Myself, holly the dogs and Stu/ nick headed to Salisbury early sat morning.
It was a last min type trip that just got casually mentioned at lincomb but we made it happen.
Thanks to Stu who has some map reading skills. Nice to have Nick come.
We had a good long day on Saturday and set up camp around 9pm.
I'll add some photos later on.
Was a really nice chilled weekend with plenty of tea and chatting rubbish. I've not done any greening for ages and we really enjoyed it.
 
Looking forward to the photos Karl.

We did a smallish part of the plains at the weekend and alot of the ridgeway area. I have not been around the ridgeway for a long time due to lane closures so was very happy that the amount has reopened.
There was alot of byway sign posts even deep into the lanes so finding your way around was easy compared to alot of areas.
We had a great weekend and wild camped 1 night which I am.not keen on sleeping on the ridgeway but this time was uneventful.

If you like your paintwork I would recommend the ridgeway

With this being the first trip for the truck I thought we may have had a couple of issues. The fuel side was always going to be a big ? As it had Been standing for so long. Wasn't too bad really. Worse part was stripping the floor out and taking the fridge out. It was a good excuse for another cup of tea and another chat :)

Awesome weekend. Thanks guys n girls.

Videos to follow, some are short cos i figured it looked like an interesting bit and some are long. Not bothering to edit so sorry if they're boring.
 
Nick, that's a cracking rear bumper / rear swing out carrier combo you've got there. Is that new? Looks fantastic. I'd love to hear more about that .....

BTW. the pictures for next year's calendar have already been picked. It's 12 pictures of my trailer ha ha.
 
We did around 100 miles all on dirt roads over 2 days there is so much more to do I want to go again asap.

Gary get in touch and we could make a plan to go.

If you guys have the room, we'd love to tag along. Understand if it's a keep numbers low job though.....
 
Some great videos there Nick.
Was you camera on when you had a little play on the more advanced bit ?
 
Knew I'd forgotten something
