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-






more to follow-

The Church is the only untouched building in the village-






more to follow-

On to a couple of grass byways heading to the tank training area at Tidworth-

No tanks today-


I gave this ford a miss....bit to deep and 80 miles from home!


and more-

and on to the training village nr Chitterne-




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.

Looks great. Done the Plain many times, but never been to Imber.

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

Hi Nick.

Easter will be the next time the village/range will be open.When I get the exact dates I'll post them up.
I will be happy to show you around.

Cheers

Looks good, have'nt been back there since you lead us around in 2009 (Devon Trf group). How do you find the Tenere compared to the WR you had? Just got myself a Tenere, quite fancy riding up from Devon and doing a day on the trails....

Hi TM

The plain ride-out with the Devon TRF back in 2009 went really well,and the weather god's were on our side as well from what i can remember.

The WR had to go as I'm planning a couple of trips away over the next couple of years.It was a cracking trail bike and fine on the road....but it was no long haul bike.

When I get the "Range Access" times/dates for the Easter period I'll post them up and see if we can sort out a XT660 Forum ride-out.

Cheers,
Andy.

That would be a cunning plan, I can TEC and maybe bring the van for recovery/repair duties if required as its on my doorstep. Is that the same tigerman that did the droves with us and Harty broke himself? if so , hello.
