Imber Village and Salisbury Plain.
 

I had a day out in a damp but very mild Witshire on Saturday.
Plan was to visit the "ghost" village of Imber and then head over the rest of the Salisbury Plain training area.
I'll let the pictures do the talking-

A great day out,covering just under 200 miles...90 of them on gravel/grass.

Only three bikes and one group of 4x4 seen during the day.

Cheers,
Andy.

Do you have to check when it is accessible to the public?

Anytime you want to come down in the spring/summer give me a shout.

Hello mate hows it hanging? We were up there on the Bakery Run the previous weekend. I have never seen so much water on the Plain. The pic below is normally a lane not a river! http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps990f7f16.jpg The mighty XTR rescuing a BMW: http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps4c5b6218.jpg
