Christmas Gifts - Superb Off Road Fun in Newcastle - Experience Days

Sellers Comments -

Discover the might of the 4x4 Land Rover Defender when you take the plunge and go off road in Newcastle! Put simply, this vehicle is one of the most renowned 4x4s in the world for agility, endurance and sturdiness. You can pretty much go anywhere in a trusty Landy and a few rocks, water troughs and tree trunks certainly won't get in your way. We think you you will love driving it around the Northumbrian countryside.

The setting for this experience is superb. This lot just outside Newcastle specialises in offering all sorts of gnarly off roading activities and the terrain at their disposal is tip-top. It actually all sounds very posh, as it's in the grounds of the Edwardian Slaley Hall estate, but don't worry it's not at all sanitised here - there is still a truck load of mud, dirt, water and long grass for you and your offroader to wade through.

In fact this off road course near Newcastle is nationally acclaimed and features an impressive mix of steep hills, big drops, off camber sections and even water canyons. What really caught our eye though, is the fact the Land Rover you'll be driving is modified - no, we're not talking UV lights and blacked out windows, we are talking a 2.5 inch lift kit, snorkel and lightweight wheels. All these bits and bobs mean you can go deeper into the water (without getting any in the carburettors) and steeper on the banks without tipping up - try some of these tests in a standard car and you won't get very far!

As well as the car, you will also be well-equipped to deal with these challenges as the instructor drivers will guide you all the way around the 4x4 course. As well as having a safety briefing, the instructor will take you on a demo drive around some of the toughest parts of this Newcastle course before letting you loose behind the wheel for your off road session.

Take this Defender 90 off road at Newcastle's finest off road centre and you have exclusive use of the vehicle for around 50 minutes. All tuition is on a one to one basis, rather than being part of a small group, so if you've got friends and family who want to join in the fun, you can invite up to four of them along with the additional driver/spectator vouchers and they can ride in the vehicle and even share your driving time with you if you're up for letting them have a little go too. A fantastic best value deal for budding off roaders in the Newcastle area.

Christmas Gifts - Extreme 4x4 in Somerset - Experience Days

Sellers Comments -

Try your hand at some extreme off-road driving with our 4x4 Somerset activity; a specially-designed safari course guaranteed to get your blood pumping and a trials circuit to get your heart racing - and both will get your nerves buzzing!

Whether you’re new to off-roading, or you’ve been handling these powerhouse machines for years, there is something to challenge everyone at this amazing Somerset venue which is actually on the Bath and West showground site. At this centre you can choose between a 4x4 Safari and the 4x4 Trials session, both of which will demand concentration and determination from any driver to succeed.

If you go for the safari, you will be driving a standard Land Rover 4x4 vehicle, one of the many that make up this impressive Somerset fleet. The obstacle safari is a tight, twisting course packed with tricky things like seesaws, low-lying branches, large rocks and deep gullies for you to explore, not to mention the 100ft mud run and the 40ft tunnel!

And much like ski resorts, there are green, red and black routes here, with the aim of having a run to suit all levels of cross-country competency. Of course, your instructor is there to guide you and give advice and tips on how to overcome those bumps and drops, but fundamentally it's up to you to get your 4x4 to the end of this demanding Somerset course.

If you fancy trying the off road discipline of trials 4x4ing, this Somerset team is offering experiences in modified Land Rover trucks to tackle the gruelling woodland trials course. We are talking competition-prepared V8 Landys that are usually reserved for the pros, with full roll cage and upgraded suspension to name but two of the mods on these mud-munching beasts.

As you’ll soon learn, trial 4x4 driving is all about throttle control and vehicle positioning, as you head straight up wooded banks in the fastest time possible, whilst making sure you don’t hit any course markers - or trees for that matter. It’s challenging stuff and makes for a unique twist on the usual 4x4 drive.

