An unusual but exciting day out awaits in Scotland, with this Family Tank Driving Experience for Four. For those based in and around Glasgow, this exclusive package, hosted at Scart Farm near the Bridge of Weir in Renfrewshire, offers plenty of off grid excitement, with this group session driving a FV432 APC tank, formerly used by the British Army in a number of battlefields and training bases, weighing 18 tons and a serious fully armoured machine. Each of you will be offered full tuition and briefing from an instructor to show you where the controls are and how they work, with 20 minutes' driving time each per session, as you navigate this awesome tank around a varied Scottish countryside backdrop with a number of challenging terrains where it will really come into its own!
