What to Expect
After a short safety briefing, you’ll be let loose on the off-road course in your own 4x4. The site offers a mix of features including muddy trails, woodland paths, rutted climbs, descents, water crossings, and axle-twisting articulation zones. Whether you’re testing new kit or just having a go for the first time, the layout offers flexibility for beginners and experienced drivers alike.
A BORDA-trained instructor will accompany you either in your vehicle or in a support role from outside. You’ll receive guidance on line choice, obstacle approach, and best practice for different conditions—ideal for anyone looking to build confidence or explore the full potential of their vehicle. The session runs at your pace, and the terrain can be adapted depending on your skill level and vehicle type.
Location
Set in private woodland just outside Farnsfield, Nottinghamshire, the course spans 40 acres and includes natural and constructed features for a true off-road driving experience. You’ll find wooded sections, steep banks, deep ruts, and various types of terrain designed to challenge suspension, traction, and control.
The site entrance is located on the A617 heading toward Newark, roughly 200 yards on the left after the A614 roundabout. The postcode NG22 8BP will get you close, though it’s advised to follow signs and directions provided, as sat navs can sometimes miss the gate. Parking and check-in are clearly marked on arrival.
Prerequisites
All drivers must be aged 18 or over and bring their own road-legal 4x4 vehicle in suitable condition for off-road use. All occupants, including the instructor, must have their own seat and seatbelt. Vehicles should be insured and capable of light to moderate off-road conditions.
No off-road experience is necessary. Instructors are available to help build confidence and offer technical advice throughout the session, whether you’re self-driving or requesting support.
