View across artillery range Just south of this image is an area called Chirton Gorse. Whether this relates to the plant or not this area does indeed seem to have more gorse than other areas of the artillery range. As can be seen in the image brambles can also be found here whilst being not particularly widespread elsewhere in the artillery range.

View Towards Penning Down This view across the downland is taken from what seems to be the least used right of way on the ranges: although the start and end of the right of way are clearly marked there are no signs of recent usage.

Track near Little Hill, Salisbury Plain Little Hill is behind the viewpoint and is used in the title simply as a means of identifying the location. This view is facing east out of the square, the Landrover being parked rather fortuitously just about on the eastern gridline.

Landrover on the byway near Chirton Down Most of the 4x4s I saw skirted round the large puddle. Thankfully this driver was a bit more adventurous.

Military debris in the half-light near Chirton Down There aren't quite as many derelict tanks in the SU part of the Plain as compared with the Imber ranges. This one has been here a while; it is clearly visible on Google Earth. Getting towards the last useable daylight, which makes the scenery no less bleak.

Track towards Little Hill, Salisbury Plain Bleak but not entirely featureless, this part of the Plain is just a bit forbidding at this time of year. The track changes direction out of sight about 500 metres ahead.
