The screamer to oblivion!
The experience & knowledge gained during the morning allows novice off-road drivers to book this full-day. After lunch you’ll tackle more challenging terrain & the instructors will also encourage you to make more of the route/gear choices.

This will include failed ascent procedures, negotiating cross ruts, steeper inclines & declines, side slopes & weather permitting – water. The course will give you the ability to drive 4×4 vehicles off road safely & confidently. You’ll finish up on some of our black runs such as ‘The Gully’, ‘Screamer’ and ‘Oblivion’.

Descents
Descending; low range, low gear….however, on slippery terrain there’s always a risk of sliding. Did you know, if the vehicle starts to lose traction & slides on a steep decline, gentle acceleration can give you back control.
Muddy Ruts
Don’t get stuck in a rut! Avoid if possible & if not then try to straddle a rut or pack to lessen the depth of rutted ground to increase ground clearance therefore avoid contact or damage to the underneath of the vehicle.
Cross Axles
Loss of traction due to crossed axles, how to avoid them & how to get out of them. Understand what a differential is & why it can be locked on some 4wd’s. There’s no traction control on our vehicles, so think about your route rather than relying on the electronics.
