Go truly off the beaten track on an offroading break near Swansea! These adventure weekends in Wales combine a one or two night cabin stay in the peace & quiet of the Welsh countryside with some native 4x 4 driving on superb terrain. Quite possibly the perfect blend of action & relaxation for a countryside retreat. This part of Wales not far from Swansea was what 4x 4 vehicles were made for. It's their natural habitat. This is where proper four wheel drive vehicles work for a living trekking across windswept valleys assisting everyone from farmers & the fire brigade to electricity workers & mountain rescue teams. Round these parts the 4x 4s aren't expected just to do the school run… What we love about this 4x 4 break is that Swansea & the surrounding area has so much to offer for a weekend of activities.

Prepare yourself for proper offroading in Wales! This part of South Wales was pretty much made for 4x 4 experiences like these. You'll be on Ty Rhiw Farm in Taff Wells which has the perfect mix of trees farmland & hills to show off these trials 4x 4s to the very best of their capabilities. The terrain at this centre in-land from Cardiff is as tough as the vehicles you'll be in. We're talking fully-prepped off roaders that started life as standard Land Rovers before being modified to become competition-standard trials vehicles. & in fact these 4x 4s have competed in many an actual trials comp. They're also really rugged so don't worry about bashing that tree root or splashing that Welsh mud right up the sides & onto the seats
- it's all par for the course when you're off road trialling in Wales! And we have to say when a 4x 4 experience supplier starts off by telling us 'a decent pair of boots & rain jacket that you don't mind getting muddy are essential' we think that's a def...

Toyota Land Cruiser-ing in the wilds of East Lothian on 1:1 4x 4 sessions with BORDA instructors. ...

Discover the might of the 4x 4 Land Rover Discovery when you take the plunge & go off road in Newcastle! Put simply this vehicle is one of the most renowned 4x 4s in the world for agility endurance & sturdiness. You can pretty much go anywhere in a trusty Disco II & a few rocks; water troughs & tree trunks certainly won't get in your way. We think you will love driving it around the Northumbrian countryside. The setting for this experience is superb. This lot just outside Newcastle specialises in offering all sorts of gnarly off roading activities & the terrain at their disposal is tip-top. It all sounds very posh as it's in the grounds of the Edwardian Slaley Hall estate but don't worry it's not at all sanitised here
- there is still a truck load of mud dirt water & long grass for you & your offroader to wade through. In fact this off road course near Newcastle is nationally acclaimed & features an impressive mix of steep hills big drops off camber sections & even water canyons. What really caught our eye though is the fact the Land Rover you'll be driving is modified
- no we're not talking UV lights & blacked out windows we are talking a 2.5 inch lift kit snorkel & lightweight wheels. All these bits & bobs mean you can go deeper into the water (without getting any in the carburettors) & steeper on the banks without tipping up
- try some of these tests in a standard car & you won't get very far! As well as the car you will also be well-equipped to deal with these challenges as the instructor drivers will guide you all the way around the 4x 4 course. Alongside the safety briefing you'll be taken on a demo drive around some of the toughest parts of this Newcastle course before you're let loose behind the wheel for your off road session. Drive this Discovery II Td 5 at Newcastle's finest off road centre & you have exclusive use of the vehicle for around 50 minutes. All tuition is on a one to one basis rather than being part of a small group. If you've got friends & family who want to join in the fun you can invite up to four of them along with the additional driver/spectator vouchers to ride in the vehicle. They can even share your driving time with you if you're up for it. A fantastic best value deal for budding off roaders in the Newcastle area.

These passenger rides all have the same aim: to show you just what these 4x 4s can do. When we say thrill ride you might think of high speed & acceleration. In the case of a 4x 4 passenger ride it's all about low speeds & torque but that doesn't mean a ride in an off roader is any less thrilling. Far from it in fact. These vehicles are tough well-built & scared of nothing. They go places you would never even dream of attempting in your average family hatchback. Some of the settings for these 4x 4 passenger experiences are pretty wild. We're talking former quarries & airfields forests & riverside tracks too. Most use the natural topography of the land to its best advantage adding in some classic manmade obstacles to add an extra dimension for drivers & passengers. A see-saw here a log roll there & some very steep drops all to get the thrill levels increased even though you're nowhere near breaking the speed limit! It's worth noting how these passenger rides work. The cars can seat up to four passengers with your expert 4x 4 instructor at the wheel. Each participant has an allocated ten or so minutes for their experience but when passengers are grouped together the ride time is accumulated. So for example if there are three of you in the car you'll all be out on the track in the same car together for 30 minutes. No matter how long you are out on the circuit for in the 4x 4 one thing's for sure
- it's going to be a thrilling ride. Expect bumps lumps some chassis rattling & even a bit of side sliding. It's certainly true these off road vehicles can get themselves into some sticky situations but never fear these formidable 4x 4s can power their way out of them too. Book in for a 4x 4 ride & let your off road expert demonstrate just what a beefed up off road vehicle can do. Witnessing the moves from inside the car as a passenger really brings the whole thing to life as you pick your way through rocks water troughs & rutted tracks in an impressive display of 4x 4ing prowess.
