Open primarily to Big Trailies, GSs and the like.

This will be slightly less novice friendly, as it will contain some muddy patches and some fords and the like. All will however be easily ridden on a big trailie with a half competent and confident rider on board tho. Newbies will be more than welcome and looked after, just come with a "have a go" attitude and you will be fine.
I would recommend using TKCs or similar not road biased rubber tho.:burnout:
A hint of things to come:

Meet @ Solstice Park, Amesbury ready for a 09:30 start.
Travelling to Solstice Park, available development land uk, business park uk, relocating your business, Holiday Inn Salisbury-Stonehenge, Solstice Brasserie, The Crescent Offices

Please fill up* before hand.
(*= You might want to consider just how full you need to be if you own a bike with a large tank. It all adds to the weight you have to balance/pick up when you don't. I use less than one 8l tank on the 450 doing this route)

I plan to pretty much stick to the normal marker system, so please take a look here:

Also PLEASE take a look at http://www.trf.org.uk/download.php?FILE=102 and note the TRF code of conduct.



I can't really tell you too much about the route/distance etc, as I plan to cuff it, according to how well people are doing.
What I can tell you is, the trail WILL have the odd slippery/sandy/muddy patch, but if everyone looks out for each other they won't present anything more than a "challenge" to your mind. They aren't too difficult and unless you get it WAY wrong and end up in the trees:o, shouldn't be bike damaging if you do get it wrong.:)
That said, if people are finding it too easy/hard, I can alter to suit.:burnout:
Suck it and see as they say. ;D

Above all, the day is yours to enjoy, but please, not at the expense of other countryside users.

There is plenty of car parking space.

(note this is a fairly new service area and may not be on all GPS maps)
 
Would a G450X be ok on this.

I am new to off roading but have done the Offroad level 1 course on a G1200 and have an 1200 ADV as road/touring
