A spectacular scenic environment with terrain & obstacles ranging from flat slippery surfaces, to cross-axle situations, mud, water (weather permitting) and from mild, moderate to steep inclines and declines.

Get to know your vehicle
If you'd like to experience a day in your own 4×4, we offer owner driver courses which are specifically for those wanting to learn the off road capability of their own 4×4 vehicle.
These 1:1 courses start with an explanation of the 4WD system on your vehicle to fully understand how to gain the best from any tractions aids which may be fitted; realising your own vehicles’ limitations is imperative when driving off road.
The best 4x4 gift by far
Our gift experience vouchers are a great way of treating a loved one or friend and are valid for 12 months. We are open all year but some holiday closures do apply; courses are run Monday to Saturday, but with enough notice, for groups of more than five we will also run a 4×4 off-road driving course on a Sunday, but unfortunately a group discounts won't apply.
Don’t forget that all courses must be pre-booked. NB: We don't offer 'Pay & Play' Events.
