It's very open and well patrolled by MOD Police and Range Wardens - you may get away with camping on this bit of grass Here behind the stones.
The Range Wardens will know you are there but they may allow it.
It's very near a nice pub as well. |

Tommo of tommo&claire on the 90 forum has been in touch with the range wardens and can get info like this.
It does help that he is military. _________________ Les

I'm on a Farm in Devizes - if you get stuck and need somewhere to stop - I'm sure I could find you some space
(P.s. No I cant create an off road track on the Farm - the grass is our bread and butter!) - Plus less than 10 miles to Salisbury Plain

Bit of an area for camping eh?
Sounds like a plan.
What do you do with the grass? _________________ 1995 4.2 80 Series VX 24 valve, manual. 285/75 - 16 BFG Muds, Ironman +2", TJM Winch Bumper with T-Max Winch, Safari Snorkel, Superpro poly bush kit.

Cheers! Sound advice.
If anyone else is tempted to try this puddle, bear in mind that the column separating the ruts is brick hard whilst the ruts are two feet deep.
I need new skid pans... _________________ 97 SWB Prado, 79 BJ40 |

Busa is STILL in the North and wants to claim the chairmanship of the prestigious TLOCUKSB?????
Claiming membership in the 'SB is even pushing it
Ecky, you have my vote as the democratically-elected chairman of TLOCUKSB!
