overgrown due to lock down & lack of use. This will be fun for an arranged route on the bank holiday where I get people say I don’t want to scratch the paint.
2 routes planned,There are places they can go round the tight stuff & meet back up. camp site arranged & now waiting on a few numbers to confirm.
May even sneak a few miles in on the Friday evening near the campsite.
