I came south a few years ago in my Freelander and drove part of the Ridgeway and some lanes in the Salisbury area with a group from the Freelander Club. It was quite challenging for the Freelanders in places but would be a gentle Sunday drive in an RRS/D3. So does anybody know their way around those parts and where you can and cannot go. There is an interesting item in the December issue of LROI regarding driving on the military land on the Plain which looks like it would be an interesting day out and the drive can be guided using a local company who know what is happening with the military.
Would anybody else be interested in a weekend of exploring down in those parts, guided or unguided? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

On the other side, we have driven it a few times, once as an official D3 event, pretty easy stuff but great countryside and beware of going wrong or speeding because they will get you!

I read of fines of up to £20k for being in the wrong place........... £300 for speeding. And they can even confiscate your car which would mean a long walk home for me if I got it really wrong! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I would be very interested

I would definitely go on this too.
VA has done one. From the pics of his mud covered RRS, it looked great fun. Matt

You do need to be a bit careful, remember it is a greenlane not a pay and play day. But there are lots of lanes all non damaging, TFC has some routes marked out.

I would be interested, depending on dates and w**k commitments. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

Have just dug out my OS maps of the area and the last time I went round those parts the groups started at Ogborne St George and the area north of Marlborough (not Salisbury Plain at all!)and then around Avebury on the Sunday- some great lanes round there, all non damaging but I remember them being very muddy and it was in November..... there are some cracking pubs round that area too. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I think 10forcash has got some very good routes marked up for Salisbury plain.

It'd be worth running it as a joint RRS/D3 event - would definitely get a good crowd out  Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

Okay, someone in the know needs to organise this. I'll do what I can to help. Matt

To be fair if you are happy to drive the same routes the organising is done, although it might need a recce to check the lanes.

I'll definetely come along

I'm just about to go away for a holiday in the sunshine, but will check in if I can while I'm away and see what the decision is. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
