Please think before going out in wet weather. I've had a call from the MOD Police on Salisbury Plain today to say that they have counted in excess of 80 vehicles within a couple of hours. They went on to say the lanes are trashed and locals have been complaining.
This is irresponsible. If you must go out, remember the ground is totally sodden, so please pick sustainable routes. 16 Like · · Share 16 people like this.

Hello Jim
As below from facebook Please think before going out in wet weather. I've had a call from the MOD Police on Salisbury Plain today to say that they have counted in excess of 80 vehicles within a couple of hours. They went on to say the lanes are trashed and locals have been complaining. This is irresponsible. If you must go out, remember the ground is totally sodden, so please pick sustainable routes. 16Like · · Share 16 people like this.

Great day indeed and no idiods in our midst, all were impeccably behaved and stuck to existing and sustainable routes - thanks again Steve.
