OUR OFF ROAD DRIVING EVENT

Using Land Rovers or Range Rovers and accompanied by our expert instructors you will quickly gain the confidence to tackle terrain you never thought possible. Each vehicle carries 4 guests so that everyone is fully occupied. The terrain is carefully chosen to reflect the skill levels of the drivers with safety considerations the priority. Drivers will change after each section of the course is completed and each section increases in severity as progress is made. Those riding in the vehicle feel involved with the action generating a great atmosphere and genuine amazement at the capability of these outstanding vehicles.

4X4 is an activity that can be used however inclement the weather making it an ideal backup should other activities be affected in particular gliding. A competitive element can be introduced if required by means of first the instructors marking drivers on ability to learn and respond to instructions and second the setting up of a trials type section to be driven at the end of the session. Suitable trophies can be supplied.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Newcomers are amazed at the capabilities of these machines. The combination of powerful engines with high torque figures and low ratio gears mean that you never run out of power no matter how steep the gradient.  Lack of traction is the limiting factor.

When descending steep hills the exceptionally strong engine braking effect produced by low gear ratio's makes the brake pedal redundant in fact it is most inadvisable to use it in some circumstances.

The vehicles can cope with up to 38' of lean to one side, any sane driver will have stopped long before then (and our instructor will be seen running away!!)

We have Land Rover Defender 90's, Range Rovers (see specification) and Mitsubishi Shoguns.

See price list for current prices.
