The Ridgeway Overton Hill to Barbury Castle? by mevans on Sat Aug 29, 2009 7:16 pm
Anyone drive it.?
Was looking at going tommorow. Any problems to be encountered with an unmodified truck on road tyres?
Did a search, but got nothing of help.

Thanks guys.

Well,
We are back and still in one piece. Really easy and well kept route. Couple of little bits that challenged the underbody protection, but nothing it couldnt handle. Would really reccomend this to anyone who is wanting to try greenlaning for the first time. The car hardly even got dirty!
Pictures to follow

We are impatient arent we?! lol

The drive there took us through Swindon, which was nice:

And a few shots of the route:

The only other 4x4 we saw on the route.

There were byways shooting off all over the place, most of which had no date restrictions whatsoever

And the hill fort at the end:

We set off for home, and decided to travel via Shilton to take in the ford. Was a bit gutted when we got there and it was under 1ft deep, but water is water!:
