My day to the plains
Mar 14^th, 2010, 5:52pm

So yeah, My mum says she wants we to come and walk the dog with the family, I asked her where it was and she said Salisbury Plains. I thought "Great!".

Here are the pictures of me, stuck, in the mud. Sad

Had a lot of fun though. Cheesy

Whoops! I thought there was a little dry ledge between the really deep bits, turns out to be mud, thats very, very wet!

Lost my shoes in the mud, had to go back for them! Cheesy

Looking for my next jump. Cheesy

I was on the plain about 10years with some TRF guys and came across this nice big puddle about 40ft long and 20ft wide group leader decided to have some fun .Problem was as he found out it was about 6ft deep lol took and hour to get his bike out and that was after we found it eventually.Heard the tanks use them to hide there outline against the horizon when on manoeuvres dont know if they still do.

Shape: Their tracks will be deformed. (visually)

Surface: You'll blend with the mud.

Shadow: Shadow will be minimized because your extremities will be lower.

Shine: Tanks don't have much shine I'm guessing anyway, but also the mud splash will cover some metallic areas.

Silhouette: You wont be shown against the horizon.

Some of the camouflage principles.
