What to Expect

After arriving at the site and checking in, your group will meet your instructor and get a short introduction to the session. The instructor will then take you out for a brief five-minute demonstration drive to showcase the vehicle's capabilities and cover the key driving techniques you'll need. From there, it's over to you. The rest of the time is fully hands-on, with you and your guests taking it in turns behind the wheel while the instructor rides alongside, offering coaching and support as needed. Every twist and turn offers a new challenge, from steep gradients and off-camber sections to deep puddles and muddy sections, all designed to push your confidence and skills further.

Vehicles are hired per session, meaning you're in charge of how the driving is shared. Whether it's just you at the wheel or shared with up to four others, everyone stays in the vehicle throughout the experience. Child passengers are welcome, though you'll need to bring and fit your own suitable car seats. Both manual and automatic Land Rovers are available, and you'll be driving on purpose-built trails within private woodland. With no need for a driving licence, it's open to all adults looking for a new kind of off-road challenge.

Location

Our 4x4 course is set just off the A617 in Nottinghamshire, near the village of Farnsfield. The tracks are part of private woodland, offering a real mix of terrain to keep drivers engaged throughout their session. The surrounding area has a classic countryside feel, with easy access from both Newark and Nottingham.

Please be aware that sat navs can be unreliable when locating our exact site. We recommend aiming for the A617 towards Newark, once you reach the A614 roundabout, we're just 200 yards along the A617 on the left. Look out for signs and staff to assist on the day of your visit.

Prerequisites

No driving licence is required, but participants must be at least 18 years old to take part in the driving. Anyone under this age is welcome as a passenger, including children, provided a legal child seat is fitted by the responsible adult.

Drivers should wear clothes they don't mind getting dusty or a bit muddy, along with suitable footwear. You'll be driving in a vehicle with others, so comfortable clothing and shoes with good grip are advised.
