I would skip any VHF or CB setup. They’re expensive, will most likely get you in trouble and you won’t need the extra range.
I’ve had great luck with the small, almost toy like, FRS based radios. I think they’re called something else in the UK. A top unit won’t cost you an arm and leg and actually sounds better than VHF and CB since they use FM waves. As mentioned above the only problem is their limited range. However I’ve had little problems even when I led a 15 car convoy once on a day trip. Every car had one of these units and they performed flawlessly.
I personally use and root for Cobra. I got the top of the line weather resistant model with rechargeable batteries and in car charging. I paid for 2 sets batteries, mains and car charger and push to talk headphones / mikes less than the price of one VHF or CB.
The best thing about them is that you can hide them easily and use them just as well when exploring on foot.
