Trip to Salisbury Plain?

[KTM Gordo]

In this thread the possibility of a BCF trip to Salisbury Plain was floated (pun intended). Now that the weather's picked up a bit, would any of the "locals" be up for doing a guided tour for us fenlanders?

You're welcome to come to East Anglia too - but our lanes are sparse and not all that exciting

Bit busy at the mo. Korn's off for a bit, sure he'll be up for it when he's back and by then hopefully I'll have a working bike and body. Presuming no more distractions hurting myself and t'other bike racing, of course .

Should sort out a south downs trip some time as well.

I'd be up for it, but I'm trying to rebuild my RGV in time for the trackday season. If that all gets done, then I'm definately interested!

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Yep , no problems lads

I have a route that is a round 60 miles of byways and 12 road , more than happy to act as a guide .

It would have to be a Sat/Sun , I need to know how many (8 max) and if you want to camp or B+B .

One thing though , I do not ride fast around this area as its very easy to get bashed up , nice and easy is best for all concerned .

So if someone wants to set a date (next month ?) I will get the ball rolling this end

I was hoping we might be able to do something.

B&B sounds good - I don't mind camping, but a proper bed's a lot nicer. Weekends are good, Salisbury's a fair distance from here, so a Friday night drive is probably better than a very early start.

For what it's worth, I'm a paid-up, card carrying TRF member and tend to stick to their code of conduct - www.trf.org.uk for those not in the know.

Thank you Mr A1

5/6 or 26/27 May are the only free weekends for me that month I'm afraid...

Possibly meet up In Ludwell (grove arms)
https://www.grovearms.com/.

I organised a ride out for the lads from tbm forum and stayed here.
Very nice , bikers welcome ! fantastic grub, !

My route would also use the Ox Drove > Winspit > and Fovant Down which I belive is the longest byway in the Uk with stunning views

From here you then lead up to Stonehenge and onto the Plain (via Shrewton).

This route has something for all ie gravel tracks and some pretty difficult narrow lanes .

Just a note for some nothing to do with my business (trackdays) just a bit of fun

I'll be up for that although not too sure when as next week I'm off to the Pyrenees for 3 weeks with my XR tryingnot to get eaten by any bears or wolves.

Camping rather than a B&B I reckon, few hours riding around on the Plain the dark then having a massive bonfire.

TRF code of conduct... I assume that includes things like "thou must play on the empty tank driving courses even if they aren't any type of right of way"?

MOD didn't seem bothered by us being there, or the other motor and push bikes (trail and trials for both). Obviously, sure they would be more annoyed if they were actually doing stuff there, but we checked first.

I may have broken my arm in that area, but don't regret playing there as it was lots of fun .
