The Ridgeway Overton Hill to Barbury Castle?

[mevans]

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!:

Nice to see piccies of different lanes,shame that so much of the Ridgeway is now closed to traffic

Agreed,
the byway goes straight up through the hill fort and gets more interesting after that. Although there was a byway going around the hill fort, didnt want to risk going any further in an unmodified truck!

Standard cars are generally more capable than given credit for,that said it is always a good idea to go out with another,just in case
