As your doing a "gravel run" at the end of the month,why not make this a "red-run" ride-out,as there are loads more byways I've yet to show you.
Cheers,

That photo is of the training (also known as the German) village on Copehill Down.This area is open 24/7 as there is loads of byways surrounding it.
The Imber Village/Range is only open three or four times every year,and the only access is on the permissive routes through the village
Cheers,
Andy

Re: Imber village-August
Shall have a look at the diary later. Would love to pop down, but I'm there* in the middle of August with my local TRF group as well - for which I've decided to take the Ténéré, even though everyone else will be on small enduro bikes, what could possibly go wrongTramp wrote:We usually go out on the saturday as its quiter ,less tourists in their cars and walkers on the lanes..and a day or two to rest the aching limbs..
. Two trips down there in three weekends might not meet with approval from the boss 
*somewhere in Wilts anyway.
