This is a fun run that some would like to join in on.
 
The Wiltshire White Horse Run is run by the Bath Classic Motorcycle club. This run has been going for years and is great fun.

The meet starts at the Three Magpies at Seend in Wiltshire on a Sunday morning then ride a route around wilts visiting/passing all 5 of the hillside white horses.

You sign between 9 and 10am

Have been on it twice - roughly 80 miles with 80 bikes from vintage to modern. A steady run thru the wilds of wiltshire with a lunchtime pub visit. This would suit the little bike riders as well as it is done at your own pace.

Cost is normally a fiver and you get a map so there is no need to stay with the main group. Many set their own pace and simply enjoy the countryside. You will even see parts of wiltshire that you never knew existed.

Finish back at the pub mid afternoon for a BBQ.

Last Year....... Took these as the run past thru Devizes.

Hi Delbert,

As its only a short distance from me I might pop along to see you all off.  I don't think I will be able to spare the time to go on the run (but then again :D)

A very nice turn out at the start with a good mix of bikes present.  Sorry no photos, the camera battery died.

I was particularly taken by an old Aerial single which was as slow revving as you like and sounded very sweet.  Some very nice Triumph and BSAs, Velocettes, Commandos, RDs, CBX, Guzzis.  Made great a sound when they all departed on the run.

Cheers       Zunspec
