SLROC Forum

The MOD on Salisbury Plain have asked us to put this out:

_______________________________________________

“Rivers are in flood, the ground saturated & many springs that have not run for years are now active. A number of villages on Salisbury Plain are now flooded e.g. Chitterne, Netheravon and Tilshead.

Please do not come to the Plain for recreational purposes until further notice.
_______________________________________________

Seek out sustainable lanes during this exceptional wet period that we are experiencing.

Please share with as many groups and forums as possible.

Many thanks

I nip down most Tuesday evenings

 

The same logic applies up here too: there's no point in going mad in some waterlogged hole
1) you risk breaking/sinking/losing your vehicle
2) you make a huge mess, which reflects badly on the whole of our "sport"

Had a day planned there last week in something a bit more capable than a Rover and retired after the first couple of hours, the sticky bits were very sticky and the wet bits were rivers/torrents, it was suggested we should try a hovercraft, personally I retired to a hot café for bacon rolls.
