Got a PM from Bruce earlier, he's hoping to be there for that weekend. I'll see if it clashes with anything else.

So, the excitement is building up to Equinox weekend. Has anyone got news from the track? I can check on Facebook.
Edit - Just checked and the track should be open as far as I know at the moment. Bear in mind the A344 is now closed off so the best way is to approach from the West on the A303 and turn left onto the Byway 12 The Drove. Or you can come down Byway 11 from Larkhill.

DO NOT TRY BYWAY 11 FROM LARKHILL ! You might just do it in a car if weather is good but really only passable in a 4x4 ! You can still go down the A344 coming in from Airmans corner to the visitor centre .

I'm not 100% sure but I think they have been repairing Byway 11 recently, filling in all the ruts. I only vaguely remember reading it though. We can check it out this weekend.

Just know it was bad when I walked to Larkhill in July . There was some pretty bad dips on the flat piece at the top before the really bad bits ! Heard quite a few coachbuilts scraping and one managed to get stuck turning round .

I think it was August they were repairing it - it was in Open access to Stonehenge group on FB - but FB being evil it may just be a malicious rumour and I don't know the extent, so maybe best to avoid till we see it

It looks like they have fixed it now

There is a small possibility that I may be able to make this weekend now. Can we still stay on the byway?

Post by Firefox on Sept 17, 2013 21:42:49 GMT
Yes I think so. Consensus is that it will be open.

That sounds interesting if you have it with you. I think they were still moving some stones upright at that time in preparation for hand over to Ancient Monuments commission followed by English Heretics cash cow Disney theme park. Weather looks fine for weekend, if a little cloudy. Rain on Thursday. www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2635167

Will be great to see you Al!
I think we can still burn pallets Nbrown. Well last time the rozzers came round, I think we had some of your pallets on the go and they didn't ask any questions. I have Scorpion saw now running off genny - ideal for pallet minimisation.
