Now were climbing up onto the Plain............. Salisbury Plain is huge (by UK standards) and has tracks going everwhere but you need to understand that it's overseen by the MOD and they control where you can and can't ride , for your own safety. It is an impact area where live munitions and tank training are carried out, and it's a great area to ride as long as you obey the warning signs, your life could be in danger if you stray off the byways and permissive routes....... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salisbury_Plain This is the perimeter path, it is a gravel track which skirts the perimeter of the Plain. But you can also ride the muddy track to the right or the grassy track to the left............

So onto the next set of lanes which were very dissapointing as the local authority has decided to tarmac them........... and now I'm heading for a couple of lanes that will lead to the Plain........... But before I get there I ride down this lovely old holloway near Potterne.......

So today I wanted to get the little CRF out and go for a trail ride, there are some lanes to the north of Salisbury Plain that I haven't done for a long time so I decided to head that way. I certainly wasn't going to go anywhere to the south of the plain near Stonehenge as it would be heaving with hippies all trying to get there for the summer solstice . I got away by 08.00hrs and after filling the tank it was a 20 mile ride on tarmac to the first lane . Just a short byaway which was cut in half in the 90's when they built the A350 bypass around Chippenham..... and then onto the village of Laycock which is largely owned by the National Trust.... The local shop really needs to check the sell-by dates on some of their stock ? and then passed by Laycock Abbey which is well worth a visit if you're roundabouts.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacock_Abbey

I remember on a trip to France/Italy one of our party made an excellent Spagbol, Fred wouldn't even eat that, Deano had to make him a burger ?

Who remembers him from Maximum bikes ? Bloody brilliant ride reports. I just seem him in a thread on ADV rider...........

If it's any help Ian, I just copy and paste the you tube link straight into this box ? Like this ................

The coke looks ok but your dinner in that bowl looks rank ?

I've just kitted up the little bike as I'm off for some trail riding tomorrow. I am heading towards Salisbury Plain but I'll be staying mainly to the north as the hippies will be out in force around Stonehenge for the summer solstice even though Boris has told them to stay at home ?

Ozzy

Scroats

Feckin nosehair doesn't ?

I blame the twat in charge with the blond combover

Got to say Chris, you do live in a great area for riding, doesn't seem to matter which direction you head there are good roads and history everywhere

That's a proper road, tarmac is overrated. Can we hear the swearing next time , makes it more exciting ?

I'm missing my boat fix

Where's the 'run like fuck' smiley

I'll take three of them, send them around to the servants door and they'll deal with it

How many fingers do you use to pull on your levers (not that sort), clutch and brake. Do you use a different amount on the brake to your clutch ? Are you a flash fucker with no clutch lever (Honda DCT) ? You wanted some new threads Pete, this is top drawer stuff, feckin rivetting ? Personally I use two fingers on each

I work in a Ducati shop, we have lots of oil. If it's good enough for those highly strung darlings then it's good enough for my bikes ?

You have sooooooooo much land to roam around Is that Merc abandoned , that would make good money over here..............

Should I have a change today and shave the left side of my face before the right ?

Some great photos there, what a cool place to ride.

Early morning ride mate, get up before the Gallo
