Absolutely brilliant

I was very nervous at first, went out for the preview run still nervous didn’t want to drive!!!! But with the encouragement from instructor and fellow drivers I did my experience and really enjoyed it it even though I didn’t do same track as the others I’m glad I did it. Thankyou . But would say being 5ft I found it hard to retch pedals and gears

Lots of ups and downs

What a great time I had. Great instructor who told you just what you needed to know but otherwise left you to enjoy your ride. The terrain was a good mix of hills and inclines with some areas where the vehicle was tilted side to side. Going down a pile of rocks was very involving. I would recommend this experience to anyone.

4x4 Defender 👍

Very impressed with the whole set up, was easy to arrange a suitable date for me to attend Winton Estate, Pencaitland where I met our instructor, Chris who is a gem of a guy. He was very informative, patient and was more than happy to answer any queries and of course, talk about Landrovers!!. I would recommend this experience to anyone who has the slightest interest in driving.

Brilliant experience

I had been given a voucher for a 4x4 taster experience which was booked for Stafford. On arrival I was told that one of the vehicles had broken down but they offered me to drive a Lamborghini in its place. Was a higher value and they ensured I had a great day. Well run event, easy to book and friendly staff, brilliant value.

Great 4x4 taster

Excellent taster to off-roading. Good and exciting course at Winton House in Scotland. Pleasant and knowledgeable instructor, I always felt safe. Good quality, well maintained vehicle. Can happily recommend this experience. My only complaint is that on the day I was there, the buildings and offices were locked, meaning no toilet facilities.

Good session with knowledgeable tutor.

I did a one hour off road driving course. This was good fun and I had the tutor and car to myself. I took the controls pretty soon and was taken through an ever more difficult set of obstacles / hills to drive over. The tutor was calm and explained things well. This is NOT an adrenaline filled top speed experience. It is controlled and shows you the safe way to use a 4 x 4 in difficult terrain. Do not book if you want thrills and high speed turns.

4x4

A good starter into 4x4 wasnt difficult at all could've been better has in more difficult obstacles and as a one on one tuition due to swapping over every ten minutes. Instructor was good so well done to him. 😃

4x4 intro in Wales

We had no expectation on what was going to happen, but it was met. We were taken onto private land up the hill which was a challenge in itself. We were shown the gear ratios and told what the defender was capable of and left to drive under instruction. We then went onto a more challenging course with a few hills to accent and defend. Learnt something and wished it was longer as only had a hour between 3.

4x4 off road taster

I enjoyed the experience but you only get 10 minutes driving the other 5 minutes is talking about how to drive the 4x4. On entering there is no sign to say you have to go to the office to register , after registering you catch a mini bus back to where you come in for the experience then there's no-one in the office to sign you in so when the instructor comes he doesn't know who is next!! That needs a bit of organisation!!

Not good value for money

Bought 2 of these vouchers for my brother inlaw's 30th - thought it would be more fun if we both did it. In short, we booked in-drove over an hour to get there. Believed we were supposed to be driven round the course 1st by a professional but it was just a verbal talk through then we drove - 1 lap each, barely 15 mins all in. The course wasn't what we were expecting for an off road 4x4 experience. Very disappointed, waste of money & time. Embarrassed I got this as a present for my brother inlaw.
