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

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!

Stuart who owns and manages this friendly off road driving school has been 4x4 driving for a very long time and has access to around 20 different sites in and around Shropshire. Some of the sites are purpose-built by Land Rover for professional 4x4 driver training, with steep ascents, water holes and log bridges for testing your balancing skills. Others come with natural obstacles like woodland trails, rivers, ravines and even quarries for that ‘lunar landscape’ feel – and who could forget the ascents on the mountain trails that pepper this beautiful part of the country? 

For these hour-long taster sessions in Shropshire, most pupils go to the 4x4 obstacle course in Chirk near Oswestry, with its V-shaped gullies, deep trenches and over-the-bonnet water troughs all spread out over two acres of gruelling landscape. Brilliantly laid out and full of challenges, we think you’ll love it.

Your voucher gives two people the chance to take part in this memorable off-road sport, so it’s the perfect gift for men, women, couples or siblings looking for some wheel-to-wheel competition. The hour is split equally and exclusively between the two participants, so you both get the maximum time behind the wheel, as well as personalised tuition throughout the lesson.  Get a feel for true off-roading and take a 4x4 around Shropshire to enjoy this spectacular county in a completely new way. It’s driving, but not as you know it.

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.
