pugwash Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 decided to follow the TOR massive lane book over the weekend- got the salisbury region by about 12 and by 5:30 i had only got to point 58 of 369! Couple of places where i went wrong- due to road changes or me being a thicky- or them not putting a junction in! Saw lots of (unfortunately): but also did lots: and also an absolutely beautiful Pheasant in truly amazing condition- one of the best i have ever seen- huge purple/ blue front and as bold as anything: Hihghlight of the day was when i got extremely lost and ended up in the middle of a forest track with nowhere to go- on the way out i met a rather large forestry tractor so stopped to apologise. Bloke was a real gent and we had a good old natter, i helped him fell some timber, and then went round for a cuppa- he was part of SORC a couple of years ago and into trialing- surname was Howie i think if anyone knows him. Forest truck was: Sorry there not very clear or interesting- hand held cameras don't always take the best photos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8CAMEL Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 the private land keep of signs are for the squaddies. That sign is near the air field on the plain. The forestry tractor piccie looks as if you were on the right track from the a303 to the a36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it was an issue about 8 months ago i beleive-covered about 250 miles across the plains and has some great little lanes in- has some really small pointless ones in too mind- but they are fun to drive nevertheless! Beleive current issue covers the Quantocks in Somerset- Good job fruity i say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8CAMEL Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 No the Quantocks one is a doodey - you need to be careful in a couple of places though unlike the one i tried to do for you this weekend.

pugwash Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 Yes... Ta muchly! anybody out this weekend- me has a free day one of them? Alternatively- Dave you still up for the training stuff- got any weekends free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honitonhobbit Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Jim, Training is no problem - ring me to discuss I won't be out this weekend as I have to work on the RR on Sunday, in preparation for 7S. However if I get finished early, me and the small person (my Daughter, not Fruity) could show you some of the more interesting bits of the Blackdowns... You may need to invest in T-Cut later though!
