I was going to post this in the Greenlaning section but want the most people to see it as possible - so Mods will leave it up to you to decide,

 When out on Salisbury plain in a working capacity i came accross a scene that perfectly sums up why we have lost the battle to keep our right to drive the Rupps , 3Range-rovers,3Disco s, 2 90 s, 1 Nissan Patrol-
useing an Anciant burial mound to race across and get some air- with wifes and siblings in the gallery clapping the antics, when i approached them they gathered up spectators and did a star-burst in all directions-meet ing up some mile or so away, I took a short cut around a wood to find them now hammering up and down an old Roman road/ditch which was fenced off with poles with white painted tops to show -Monument status -i drove up to the parked up motors and asked if they were aware they could be arrested and also loose there motors for there actions-
this was met by mass jeering - i then told them that they were miles from any Byway and was met with so what!
I then did something that i have never done before in my life -i rang the
MOD Police and Grassed them  giving OS map referance to pinpoint them the Rights of way officer accompanied by 4 more Police 90 s and 8 officers turned up chatted to each in turn -issued 30 pound tickets for tresspass and told them to leave, They have to catch you in the act to arrest and summonds you to court- ,There numbers go on the central computor  for future referance and thats it -but the Legacey of there actions live on when Rights of way officer gives his account to the PRESS
Officer, and we all know how thats going to read dont we? Gutted

Spot on at the end of the day you did the right thing. even though is more ammo for the anti lot. But think of the press it would of got had they trashed the roman ditch. I used to train on the plain in sabre and chall 2 and we all knew to leave the big mole hills :lol:  well alone so if a dum tank driver could advode them so can i civvey drivers. shame there were no challs near you  I would love to see there face when a chally points its main gun towards them and tells them to leave :shock: still like its been said before its the small band of pratts that spoil it for everyone.

You did the right thing reporting them. Because they "might" not do it again.

I agree.

I'm very new myself to off roading and have so far attempted "no" green laning as i'm unsure where i can and cannot drive legally. Shame those idiots didn't show the same consideration for our countryside/laws.

By the way....if anyone has any info on green laning routes in or near to S/E Scotland please let me know :D

Well done, they *might* learn from this but even if they dont, their numbers are now recorded.
I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

Why? I hope they are reading this. Perhaps it may then sink in that what they are doing is unacceptable and we, the responsible off-roading community, can do without complete w**nkers like this in our midst.

Just my opinion.

They had the option to listen to you, aknowledge you, and take appropriate action.
Ive been on lanes where the (legal) status was a bit ....erm....hazy...... and wondered if they were a ROW.
If anyone had challenged me Id have made every effort to get out of there, or ask for advice as to where I should be. We all make mistakes, its how we deal with them after that counts.


You did the right thing.
Go on....cut me in half........it says SUZUKI all the way thru the middle!!

have to say well done mate.................sadly this happens all to often........... for every 1of us who act responsibally and take the time and effort to read and understand the rules annd reg and stick to basic common sence there is at least 2 idiots who don't and sadly it is always the bad news that travels fastest and widest...............if we all stood up to these  idiots a little more like you then maybe's we can start to make a difference ........i don't know but it is worth a try.........
well done for standing up for our rights

I rather hope they do read it. They might then realise what a bunch of prats they have been.

I love the plains and get down there all too rarely and I dont want my treat spoiled by this bunch of morons. Its not as if there arnt plenty of lanes to go on in the area  :roll:

Well done on standing up and taking action rather than turning a blind eye which seems to be the norm in this day and age.

As for hoping they don't read this - I agree as in the context of hoping that a fellow member would not be irresponsible enough to be doing something of this nature.  :roll:

I said this because they can see on here who told on them and how to get in touch with them.  If they are stupid enough to do what they did who knows what other lengths they may go to.  I would had grassed em then kept quiet.
