theres something not so sporting about charging folks to go laning with you, it tends to remove the comeraderie, dont you agree

Good point, but tend to find just as much "comeraderie" as if they have not paid.

Majority of people I have been with are novices and never ever been out before, some might have never used low box gears. Often just purchased a truck so are unsure about things

But the "comeraderie" soon develops once someone gets stuck or breakdown. Some I speak too say they perfer to pay and go out with commerical groups cause they feel less intimidated than going with more experanced people or clubs. You find with some group leaders they perfer to let everyone sort things out first so let group members gain experance, only stepping in if things become unsafe
 
Weird thing is, I'd never heard of these groups wot pay ter go laning & I've been doing this fer a fair few years now. Jest think it's a bit 'odd' ter pay fer it...................er, if yer see wot I mean.
 
Your welcome to come out with us, take a look on the merseyside thread. Were all new to off roading, but dont have much knowlege of routes which is our only problem. Will keep you updated with our next jaunt into north wales which should be in a week or two. hope to see you on the road, john

Just Out Of Interst, If You Have Been With Them, What Do They "charge" For A Days Laning

I think simply charge £30 for the day and £60 for a weekend, thats what i paid, but you'll have to ask him. Was £20 for many years. Some clubs charge £10 used to be £5. Others charge more depends what they offer.

He (simply) is about the cheapest, some charge as much as £180 per weekend, plus accomadation & fuel, and they get a good 20 or so plus in their convoys. Seems crazy cause you can join a club for £15 pa and go the same route 4 plus times a year and pay as little as £10 for the accomadation.

But these commercial groups advertise in mags etc while finding a couple of decent clubs can be a bit hit & miss, best bet is too view there websites see what they plan too do and have done.

I had the same thoughs as you mate, why pay to go out with people until I releaised I wasn't going out with anyone at all for months on end.

Not everyone has tinertnet access, just joining some crapppy club doesn't mean you'll get out if the club don't go. So for some people its a way to "get into the hobby" and more important a circle of like mine minds, you meet others exchange teley & mob numbers and organise your own days out.

Might be a bloody rip off but at least you get out, not like some crappy £30 a year clubs, you get a crappy newsletter 3 times a year, crappy windsreeen badge, 10% off insurance you'll get any how, and one offer or a greenlane trip half way across the country booked 3 months in advance which you end up paying £10 for anyhow.
