Starting a thread for round this area as there don't seem to be one. :(

Any trips planned will be edited into the first post to make details easier to find.

Anyway. Planning a laning trip for the easter weekend. Can either do it good Friday or easter Monday.


Route was recce'd by myself and Cooper267 2 weeks ago and mostly involves lane driving, very little road driving.

Starting point will be the bull in Downton. Postcode is SP5 3HL. Meeting at 9am to set off at 9:15. On the 6th April.

Will then drive from there to shaftesbury along some very nice lanes as well as a few tight ones. Shiny vehicles may want to pass on 2 of the lanes in particular.
Also have a ford to cross at one point during the trip.
And then come all the way back to Salisbury from shaftesbury along one single lane with no roads at all. :)

All in all ends up about 6 hours worth of driving. :)


If anyone is interested put yer name down. Or ask me or Cooper267 for more details about the lanes etc.



Cake will be available. :D

Well the Series has just passed it's MOT! I'll confirm tomorrow if that's ok?
 
Were you on the plain today?

Nope I haven't been up there. Not planning a trip up the plains just yet. Maybe April/may.

Spent most of the day yesterday to tinkering with my disco ready for tomorrow.
 
You boys should travel up further hamlshire way near Alton meet up with me and some of the others, got some very good challenging lanes round here I think you'd like! I like the photos look good!

Wouldn't mind doing just that! :)

Definitely give us a shout next time your thinking of going out and will see if we can make it up there.
 
Doesn't look like I'll be able to make tomorrow it seems plans have been made for me! But I'm only in Amesbury so maybe some other time?

No worries mate! I'm sure we'll plan many more trips this year. So keep an eye on the thread.

Could possibly be doing the plains next month/month after. :)
 
Salisbury Plain trip is being planned for the end of April if anyone is interested? :)

Details will be edited on to the 1st post as and when I sort the route etc. :D
 
Sorry to revive an old thread but let me know if you do this again as I live local to these lanes and sounds like a good day out.
