Turbocharger Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Who fancies a day out on the Plain? Don't mind - Saturday or Sunday, 10am start and sandwiches for dinner. Vote up if you want to come along, then put your name at the bottom of the topic too so we can see who's interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday 10am in Erlestoke then? there's a nice little byway in the next village from Erlestoke.... Eddington. it goes right past someones house who always seems to park his car on the BW! it used to be really rutted, but i think the council have levelled it, but it takes you right up onto the southern range road on the plain.... lovely stuff!!!

I can offer you a few Wiltshire ROW probems if you can do more about it that the local ROW dept. seem willing to do. No good, council tax collecting....

I know the one - and use it quite often - goes up past a few houses and an old church? I have never found it blocked though and the surface is now made up from gravel/road planings. There are some great views from there. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBMUD Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Blocked lanes, locked gates, un-official diversions, electric fences across lanes... Reports to the CC have no effect, not so much as any feedback. Are you "someone" then? PM me if you prefer or I will PM my telephone number.

Turbocharger Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 Looks like the clue's in his sig, Chris... I've not got a (working) CB but I've PM'd Cartman, Jim and Minivin with my mobile number. Will anyone else be about and interested in a chug or will I have resort to burying my spare wheel and winching if I do get stuck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I'll be at Earlestoke on Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Looks like the clue's in his sig, Chris... Ah, I have the viewing signatures option turned off. I was upset recently by a rediculously long sig that looked more like a web page tacked onto a post. I will take a look... Chris PS: Ah, I see now.

minivin Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 ?? If I wreck the propshaft I've only got ten miles to go home, however the drive needs more gravel so I may get two bags and stick them in the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Raider Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Not being narky here but suggest you advertise your ferry ticket ? you never know someone may be able to go at the last minute and you'd get your money back? more to spend at Billing!

minivin Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 with less than a week to go I doubt anybody would have left it that late, not sure whether it could be transfered to someone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minivin Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 So, are you not going now then? Anything I can do to help? Not that I am trying to get rid of you... Chris nope not going, still work to be done on the truck with solving transmission issues, if I'd have had one more week I could have done it but time is not on my side. Tonk's going to get the machining done next week for me and then we'll have to look at doing the gearbox change someone in a fortnights time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
