on ebay if you type in landrover discovery off roader,see what u fink..they charge you £35 to bring your own landrover and they will guide you round the green lanes,and you can follow them,surely people wont be falling this.i would spend £4 on an os map and drive the lanes and not pay someone £35 to drive all the legal byways

think Pikey found this a coupla weeks ago, tis for lazy bastids who can't be arsed to walk the lanes before they drive em (no offense heffs!) and want it on a platter - fair play to the organisers if they're getting business like that!
 
don't see it as bare faced cheek, I see it as someone trying to make money. Someone people will pay it some won't, don't see a problem with it

ive just thought of an idea..might post it on ebay..theres a road i know called the m25 i might set up a stall and charge people say £1 to drive there car and a bit more to drive there vans or lorrys on it.





dag nammit someones beet me to it
 
£35 is cheap, most places charge 60-110. 1 life adventure, LROAC etc etc. its a joke, but people pay. i spoke to 1 chap on a lane in wales who said, i quote: " the organiser has been driving these tracks for 20 years, he knows them like the back of his hand". the bloke who paid £100 for the weekend spoke like he didnt even know what a map 2was! there are these people out there.

and if you think this is bad. We bumped into the LROAC in Morocco. 28 vehicles in 2 groups. There is no such thing as " legal Lanes" there, just pistes. which are basically rough un metalled roads. the price? £1100. what you get? same as lanes in wales, nothing but a guide.

****ing joke. having never driven abroad before we managed a solo trip for 4 weeks on our own covering over 600miles offroad (on our own).

but if people want to pay they will. i have been thinking of taking people to moroc, it is SO easy. money spinner.

And i have also spoken to the LROAC lead guide who told me that they are basically responsible for nothing. if someone damaged vehicles, gets lost etc. they will "help" but are not responsible.

the way of the commercial world im afraid.

so pay once and then you'll know the lanes for your own future use (and guide your friends too!) - seems a reasonable short cut if you can afford it - assuming the company doing this has all the bureaucracy in order for the price.
