Sorry Bud... Unless someone backs out as its max 6..... Gotta think of covid 19 etc and no wagon trains.... I'd rather of been 4 max but 6 is okay... Especially on the wide open plain.

No worries, maybe have a run out when it's a bit damper could see dust trail miles back.

okay ive included a new days track with the addition of some new trails one everyone loves as its through "west wood" near marlborough followed by a flat field with a few gates :lol: ...then onto the plain as before ...

All I can add is please bring a face covering/mask if we need them for any shops or petrol which is availabe along the route as long as everyone has enough for the first 30miles....again nothing too hard ive missed out the tree route uphill section and the horrible rutted bit :o ..

any questions just ask...its gonna be hot but there is plenty of woods to shelter in along the day..

Okay last post from me before the ride out... Its going to be very hot so I will make use of the woods regularly to let folks cool down etc.... The cafe is open from 8am and we depart 10.30am....

If anyone wants to stop enroute during the day for any reason just stop... Its a casual day out... Dust off the covid blues and have a laugh...

I may make a few u turns lol... To the boys or ladyboys lol from Kent the m3 A303 to Andover is best route the m4 has lots of 50mph restrictions on travel ....

Ill pm dibbs my mobile number...

If and when you do another count me in.
