geoffbeaumont Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 As the title says has anybody used kankku an offroading company in the lakedistrict it's all to do with this thread many thanks Seen their vehicles around, but never used them. They advertise 'extreme driving situations', but I've never seen so much as a scratch on any of their trucks, so I suspect it's a good bit tamer than they make out! would rather pay this company and use my own vehicle than spend days trying to find out the relevent details of the local authority rights of way chap Why not join GLASS* and get the details from them? * - he says, in rash hypocrisy. Promise I'll join up when I get the truck back on the road... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how extreme other peoples ideas of extreme are, but if you have never done any real off roading they do take you along some very interesting well paths for want of a better word. I did hve a wheel or two dangling in the air and some quite steep and narrow slopes, but the instructors are pretty good at getting you through it all. Not much mud plugging but it is the lake district and it is very rocky there. I had a great time and could reccomend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed that you were thinking of using your own vehicle, make sure your tyres are up to it, the rocks can be very damaging. by the way, all thier vehicles are fitted with FPS's, the defenders with Landrover ones and the Shoguns with ones from Endura. see here http://www.endura-fps.com/news.php?id=14 and Auto Express are running a competition with them as a prize, see here, http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/interact/auto...ompetition.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muck Truck Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 We've been out with him, Nick, a couple of years ago. We used their defenders (a 200Tdi and a TD5) There was only me and my g/f and a couple of other lads. We got there in the morning had a chat whilst waiting for the lads to turn up, when they did he chucked some keys at me and said you drive the Tdi we'll take the TD5 and off we popped. We swapped round between the TD5 and TDI a few times and i drove nearly all day (cause gf didnt want to do much), he just offers assistance with lines if needed. It was a excelent day out and if you've never been green laning you'll really enjoy it (though it is expensive if you use their cars) edit.... Just noticed this thread is a few years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
