Wasn't really sure where to put this one, but it's commercial and it's for sale. But it's a trip not a part.
OK my friend Nick Robinson and his lovely wife have sold their Cruiser Troopy hire business and have gone into the 4x4 safari market. There will be more on this later as his website becomes available etc. The gist is that Nick has planned some routes including some spectacular scenery in and around SW Scotland including distillery visits, red deer, Kite feeding centre, eating and drinking, plus some exclusive vehicle access to land not normally open to traffic. Like an exclusive green lane if you like. The trips are 6 nights long. I know this area very well and I'd like to go myslef, but can't see it happening due to other commitments.
Now, it's not free but the good news is that Nick is looking for people who 'get this' to come on a pilot at roughly half price. Which is around the £300 mark. I don't want to get in to deep detail just at the second on what that does and doesn't include because I have to got thorough all of the brochure myself and it's not mine to say really if you understand. Nick really wants some critique on value and interest etc. For some it will be the most exciting thing they've done since Legoland, for those who have been twice around the World, well, I dunno. But what it is, is a perfect opportunity to do a vehicle shakedown before you go on your long trip. You can try all your gadgets and try different packing arrangements all within the sanctuary of the UK. It all culminates with a hotel on the last night and a celebration meal.
I know that one or two of you have met Nick and will know what that this will be genuinely well run, it's not some half baked scheme. Nick and Linda have spent many nights abroad in all sorts of vehicles and understand what people want. There are also cabins and Yurts available should you not want to sleep with your car. These are additional costs but very reasonable. I'd stress that you cannot simply copy the route and so it yourself - these are part of a package that Nick has spent a year negotiating with people including the FC and SNH. If I can get my new Cruiser up and running my then ha ha hoo ho ho haa heee. then I'd try and go.
Here's the itinerary. First night is 25th August.
I reiterate that I have no share in this, it's just that Nick is a top fella, a Cruiser enthusiast, like minded and doesn't take any BS from anyone. You can make contact directly with him via treksgalloway at aol dot com. I have suggested that he may like to become a trade member of course.
Maybe I'll see you there.
