boboneleg Posted Monday at 17:39 Share Posted Monday at 17:39 It's that time of the year again where the trails get covered in leaves and as you ride them you have no idea what's underneath which makes it more exciting As I was excused nursing duties yesterday it was time to get out for a ride so I headed in the general direction of Salisbury Plain but decided that as I was on my own to do some less travelled trails, one's that I wouldn't normally do. As soon as I got onto the Plain my immediate plan was thwarted as the Army were on exercise so Westdown and Larkhill ranges were closed.......... I rode around the perimeter path until I could get back on track but then realised that I had one in the departure lounge so this proved to be very convenient (can you see what I did there ) and then onto some tracks that were either new to me or hadn't done for a long time ................ I then got to this which was only meant to be a small brook , I walked it first and decided that as I was on my own I would retreat and find another way around as it about three feet deep in the middle I was a bit hungry by now so I popped into Tidworth for a bite to eat and some petrol for the bike. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted Monday at 17:42 Author Share Posted Monday at 17:42 I rode back onto the Plain and I came across one of the Army's play areas, last time I was here was about 15 years ago, they call it the Chalk Pit........... Then I started heading back towards home via some less used tracks .............. and then some more leafy surprise on the last lane of the day ............... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted Monday at 18:53 Share Posted Monday at 18:53 If leafs on the ground making ruts a surprise is nice, I would think you'd love the random mortar shell to spice things up! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
