Salisbury Plain 28th August
Big thank you to SJM, Bob Neville and BPman (plus friends and family) that came along to Salisbury Plain today.

Great fun with the right weather and depth of water! Forget the snorkel, might have to consider a periscope.

Company was brilliant and apart from a few motorbikes we had the whole place to our selves

Will let you know when the next one occurs Mr. Green

Looks good. Wouldn't mind bringing mine along if you guys have another run later in the year. I will admit now though I would be avoiding the worst of the mud. 2011 110 USW

Yep, have to agree with all this - many thanks Mark for a top day out! My cousin is now determined to get a Defender or Discovery, so one more joins the clan Wink

Great routes today as well. As you know, my first trip to Salisbury but what a great start!!! Very good to meet some faces too - a very pleasant way to spend the day! Now looking at the bumper that Bob has for sale Whistle and the ZU rims and BFG tyres will be ordered next week....

Thanks again Mark - great day out with great company Thumbs Up Simon

Er, being truthful here, I thought we were ALL going through the deeper water - but not to worry Embarassed Simon

Looks like you had fun, sorry I couldn't come along to this one Mark.

Would you let a D3 join you on the next one Very Happy ?!

I'd be very happy to see a D3 there - my wife has one, and I'd like to give that some proper mud too! Very Happy Simon

More than happy for a D3 as well as families.

I also go out with the guys from the Disco3club. Salisbury Plain is perfectly suited to the D3 as is is wide open and less likely to pick up body damage and scratches.

We have been over in my wife's D3 and it is luxury.

Some pictures below of a run i sorted out in February

Worth looking at the Disco3club site as they are taking names for the pre Xmas run

I am away from this weekend for a week

Once i get the next update from the warden i will let all those that have shown an interest know

Regards

Mark
