If you're a fan of off-road driving, you won't want to miss the Half Day 4x4 Off Roading Driving Experience in Gloucestershire! Behind the wheel of a Land Rover, you'll have the chance to take on the unique tracks and trails of a quarry-based training centre. This experience offers comprehensive training in off-road techniques and provides a real insight into the capabilities of these impressive vehicles. The adventure starts with a classroom briefing before heading out onto the site to tackle a variety of different off-road sections of the Coleford course, taking it in turns in the 4WD vehicle. When it's not your turn to drive, you can watch from the sidelines and cheer on your fellow drivers.
