Off roading in the SW
- Thread starter Bigbadbaz
- Start date
I discovered offroad riding on the Plains when I joined Clive's ride earlier this year and have since done more map reading than riding due to weather issues and the lack of knobblies
My last recce was here and I shall repeat the region when things dry a little:
My offroad abilities are limited to simple stuff

I'm desperately lookin for an excuse NOT to have to clean me bike this weekend, and an imminent trail ride would do nicely as there's no point in cleaning it if it's gonna get covered in shite again in a few days, so if you guys don't mind me taggin along 
I'm pretty handy at pickin up GS's.

Sounds like a good day out, unfortuantly I'm working but looking forward to meeting some of you on the 28th.

Damn. I need a new set of Tourances and a day off work before I can do this - and I can't afford either the day off or the tyres at the moment so will have to wait. Damn also 'cos this is exactly what I want to learn to do on my GS.
I live in Gosport so Salisbury plain is easy to get to from here.

what time are you guys meeting? is this open to all??
I'm looking for an excuse to wheel the WR450 back out - hopefully I'll last longer than last weekend
The bustard is the place on the left at the start of the route Clive uses for the whitehorse tour right?? pretty sure I know where you're on about.

Personally I'm easy, but it's not my thread really I just eased in whilst no one was looking.
I think Baz'nBob kinda got it rolling, so up to those guys.

Hi All
I have just had a word with Baz and he is going to be at the Bustard Inn from about 1pm
we don't mind a few others tagging along
I have had to change my plan slightly so can not be able get up there until about 2pm but Baz will be there and for a First off road ride its a very good area with some nice wide open tracks
the plan is then to make our way round and back down to Bournemouth along the easiest tracks we can find
As we are starting late we will only get a couple of hours of riding in before it gets dark but there is a plan to do it again mid week before Xmas if it is going to happen we will post it in this thread
see you there

Well Millard and I managed to get our bikes dirty and my first off road outing ended in at least 5 slow speed drops due to muddy tracks but I enjoyed every minute of it! Roll on the next one.

Dont worry its pretty slippy around this way, especially when its wet
hopefully you didnt do any damage to either the bike or yourself

It was a very enjoyable couple of hours and Baz did very well. The conditions were kinda slippy to say the least. Mine went down a few times as well.
Millard you are too kind! I have a mate who is ex MOD Police so I will see if I can source a military OS map which shows ranges and opening times etc. Look forward to the next outing which will be on the 28th as I have the time off!
