Just got back from doing a "dry run" - looking good; expect your pride and joy to get dirty!  Nothing difficult - mixture of tarmac, pot holes and made up stone tracks. For those that have been before, we have mixed the route up a bit for a fresh look. I just hope that we get decent weather........... Imber Church is due to be open as well - bonus. Bring a spare coil and make sure you are "fuelled up" - Granada Services petrol station should be open. Graham |

Well that was damned good fine. All my raid preparations paid off. What did I do to prepare the UKs only roadworthy Belgian AK350 for a hoon across Salisbury Plain? I tied a rope to the front bumper. Did it serve it's purpose? Yes it, got muddy and looked cool. Attachment: Library - 00010.jpg [ 639.54 KiB | Viewed 6212 times ] |

It fared better than the driver then, whose apostrophes and commas seem to have been both shaken and stirred?  ken samfieldhouse wrote: Well that was damned good fine.
