From the HQ Salisbury Plain Training Area page:
Imber Opening
1800hrs Friday 29 March to 0800hrs Tuesday 2 April 2024
Due to recent weather conditions, we have been leaving it until the last safe moment to confirm the opening of the routes leading to Imber Village this Easter. At present, the routes as displayed on the map in the link below will be open during the times shown above. These are the usual routes from Harman Lines in Warminster to Gore Cross, and Bratton to the Imber Road. Due to the state of the track, the route from Heytesbury to Imber will remain closed.
However, because of this morning’s rain, we may have to close the routes at short notice. Where, and if possible, this detail will be published on this page, but if necessary, the barriers will be closed.
We apologise for any inconvenience; there has been live firing in that area and a road condition survey has only just been carried out. Drivers should be aware that there are currently patches of standing water, trafficable by most vehicles (we wouldn’t recommend bringing your Lamborghinis, though!). However, everyone enters the Training Area at their own risk, and must stick to the prescribed routes.
Please take care when using the roads/tracks. Pass oncoming traffic slowly and carefully, and where possible, use passing places. Keep off verges, as these are waterlogged and will cause a hazard when re-joining the road. Finally, don’t park on the roads restricting the flow of 2-way traffic (adjacent to the tank targets, etc).
Enjoy, and stay safe.
