Green Lane Tour Companies

Without doubt, the easiest way to get in to green laning is to book on to a guided tour company with a professional tour guide.

Why should you pay £65 – £100 a day to access green lanes which are free to access I hear you say? Here’s why:

  • You’re paying for the tour guides knowledge. Some guides have been in the business for decades. That’s a LOT of grey matter you have access to!
  • Not to mention their guidance. On my first trip out a guide talked me through the optimum settings for my vehicle which enabled me to ascend a lane with relative ease.
  • You’re paying for them to plan a route. How long would it take you to plan a day’s laning? A day perhaps? How do you know you’ve got the best lanes in the area? Trailwise is good, but an expert guide is betterer.
  • You’re paying for peace of mind. All reputable tour guides will carry all the gear you need to traverse the lanes safely. For example; recovery kit, first aid kit, satellite phone and more.
  • Finally, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people and if you use a tour company on a regular basis, then you’ll 100% make chums along the way.
