  • Xmas on Salisbury plain

    Right i am not doing a xmas run this year due to other issues BUT there is a xmas nav run if you are interested. you will need to get some maps and it will cost £10 per truck ..... still interested here are the details


    Date: Saturday 29th December 29-12-2012
    Start and Finish: The Bustard Pub (Grid Ref 0920 - 4620)
    Sta*: 09.30am
    Finish: 03.30pm
    Entry Fee: f 10.00 per vehicle
    Maps l{equired: Explorer 130-131
    All routes have proven vehicular rights. Some of the lanes are still signed as'restricted
    byways, bridleway or footpath'. Please ignore these signs, the lanes have either already
    been upgraded to byway status or are going through the upgrading process.
    As normal the run is completely non competitive, and is intended to educate you as to
    where the R.O,W actually are while enjoying a day out with like minded people.
    In the unlikely event of a mechanical breakdown, you'll be recovered to the nearest hard
    surface road to arrange your own onward recovery' IE AA-RAC etc.
    Due to the military wanting to close some of the lanes this could be your last chance to
    drive them before the matter is carried out. As with the last couple of Christmas Nav runs
    we've included a couple of 'OPTIONAL SECTiONS' which depending on weather conditions
    could be very wet and muddy with deep water.
    As there is likely to be other groups out and about over the holiday period please make sure
    you maintain distance between groups of vehicles and make sure you don't pick up vehicles
    following your group. If this happens STOP and wave them on. We don't want to be
    accused of running convoys and massive groups of vehicles.
    If you want to be included on the mailing list for future NAV runs, make sure I've got your
    NAME/ADDRESS/PHONE.
    Emergency Phone Number: a7974 697632 (If you can get a signal)

    BTW there are markers to follow as well . I have a group of 4 going. This is a good way to learn the plain and also a last chance to drive some routes .
