THE TERRAIN

Mud, Ruts and Steep Inclines

The course puts drivers into the thick of it: mud and ruts, hill climbs and descents, inclined planes and rough uneven ground provide the core challenges of the session.

THE VEHICLE

Drive a Land Rover Discovery

Participants share a Land Rover Discovery with their instructor and up to three passengers, rotating between driving and riding to experience both perspectives.

THE TEACHING

Expert Instruction, Hands‑On Time

Each session is instructor‑led and designed for beginners: you’ll learn basic off‑road control techniques and receive coaching while you take turns behind the wheel.

What the day feels like

What the Hour Feels Like

The session moves fast: arrival and registration give way to a short safety briefing and vehicle familiarisation, then straight into rotating driving stints where each participant tackles a sequence of obstacles under instructor guidance—by the end you’ll have handled mud, climbs and descents and paused for photos back at the Clubhouse.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this session suits—and who should consider alternatives.

1
Beginner DriversIdeal—no licence or experience is needed and instruction is tailored to newcomers, so novices can learn essential 4x4 control skills in a supervised setting.
2
Families with Older ChildrenSuitable for family groups provided children meet the minimum participation requirement (participants must be able to reach the pedals); the activity accommodates younger drivers as part of a group experience.
3
Groups & TeamsDesigned for groups—the one‑hour taster accommodates up to six drivers within the hour (extras add time), making it a compact group activity with shared driving time.
4
Non‑Drivers / Those Without a LicenceA good match—participants without a driving licence are welcome so long as they can reach the pedals and operate the controls safely.
