Salisbury plain

[Lofty999]

Have been greenlaning,bikes,on the plain for a year now and still not sure where we are legally allowed.any ideas?It seems half the byways are only marked one end and most of the access points have no signage at all but are obviously used.Also told by plod up there that ALL metalled tracks are ok,again,no signs

Confused

It's not that I don't no where I am,I stay on the marked byways,but it seems that I normally come across others,mainly 4x4 ,with GPS or better maps than my os explorer who advise that a lot of in marked tracks which they use are legal.I just want to make the most of the area but stay legal at the same time so as not to give us all more bad press!

Cheers spare tyre,will do

Is access permitted on any of the hard pack tracks on imbed ranges? As with the rest of the plain or is it a complete no go zone ?

first visit to the plain for a while and came across an abandoned 4x4 in deep water between shrew ton and chittering!

Still there ... Usually 3 on duty at any one time (one for each section of the Plain) running shifts. Backed up by the MODPol patrols & the Usual security perimeter patrols around the camps.

Expect them to be paying particular attention to Imber Ranges this time of year as passage to the Village Church is permitted.

On the subject of imber I understand that the hard pack tracks are open,is this true,or is there one fixed route?Understand access is from Warminster end,but are we allowed to access from other points,ie chitterne area?
