Salisbury plain beware
Re: Salisbury plain beware
Probably seized due to no insurance.
Edited to add....
Or a section 59 offence. Antisocial driving/riding.

Re: Salisbury plain beware
THANKS Steve..
to be fair to the police and landmarshalls they do a excellent light handed approach...it was always hard in the past to decied which was a byeway and which not. But they have errected many signs...but not all are marked up.
its the mx and idiots who spoil it , they care for no one even other enduro riders,had a few close calls in the past,its a huge area with few landmarks so getting lost is easy...a map is required but a sat nav wit the new garmin gb discovery or memory map is best as it shows exaactly where you are.
I've had a few disagrements in the past with the law over. Trails, if you can show common sence then fine..be civil they are looking out for you as there is lots of unexploded bombs off piste...
ride safe and eenjoy this area..

Re: Salisbury plain beware
When we were down there with Tramp last year we missed a turning on the trails and the police in a few 4x4 pick ups pulled us over, checked us out and pointed out where we should have been and wished us good riding for the rest of the day
They even cleaned our number plates for us
Nice chaps and sensibly policed
