Get the squad together and prepare for a proper off-road adventure! This military driving experience near Salisbury gives four people the chance to get behind the wheel of genuine ex-Army vehicles in a quiet corner of the West Wiltshire Downs. You will be immersed in British Army life as you take control of historic military vehicles that have seen service with the British Forces. The vehicles available on the day may vary, but could include trucks, armoured personnel carriers and Jeeps, giving you the chance to experience the power and capability of genuine army transport. One of the standout vehicles in this historic fleet is the Land Rover 101 Forward Control, also known as the Land Rover One Tonne. Built to tow a field gun and carry up to a tonne of ammunition, it was never produced as a civilian model, making the opportunity to drive one particularly special. You may also encounter the Austin Champ Jeep, the British Army’s answer to the Jeep-style 4x4. First produced in 1951, these versatile vehicles served in a variety of roles, including as field ambulances and telecommunications trucks. Although these military vehicles have long since retired from service, they certainly haven't lost their power. With plenty of torque and serious off-road capability, learning to handle them will require plenty of concentration as you tackle the challenging terrain. With a voucher valid for four people, this is the perfect experience to enjoy with friends, family or fellow military enthusiasts. Each person will get around 45 minutes of driving time, putting their skills to the test behind the wheel of an authentic military vehicle.
