I'm quite sure the lanes and fords planned are all non-damaging, at least nothing that will cause dents. I am checking one out tomorrow to see what condition its in as it was a bit overgrown last time I drove it.
James mentioning Salisbury has got me thinking of a trip down that way but I do not know the lanes in that area, would anyone be up for leading, I would love to come along. Cheers, Dan 2011 110 USW 1973 Series III 1-Ton 1972 Series III 1-Ton Cherrypicker 1969 IIA 1-Ton 1966 IIA 88" |

Just spotted Bens reply.............
Depending on numbers it's healthy to split into groups of 5 (some say 7), therefore Ben could give Jez and I the route and we can take 3 groups meeting a pre-agreed interesting points. James  |

I'm abroad then and he is away too I think. I went out to check a lane with Ben J85 today and I don't think its doable unless people can live with scratches, its very slippy and overgrown so I think we will have to pass. This does mean we only have one decent lane to do which is up near Banbury, so Ben and I are suggesting that if there is enough interest we do that one and then maybe just head to the plain? 2011 110 USW 1973 Series III 1-Ton 1972 Series III 1-Ton Cherrypicker 1969 IIA 1-Ton 1966 IIA 88" |

That's the trouble with this time of year, most lanes are quite overgrown. The good thing about Sailsbury is that the majority of it is open and not enclosed by foliage.

Yes we were talking about that today. The one near Banbury is very open though. 2011 110 USW 1973 Series III 1-Ton 1972 Series III 1-Ton Cherrypicker 1969 IIA 1-Ton 1966 IIA 88" |

Sorry James, that wasn't filmed on SPTA, but at STANTA, Stanford training area, in Norfolk. Looks very similar to Copehill down FIBUA though out on the 'plain. |

Both STANTA and SPTA FIBUA villages now have additional "Afghan" area's, mainly around the outside of the Village itself. The one on STANTA has been wired into the control room so they can play the sounds and set the pyro off as and when required. 2002 Defender 110 DC |
