The entrance to the site's about here: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?G2M?X=415320&Y=145639&A=Y&Z=5
I guess it took about an hour to get back to the M25, I was too shattered to notice really.

MOD access page for Salisbury Plain: http://www.defence-estates.mod.uk/access/walks/accopplocations/accopp_salisburyplain.htm
We were in the eastern section. Looks like there's a pile more to the west, including Imber which is only open a couple of days per year.

Excellent!
I'm running the marathon between Salisbury and Winchester earlier that day - so if anyone could kindly provide me with a mobile number, I'll have a chance of catching up with you at some point when I'm done.
Thanks in anticipation,

Hello chaps
Saw the post of last weekends bash
. So if the weather is conducive on Sunday (not pissing down), then I’m fancying coming along to the gig if I may .
Is there anyone going down from the Bristol area that wants to hook up?
As for off road experience, I’ve ridden a few dirt tracks and that’s about it, and I’ve also yet to experience splashing through a large puddle

I did it for the first time in Wales last weekend. We had been following quite a rutted path through the forest with my mate on the left rut and me stuck in the right rut with a bloody great drop to my side
We came to this muddly puddle about 40ft long, Thing was you new there were ruts but couldn't see them.
In the end we both said feck it and opened up the throttles and went for it.
A huge bow wave of mud and a lot of snaking and we made it through ok. Didn't even put a foot down
Was great fun and my mate has gone and had TKC80's fitted today ready for Sunday.
I'm still on the slicks though.

Yep
i'm thinking of sticking a set of TKC's on mine also (i've currently got 206's slicks on her).
that fording malarkey sounds like fun though
Well I have just plumped for a set of TKC80's.
I have put a link in the Discount section. Pair of tyres from Busters.... £113.34 plus £4.50 postage.
Bargain.

Ouch! 180 odd quid fitted for me... and I got my shocks replaced this afternoon (courtesy of Steptoe) so I'm very excited about Sunday too. It's getting very expensive.blues n twos said:Well I have just plumped for a set of TKC80's.

Got a set of TKC's fitted today by my local Kawasaki dealer 
cost £117 + fitting & balancing £53 total £170 inclusive.....wish i had the gear to fit my own tyres.
Rode home in the pissing rain on them and they didn’t feel too bad really, which was nice.
