Normal greenlane day driving on maps. Meeting in Tidworth £10 per car Limited numbers so please PM me if you want to come along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Despite saying a few days ago that I deemed it too far....I'm now really tempted by this. 100 miles from me to the plain, and again back, but I may well come out. The lanes on the plain do look good from what I've seen. Will let you know via PM Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_pete Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I;m tempted. How difficult are the lanes likely to be ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perv Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I;m tempted. How difficult are the lanes likely to be ? As a general rule all the lanes on the plane are are gentle green lanes, if they are any harder than that then you are probably somewhere you should'nt be.

jules Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 As Perv said I wouldn't want to take a RRS but a 90 with mud's will be more than capable. From what Colin has said the Warden's are fully aware of the day and our route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroanaconda Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Some of those 'greenlanes' are better than a pay and play site. One great thing about the MoD, they don't really seem to care about the state of them Brilliant day, except for my alternator dying at the end and having to drive 100 miles home in the dark with ever diminishing light power!

landroversforever Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 some lovely muddy ones near German Village bet all the wet weather made them even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Ah yes, enjoyed getting a look at CDV again. Been a while since I played airsoft there, lot of new stuff around by the looks of it. Saw some containers that weren't there before. Completely forgot to take photos unfortunately, but I'm sure someone else took some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Wet and smelly - that special kind of smelly when you have chalk and clay. And there were some "interesting" smells near some pheasant coups (or huts, or houses, or whatever they're called). I have a few photos, but they'll have to wait to tomorrow night or Tuesday. Unfortunately, because the day started wet, I didn't want to get my camera too wet unnecessarily, so not many I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSD Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Funny spot of the day was the 'older' lady walking her dogs up Wilsford Hill. We waited for a couple of minutes for her to walk up the track towards us, as we were heading down. She walked straight up to the drivers side window, and just as we were expecting the full tirade about noisy 4x4s tearing up the lanes and bothering the dogs, she said "You should try driving UP this hill, it's Brilliant!"

steve200TDi Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I had an excellant time and got surprisly muddy for a green laning trip...maybe it was all those muddy puddles! Thanks to Colin Read (thanks jules!) for organising it with maps etc. A few pictures: 01 - Mine! 02 - Route number two we chose! 03 - our group (Just noticed the camel looks surprisingly like Dan's!) 04 - All parked up for lunch Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwcooper Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 There are some really good lanes out on the plain, good to see that you did a few of them! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
