The Full Monty Tank Driving Day
About this experience
Drive some of the most powerful and feared military vehicles in the world with this Full Monty Tank Day. You’ll be kitted out in a camouflage suit and helmet before taking the controls of a selection of incredible vehicles such as a 432 Armoured Personnel Carrier, Springer, Stormer, and Russian Gvodzika tank in this extraordinary experience, which includes a tasty lunch and refreshments to keep your energy levels up.
More than just driving, this fun day out also gives you the opportunity to have a go at clay pigeon shooting, SAS woodland patrol and firing 17th century flintlocks and mortars. Separated into teams, you and your fellow participants will battle it out in a range of tasks, with points awarded along the way. Give it your all because the winning participant and their team will get to crush a car with a Chieftain Main Battle Tank – an experience you will never forget.

“An epic day out ”
Had a great time at Grizedale Forest GoApe. There is a good mix of activities in the treetop challenge including some epic zip wires. Definitely was pushed out of my comfort zone but always felt safe. The kids in our group loved it. There can be a bit of waiting around between the platforms. Our experience lasted well over three hours from start to finish so allow plenty of time. A very good value experience.
