Used to drive the Plain quite a bit a few years back. Last w/end was the first time in ages. A lot of it's off limits since I last drove there & there's a lot more SSIs. Don't know where you drive (but I'm starting to get an idea) but we bumped in to a few others out laning. One geezer we met tagged along with us for most of the day.
 
hi i dont do the laneing its all about hills and mud and water for me.. there is a lot of places you are aloud and when you get to know the wardens like we have they are ok,the hill was a fluke as we enterd the woods from the wrong side and didnt get our bearings so we took the gamble as if you head for a gravel track you cant go wrong as theese are all aloud and the quickest way with a look thru the binos was straight down,,but we love the plain and living so close we go out a lot
 
When we spoke to the warden last week he was telling us how they are only aloud to have 5% of the plain as non foilage. That means that every time someone creates a new route or churns up the grass and turns it into mud another mud hole/ lane gets levelled and filled. The one that daft got stuck in is about to get filled in the next couple of weeks.
 
so how does this work with tanks..when we was out thurs the tanks had been everywhere and they make a great mess of the grass and dont stick to routes also when the sun bakes the mud they churn up it goes rock solid and is a bugger to drive over..

When it reaches 5% again that is when they have to start filling them in. It has reached that at the moment.
 
yes how do they measure it???..if you look at the os map there must be 50 square miles plus and im sure they dont patrol it all..think he might be pulling a fast one i live 1 mile from the plain and have lived here for 38 yrs and have never heard of or seen any of this taking place

well there wuz 5 of us chatting to him last weekend and thats what he said.
 
do they dig another hole on the plain to get the mud to fill in the one thats getting levelled?..satellite jiggery pokery?..seems like a lot of work for someone to do just to see if the grass is getting spoiled.then they have to get all the army type folks to actually do the work,seems more trouble than its worth think hes trying to scare you blokes off..

That makes sense otherwise the whole of the plains would get chewed up by tanks & stuff, So I suppose they have to do some sort of land management plan to try and keep on top of it all.
