This place looks good for an all rounder

has lots of different activities that would suit us all

I would love to try the Mad Trax they look like a lot of serious fun
What you think ??

[derekh929]

Off road buggies are loads of fun we built up one as project with son it did about 50mph but he had loads of fun with it so did his dad.
The mess you make and the dirt you throw up on the slow coaches will elevate the need of the dress lol

Good shout Denso, can we check cost and availability?

Hi Guys,

The meet will be in the Carlisle area and only if you wish head off for a drive and some more fun in the afternoon, you are all welcome to join the meet and have pictures taken and a catch up

Cheers John

[Foretrees]

Activities in the North Lakes, can anyone wishing to take part let me know by Wednesday the 5th April as i need to respond and book on the 7th, i can take payments on pay pal on the 6th so the funds can be paid on the 7th, PM me.

Note Madtrax is a min of 10 people

I have a hectic week ahead so bear with me for updates, regards John


Adult Escorted Quad Bike Treks
Once you have been kitted out with overalls and a helmet you will be briefed by a LANTRA qualified instructor on how to operate the quad safely for maximum enjoyment. The instructor escorts the trek and each quad rider follows the exact path as they explore our lakeland hill farm. We start off on flat ground to build up confidence and progress at the pace of the least able over undulating ground, down steep banks and river crossings depending on the duration booked and the skill of the riders. All treks are taken out in consideration of the least capable rider and they are designed with off-roading in mind. The emphasis is on control and skill not speed and there is definitely no racing. Anyone who can’t stick to the rules will be taken off the trek and no refund will be given.
20 minutes - £21.00 per person - Ideal for first timers as a taster session. A chance to experience off road driving to see if it is for you.
40 minutes - £38.50 per person - Great fun for those who feel confident and want to try some banks, hills and river crossings.
1 hour - £55.00 per person - For those who have quad biked before in a supervised situation over hilly ground with good throttle control. Ideal for the more competent rider who enjoys a challenge.
360cc Kawasaki machines
Min age 16 years, mandatory

Go Karts
The Lake Districts only indoor Rally Cross circuit. Sessions organised as 5 practice laps and a series of 10 lap races. These latest Honda powered karts allow you to put your foot down hard to the floor and test your driving ability to the full! As you get faster the earth track gets more slippery and if that’s not for you just take your time.
25 laps - £18.50 per person
35 laps - £22.00 per person
45 laps - £25.50 per person
Min height limit 4’7” (1.4m)
Min age 14 years

Madtrax
Madtrax buggies are purpose built for use on a rough terrain circuit, and have all round suspension to ensure peak performance at all times. Full racing outfits are provided. Each race consists of 4 laps of ¾ vehicles at a time, spread by a time gap. Really physical! The session finishes with a grand finale and a trophy for the winner. Each driver is guaranteed a minimum of 3 races per session. (Please note in bad weather or if the ground is very wet Madtrax becomes dangerous so will be substituted with other activities lie clay pigeon shooting and go karts.)
£51.50 per person
Min age 16 years
Min 10 people, max 25 people
