First offroad contact required

[Jens]

Hallo together,
we bought our hilux 2 months ago. We changed our car from a Golf estate to this little monster.I never will change back to a smaller car since i drove that.
So now we want to see how the feeling is to go a little bit offroad. We live in Leicester and are looking for some people who know where to go.
The only thing i found in the internet is an greenlane trip in stainby on the end of the week.but i am not sure if we can organise that with the kids so fast.

So who can help ????

That was a fast answer, and a lot of new infos.
I think we try the next beginner event.

Thanks a lot for this startup help

Greenlaning can be a bit dodgy on your own- so I'd suggest you at least go out with experienced 'laners' who have the necessary recovery equipment first (from bitter experience.....).

I'd also suggest you have a day 'froadin' at a Pay-n-play site first as well since it is a better oppertunity to learn how your car handles in the rough and there will be more people around to help when you get stuck.

There are up-coming events here which are not to far away from Leicester:

Hi there fellow surfers. I live in Leicester and am also looking to do a bit of green laning. Did you guys ever get out to that place near Banbury? Give me a shout if you're heading out on the lanes one weekend and I shall follow. Also any more people out there live in the Hinckley area intrested in green laning?
