Starting on the West Coast, just south of Ravenglass we traverse some of the finest trails and tracks the North of England has to offer (sorry Northumberland) finishing on the East Coast of the North Sea. This Adventure Tour over 3 days is a Mini Overlanding Experience, a must do, blending green roads with minor ‘B’ and ‘C’ roads to accomplish the tour, with a Relaxed & Scenic theme of green roads, suitable for the majority of 4×4’s.
The trails and tracks of North Wales offer some of the most splendid green roads in the United Kingdom, both for scenery and technical driving. Don’t let that put you off; we provide support and guidance throughout your time with Trails & Tracks from beginning to end.
The English Lake District was recently awarded World Heritage status in 2017 and what better way to see it than from the comfort of your own 4×4. Two days spent in some of the most outstanding scenery in England. This Adventure Tour includes two full days driving in the heart of the Lake District and North Yorkshire Dales.
