A day with Kankku... Driving off road with Kankku is like driving on a wild safari through the stunning Lake District National Park, the purpose of which is to drive the technical rough and rocky terrain and to get devoured by the spectacular Lakeland landscape of lakes and mountains rather than to risk being savaged by a pride of hungry lions!
The routes are varied and you may find yourself navigating through forests, fording Lakeland streams, or carefully negotiating narrow mountain trails; whatever the terrain, there is always a great sense of adventure as you swap and change from driver to navigator and make your way through stunning Lake District hills and valleys. Kankku run a fleet of bright orange expedition prepared vehicles, headed by G4 Expedition prepared Land Rover Defenders.
Help and guidance is always on hand from the experienced Kankku team in order to keep you exploring and to deliver specialist knowledge; this is delivered in a relaxed format and accompanied by tales of local interest and legend. All the Kankku team have experience of dealing with both complete newcomers to off road driving as well as drivers with more confidence and experience.
The Expedition is the most popular trail in which you will be out for about 5 hours on a cross section of off road terrain. There is time to get intimate with your 4x4 and the landscape, to enjoy a break for either a pub lunch or a sandwich on top of one of the peaks, and then to hit the trail again and apply Kankku style "intelligent off road driving techniques" to find your off road limits.
