Military Vehicle Off-Road Driving plus Stalwart Passenger Ride
Overview
Go off-roading in military style. You’ll take the controls of the Leyland DAF 45/150. Your absolute beast of a truck weighs in at just over 6 tonnes, so you’ll know all about the power coming up from that huge diesel engine. Fully kitted out in your safety gear, your instructor will show you the ropes before you put those special tyres through their paces across the tricky terrain. Simple to drive, you’ll have mastered the clutch and amazing power steering in no time.
Things only get more powerful from here. Back at HQ you’ll switch over to the phenomenal Alvis Stalwart. With six-wheel drive and Rolls Royce engine, this legendary machine was designed to go where tanks couldn’t. Amphibious, and with speeds of up to 45mph, your instructor will put their foot down as this 6.5 litre monster eats up the terrain for a passenger ride you’ll never forget.

What a friendly team! Driving with Bill was great. The chat was as much fun as the drive. Got a tour of the other vehicles as well. Recommended.

Fantastic experience
Arrived early and didn't have to wait long to drive the army truck. The driving experience was fantastic. We then had a ride in a tank. Really exciting. Well worth the money.

Wonderful fun
Drove a military truck, got a good run, some fast driving, difficult manoeuvering, some rough ground. Very well instructed. A great day out.

What an afternoon!
Brilliant afternoon out! Driving the truck was great. We managed a ride in a green goddess as well. The tank ride was exhilerating. The driver practicaly managed a to pull off a doughnut. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. Thanks to Mum for a great gift!

Greatest 60th Birthday present
Really well run events. Enjoyable experience shared with my son. Although my planned passenger ride wasn't available both my son and I enjoyed the tank ride immensely. Unfortunately my wife could not come on the ride but she loved the hospitality tent.

Great Fun
Military vehicle driving was great fun, and so different to a normal car. I wanted to do more at the end of it. The stalwart passenger ride was something and nothing in comparison, and after being the driver, it's a bit of a disappointment. I'd also say it can be quite dangerous because you're thrown around at the mercy of whoever is driving and bashed about a bit - expect bruises. I chose to stand up but everything is metal and you really do need to hold on tight.

Loved my truck driving experience!
My dad got me this truck driving experience for my 30th. I absolutely loved the chance to drive this vehicle and our guide/driver was great fun. The passenger ride in the Stalwart didn't happen in the Stalwart as it wasn't working that day so we went in the tank instead.

So disappointed
After arriving at 11.50 for our slot at 12.30 to drive a military vehicle we were eventually underway at 1.10. We were told that the ride in the Stolly was not available and we were being upgraded to a ride in a tank. Big mistake. We transferred to the tank and endured half an hour at least with no means of stopping or any information on what we were letting ourselves in for. Ten minutes is enough. The so called upgrade is a con and spoilt the whole experience. The experience is way overpriced

Massive disappointment.
The so called "off road experience" involved driving around the perimeter of an airfield, which, like any other airfield is as flat as a snooker table. The Stalwart had broken down on the day also. Hugely disappointing experience. Especially after a two hour drive to get there. This experience was advertised very misleadingly. A huge disappointment.

Big disappointment
Very poor value for money. Not off road just a track at the edge of an airfield. Took about 15 minutes to drive up one way then back along the same track. Alvin Stalwart wasn’t working so didn’t even get a ride in that. No apology. Total waste of money.
