If you're looking for proper 4x 4 driver training this BORDA accredited centre is the place to go! BORDA is the British Off Road Driving Association & these 4x 4 training experiences follow their ' Standard' Level course itinerary to get you a certificated pass at the end of it all. Set in the North Nottinghamshire countryside this BORDA training centre is well-placed to offer official off road tuition. The site is pretty impressive with over 40 acres of terrain much of which has been made into purpose-built courses & trails dedicated to off road vehicles. Routes have been designed to offer everything from typical mild-level terrain that you find in the UK to more extreme elements to show off what the vehicles can do. The aim of this course is to get you proficient & knowledgeable in how 4x 4s work & how you drive them in certain settings that involve mud grass snow & ice. Nothing too steep or extreme to begin with as these sessions are all about getting you to really understand why & how the car reacts & as the driver what you should do. It's fascinating stuff. With highly-experienced BORDA certified drivers hosting you'll learn how 4x 4 systems work (there are several different ones with permanent & semi-permanent four wheel drive for example) & how to prepare the vehicle for going off road. It's not simply a case of jumping in ignition on & away you go. You need to be prepared no matter how 'gnarly' your vehicle is! Throughout your half day you'll cover units one to seven of the BORDA ' Standard' Level Course. The syllabus also

Includes:: the Safety Awareness Course which is essential for anyone planning to go offroading recreationally or in the line of work. If it all goes well you'll leave with your BORDA certificate. For this 4x 4 driver training the operator recommends using your own vehicle. That's because this is the car you'll be most familiar with. Of course it does need to be a suitable 4x 4. You also have the option of using one of the training school cars which are usually Land Rover Discoverys.

We have to say this Coniston 4x 4 experience is really rather swanky as they have the smartest fleet of off-roading vehicles ever seen this side of Skipton! At the start of the session these 4x 4s are all in show-room condition with freshly polished gleaming paintwork so let's see if you can get the mud splashes up to the windows... This Coniston estate between Settle & Skipton is the perfect place for a spot of 4x 4ing in the Dales. Well away from any form of public road the land around Coniston Hall is vast. We're talking over 1400 acres. & the best thing about the 4x 4 experience here? The fact that it is purpose-built to give you a both an obstacle route that gives you challenge after challenge in rapid succession as well as meandering trails that cross the seemingly endless moorlands & duck in & out of the forest too. In fact you can go as full-on or as cruisey as you like. The Coniston team ensures each experience is geared towards each driver so if you want to push the car to its limits you can or you can go on a gentler voyage of discovery into the world of offroading North Yorkshire-style. What's more you can invite up to three passengers to ride with you & if you book an hour or two hour session you can even let them share the driving with you so everyone can have a little go. And what a setting it is here at Coniston. Originally a large farm estate the family diversified into offering country activities & providing accommodation. Today there's a large hotel with spa & conference centre boasting Mcleod's restaurant & the Huntsman's Lodge where hungry 4x 4ers can pop in anytime for refreshments. But we must give the last word on this wonderful 4x 4 venue in the heart of North Yorkshire to the fine collection of vehicles. The Coniston crew has invested very wisely in not one but several different 4x 4 brands. There are the chunky & rugged Defender 90 & 110s from Land Rover the tarmac & mud loving Mitsubishi L200 Warrior & the bold & gutsy Isuzu DMAX. With this top-league line up that's what we call a 4x 4 experience! ...

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. The highlight of which has to be the one hour of private 4x 4 off road tuition that is included in these Wales activity break packages. You'll be collected from your lovel... ...

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...
