Re: First time on Salisbury Plain, KTM 1090 R

Wiltshire Council do a good on-line map http://wiltscouncil.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=43d5a86a545046b2b59fd7dd49d89d22 Use it in conjunction with the OS Salisbury and the Plain map (Landranger 184) and you will find loads of routes. Most are well signed on the ground too. Very...

Re: First time on Salisbury Plain, KTM 1090 R

Good efforts sir especially solo. The rutted bit after the whoops by the air strip has effectively been shut for a number of years now and is posted at both ends for future reference. There is a permissive byeway to the right after the bigger puddle. Mr Spielberg is making an epic over that way too...

https://youtu.be/J3AsKy3I-VY Here's a video of my first green laning on the 1090 R on Salisbury Plain. The video below tries to show that the conditions were like and how the bike handled. I rode part of a TRF published route in Viewranger (https://my.viewranger.com/route/details/NTYwNzk=). This is...

Re: Snowdonia Discovery Route-- rode last week

You rode right past our house! The roads round here are beautiful and that route seems to take in the best of them. There's some great offroad trails too for anyone wanting to do the same basic loop on a more dual sport orientated bike. That route must have like 50 pubs on it too - which is never a...

Re: Snowdonia Discovery Route-- rode last week

Great vid, thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoyed the route, I really enjoyed putting it together. In the next issue of the mag there's a coast to coast route from South Wales to Aberystwyth and it's an absolute stunner. I think you did a great job with the route, even if there are some pretty small ...
