Last month my fiancee and I met up with some old hands for a guided tour of Salisbury Plain or as ex-army types know it, Salisbury Plain Training Area. That's because although there is a mass of really good unsurfaced byways and unclassified road, you have to share it with the army. That's also why it's a good idea to have friends who know where they're going as it's easy to stray off the permitted tracks into the military areas. Seeing tanks or other mobile weaponry is not uncommon on the tarmac, let alone the unsurfaced roads. Our trip took us past Germany Village (specially built in the 80s to train for Cold War scenarios and recently updated to include middle east areas, and strictly off limits).
Many of the unsurfaced roads are nice field-edge lanes and farm tracks, but there are some that have been turned into mud baths by the military vehicles that also use them. There aren't many photos of those because we were having too much fun to take photos. The final one is on the byway that runs past a famous landmark... the byway is nothing special, but driving past Stonehenge is pretty cool
