Relaxed & Scenic Tours are just that “relaxed and scenic”. A range of guided tag-a-long tours for the majority of 4×4’s. Being suitable for show room condition vehicles as well as the more enhanced and personalised 4×4’s. Relaxed & Scenic Tours are a great introduction to green road driving. We drive at a relaxed pace at which to enjoy the surrounding countryside and its history.
Relaxed and Scenic Tours will provide you with a gentle introduction into green road driving and are ideal for families and making new friends. These tours are beginner friendly, where off road driving experience is not necessary. Also for intermediate and experienced drivers who enjoy the outstanding beauty of nature away from tarmac roads.
Relaxed & Scenic tours are a way of exploring ancient rights of ways that were once trodden by horse and cart, lead miners, soldiers, hill farmers and pilgrims along old drover’s roads and roman roads that are legal and safe to traverse.
As good practice your 4×4 should have accessible recovery points at the front and rear. We strongly advise that your vehicle has a full size spare wheel; space savers and/or repair kits are not recommended.
Because of the nature of green road driving we need to make you aware that there is an element of risk of possible damaging your vehicle and / or its components. However we reconnoiter all our trails and tracks for suitability and safety so both the risk and the likelihood is low.