However you decide to take on your off-roading exploration, we’re sure you and anyone else interested in dirt-track driving will love our 4x4 Somerset packages where you’ll be getting seriously stuck into a pedal-pounding, chassis-crunching driving expedition in a proper off roading Landy!

Off Road Experience - Redhill Surrey

View Details - More Information - Buy Voucher

Off-roading in Surrey - can you handle it? This farm estate just outside Redhill provides a whopping 250 acres of countryside terrain for you to play in driving a modern 4x4 vehicle. Whether or not you've ever driven off road before, your driving session will be geared up to suit your level. For this two hour experience you may be part of a small group of up to four drivers on the day. By keeping the group sizes small, you can all fit into the vehicle and driving duties are rotated, with an expert instructor sitting up front in the passenger seat to help with tips and advice if you need it. The idea is to start off gently getting used to driving the 4x4 and then by the end you'll be tracking through rutted trails with the wing mirror nearly scraping the side, you'll be leaning that far over. Your off roading in Surrey starts with a warm welcome at the Old Barn or the Lambing Shed, both converted barns and used by the venue to offer good on site facilities including hot showers, toilets and changing facilities. There is also some tasty catering on site and believe us after a serious session chugging around the off road track, there's nothing better than a bacon roll to celebrate! 

Extreme 4x4 Course Silverstone

View Details - More Information - Buy Voucher

See an iconic racing location in a completely new way with our off-road Silverstone 4x4 experience. Forget speed, this extreme course is all about power, balance and judgement, as you negotiate your way down steep drops, across rugged terrain and through deep water pools, all designed to test your driving abilities to the max.

For this 50-minute off-roading session you’ll be behind the wheel of a Land Rover Defender. The Defender lives and breathes off roading and with its 2.5-litre, 5-cylinder engine this is proper 4x4 that has really stood the test of time. Built to withstand most environments, you can take this tough 4x4 tiger anywhere on the Silverstone trail and it won’t let you down. 

This entirely man-made course has been constructed just for these 4x4 sessions on the perimeter fields of the Silverstone. A huge mound in the middle of the trail gives you not only a great view of this renowned track, but also some wonderfully steep descents. And if it’s been raining, it’ll be really muddy too! With a permanent water splash another course highlight, this superb route will show you just what the latest model of Defender is capable of.

These 4x4 driving sessions are a great way to build up confidence at the wheel and gain a new appreciation for how these all wheel drive vehicles cope and adapt to rough terrain. During your time in the driving seat, you’ll receive individualised tuition from one of Silverstone’s fully qualified 4x4 instructors. They’ll talk you through the finer details of driving technique, enabling you to manoeuvre these magnificent motors over rocks, logs, dips and hills like an off-roading pro.

This is the ideal gift for anyone with a can-do attitude who wants to learn more about driving in difficult situations. Suitable for drivers of all ages and abilities (as long as you’ve held a full license for over a year), our Silverstone 4x4 challenges can easily be revved up into a fun family day out or an axle-crunching competition between friends.

