Getting To Know The Basics Of 4×4 Off-Road Driving
Our half-day Introductory course covers basic off-road driving techniques and is intended for occasional off-road driving from mild to moderate conditions. It is the perfect introduction to 4×4 driving. During this morning session we will progressively take you up to a level where you will have the skills to successfully negotiate these obstacles whilst driving off-road in a standard vehicle.
The instructors take a friendly step-by-step approach. Start with a brief safety chat over a cuppa, then quickly moving from the classroom to the site, where walking the course first is an important starting point. An instructor will be in the vehicle at all times. Buy Gift Voucher

Learning About The Highs And Lows
Assessing the route on foot, prior to driving is vital when taking a 4×4 vehicle over undulating terrain, especially as visibility is restricted once in the driving seat.
It’s then into the vehicles to learn the different techniques required to drive off road. Hands on experience is gained in high and low ratio gearbox.
Getting Stuck In
The introductory circuits gradually increase in difficulty from muddy, undulating terrain to mild declines/inclines & moderate gullies and side slopes.
A practical demonstration and discussion takes place to highlight the use of the differential lock and 4wd systems. Drivers will then be fully aware of vehicle limitations and what to look for when negotiating off road conditions.
Chill, Chat And Lunch
We meet back to the classroom for a debriefing and a well-deserved sandwich lunch. This course will give you the basic experience to progress on to more advanced levels.
Attendees wishing to stay for the rest of the day, therefore upgrading to the Advanced Course, are welcome to discuss this possibility with one of their instructors during the morning.
