NB: These are NOT Pay & Play Days. Drivers will have an instructor with them at all times.
Understand Your Vehicles Full Capability
We offer either a Stage One (half day) or Stage Two ( full day) course where clients drive their own 4×4’s accompanied by an instructor in our safe, but challenging environment. NB: If your vehicle doesn't have low range or is LWB, please book a Stage One. Potential upgrading can be discussed on the day.
NB: These courses are not suitable for 4x4's with limited ground clearance. For some makes/models we can offer a bespoke course. Please call to discuss before booking.
For experienced off-roaders who want a little more from their day, we have our Stage 3 Course - see below.For more information please call 01594 834666
Non-Damaging Driving Techniques
The content of these courses will follow the same format as the Introductory or Advanced course, with the emphasis on non-damaging off-road techniques.
You can expect the same level of expertise, instruction & challenging terrain to negotiate.
Please Note: Your vehicle may not be insured for ‘Off Highway Use’. If you require this you will need to arrange yourself.
Within Safety Limitations
There may be areas on our site where you would prefer not take your vehicle, don’t worry, you don’t have to because the emphasis of our owner driver courses is to allow you to find the safe limitations of your vehicle without putting yourself, or your vehicle at risk.
We encourage a responsible attitude to off-road driving & emphasis the important fact, that the vehicle has to get you home at the end of the day.
Please Note: If your vehicle is a LWB or has no low range, please call us for advice before booking.
Stage 3 Course For The Adventurer
An ideal course for anyone considering off-road driving competitively or green-lane trips or venturing overland on an expedition. A full day, tailored to your own requirements & expectations.
Know your vehicle’s 4WD system & how to get the best from any traction aids which may be fitted. Then if required, move onto recovery techniques using equipment you may own such as, strops, shackles, ropes, high-lift jacks or bridging ladders.
Please Note: Not suitable for the novice off-roader. Good off-road experience needed.
We absolutely loved our course with Dave and left there buzzing. Understanding the capabilities of our truck gave us so much more confidence. Dave pitched it exactly right for our skill level, knowledge and needs. Just what we were hoping for. Money well spent and highly recommended!