Action Packed 4x4 Activity Sussex

View Details - More Information - Buy Voucher
Three is the magic number when it comes to this wild and wacky 4x4 Sussex experience, where you drive a trio of off road vehicles. Not just your ordinary off road trek, this action-packed bumper selection of all-terrain vehicles sees you behind the wheel of a production 4x4, a special dirt-munching bespoke-built Landy and a mad caged buggy. The session starts gently, with the Sussex grounds offering a ‘Meadow Meander’ in a 4x4 Kia Jeep. There are slopes, mud and woodland obstacles to overcome and this is the ideal introduction to off-roading. Then we crank up the heat in a modified Land Rover Defender 90 for the ‘Jungle Run’ – ploughing headlong through thick undergrowth, catching glimpses of daylight as you rollick your way through the wilderness. Forget Sussex - it’s the Amazon Rainforest! For the grand finale, you’re bundled into a 4x4 trials buggy and it’s off to one of Sussex’s disused quarries for the ultimate off-road challenge. Too difficult for standard 4x4s to negotiate, this purpose-built, hair-raising and occasionally vertigo-inducing route includes driving along a stream bed and overcoming a 6ft drop that’s pretty much vertical. You need to complete the marked-out course making as few mistakes as possible – not as easy as it sounds! All sessions begin with a safety talk and a brief introduction to 4x4 driving. You’ll be accompanied by an experienced instructor from the Sussex centre at all times, who will guide you through the technical difficulties of off-roading, as well as ensuring you don’t make any major mistakes.  For the duration of the activity you’ll be with a maximum of two other people to make a group of three. You all get equal time driving the 4x4 vehicles, but if you’d rather be with people you know, get a couple of friends or family members involved and turn the day into a friendly competition. The entire course lasts around two hours, so you’ll have plenty of opportunity to put your new skills to good use. This is a brilliant and engaging way of introducing 4x4 driving to novices, with bags of excitement and tricky obstacles requiring all your nerve and determination. Because of the stepped levels of difficulty, this is great for experienced drivers as well as anyone wanting to improve their on- and off-road confidence. Get yourself in gear for this 4x4 Sussex session and be prepared for not one, but three bumpy rides!

Off Road Experience - Market Harborough

View Details - More Information - Buy Voucher
The individual tuition offered at this offroad driving centre in Market Harborough ensures you get maximum training time in mastering the art of 4x4 off road driving. You will be tackling some serious off-road terrain - ranging from open fields with purpose built challenges to acres of varied woodland trails. Off road driving experience days are also available at a wide range of other UK locations.

The experience starts with a safety briefing and then it's your turn to take to the wheel. Typically, you will be driving fully prepared Land Rover Defender 110s although there are usually other vehicle types available on the day. You will first be tackling the 'training ground' - designed to give you an insight into some of the basic off-road conditions such as crossing ditches, traversing side slips, accelerating through mud and water and tackling 40 degree downhill slopes! 

Then it's onto the 'white knuckle' stuff - water and mud up to the bonnet (don't worry, you're not expected to wash the vehicles at the end of your experience!) as you drive through twisting, narrow terrain. 

By the end of your off road experience in Market Harborough you will be amazed that you have just driven through terrain that previously you would have thought impassable and discovered the joys that can be had when driving at 5mph.

Off Roading Experience Berkshire - Near Reading

View Details - More Information - Make A Booking

Off Roading Berkshire - it's time for a real 4x4 escapade! This off roading centre just outside Reading certainly has it all. It's a purpose built series of courses and it'll take all your driving skills to conquer the challenges of this rugged terrain with steep climbs, drops and gullies.

The tracks that weave around the farmland here in Berkshire have been honed over many years of off road driving on the site, creating ruts, bumps and side slopes that are sure to take your breath away. Lucky then, that the team here in Reading has THE best off roading vehicle for the job - the Land Rover Discovery. Discos (as 4x4 aficionados affectionately call them) are simply brilliant vehicles to take off road. In fact, we're sure you'll lose your bottle before the car does!

All of these off roading experiences are on a shared basis in Berkshire, so before the safety briefing you'll be introduced to your fellow drivers, the expert off road instructor hosting the session and, of course, the full on Landy you will be driving. Once all acquainted, it's time for the off along the private roads of the estate.

We've got a plethora of different options for you to choose from, including off peak midweek vouchers that offer great value, or taster sessions so you can dip your off roading toe in if you're a novice. The discovery session is where you are just two budding drivers in the vehicle with 40 minutes of personal hands on time and the adventure experience gives you 50 full on minutes tackling the off roaring trickiness of the Berkshire countryside.

On all of our off roading Berkshire sessions you will ride as a passenger in the vehicles when you're not at the wheel. This extends your experience time and makes the whole thing fun, convivial and exhilarating all at the same time. And what's more, this venue near Reading is a fully registered BORDA (British Off Road Driving Association) centre - so even adept off roaders will find it demanding.
