Can you cut it in the grass kart? These funky off road go karts are great to drive on the green stuff. You’re sure to be grappling like mad with the steering on this brilliant grass karting track in Fordsham.

Designed & built in the UK the Gemini Dominator kart is a right little pocket of punchiness. With a really low centre of gravity but impressive ground clearance at the same time they handle really well on this Cheshire off road karting circuit. They are also really easy to drive too
- it’s just a case of rev & go
- so those as young as 12 can drive them making this a superb choice for families & small groups alike.

Of course we have to admit that the Gemini does look like a roll cage on wheels but that’s what makes it so agile. That space-frame chassis is tough but lightweight & the lack of body panels helps keep the overall weight down & the fun factor up. Yes you’ll feel pretty exposed in the completely open cockpit but bouncing along in your off road go kart is all par for the course with these sort of buggies.

As for build extras on the Gemini? Well if you’re lucky you might get mud guards. But we think kicking up the turf & soil is all part of grass karting. Don’t go expecting anything fancy like ABS power steering or comforts like a windscreen
- this is (excuse the pun) grass roots go karting at its best.

After being shown the Dominator’s controls you’ll be out there on your own on the track. That’s because these Geminis are single seater so there’s no room for anyone to hitch a ride. It’s up to you to go out there & go for it. Those extra knobbly tyres on the buggy will do you proud as you swing into & out of the corners take flight over the bumps & accelerate off down the straight.

It’s pretty full-on piloting an off road kart like the Gemini so experiences are run with a maximum of three karts on the track at any one time. You’ll be taking your madcap buggy out for 10 laps of the four-acre circuit filled with drifting bends chicanes lumps & bumps.

Rocking the racing Rebel buggies in Cheshire! Hunt down chase & overtake other Rebel buggy drivers on the track at this outdoor venue near Frodsham in Cheshire. Taste all the thrills of off road racing in a right little Rebel.

This purpose-built gravel & dirt stage is the only track in the country where you can race in the impressive 931cc WA Rebel buggy. These Walker-Adams built Rebels certainly pack a punch. They’re side-by-side racers with Cobra bucket seats full racing harness & apart from the 931cc engine right behind your head nothing else!

Quite simply it’s pared-down buggying at its best. Instead of actual doors there's just a little bit of netting. & forget any hint of windscreen or roof it’s just a metal roll-cage all round.

What’s more you won’t be on the track on your own. As we mentioned you will properly race against each other with up to four Rebel buggies out on the track at once. You get a staggered start & the aim of the game is to close down & overtake other drivers.

Remember though it’s not who crosses the finish line first that counts
- it’s all down to your individual lap times. These are measured by computer-controlled timing equipment so you’ll be able to track your position throughout the event. Which one of you will be crowned Cheshire’s Rebel Buggy champ?

We have to say it’s actually pretty rare that you are actively encouraged to race & overtake so these experiences to drive Rebel Buggies in Cheshire definitely get the thumbs up.

- the Training Zone. Here you'll get to know the controls of your all terrain X2 Segway & learn how to manoeuvre this machine with just the slightest change in position. It's all to do with your body & where you put your weight
- & isn't half as tricky to master as it sounds! Once you've got the hang of it you'll feel like you're gliding over the ground
- at least until you head to Zone Two. This is where the serious Segway challenges of Surrey start making an appearance. Once your instructor feels you've got the hang of the X2 you'll set off on a rally through the wild woodlands navigating hairpin bends rocky outcrops trees & tough terrain exploiting the full off-road capabilities of these nifty vehicles. But what cross-country adventure would be complete without a little competition? So for the final part of your course it's on to Zone Three which is the point-to-point track. This is where the speed restrictors come off & you test your skills at riding these things at full pelt. After a few goes around the circuit it's time to set your personal lap time to decide once & for all who is the champion of Surrey's premier Segway track. You can Segway in Surrey on weekdays & weekends & these introductory experiences on the more rugged X2 versions of these transporters offer a wonderful way to get to grips with the Segways & are ideal for any novices out there.
