Then, once briefed you'll be ready to hit the challenging track with your instructor - learning to go up, over and across anything in your way! With 45 minutes of driving and a qualified expert sat next to you, you can't help but learn some new driving skills and have a fantastic time. The session will come to a close with a debrief from your instructor.

The 45 Minute 4x4 Driving Experience in Devon makes a fantastic gift for outdoor enthusiasts and petrol-heads, sure to have them shopping for their very own off-road vehicle in no time!

This is the second off-road experience I have had and this was by far the best. The young gentleman who accompanied me was very thorough with his explanations and instructions and very obliging. It appeared that nothing was too much trouble for him to the extent that he even drove up to the car park to fetch my wife who was waiting in the car and brought her down for us to have a cup of coffee. All in all a very brilliant day.

The 4x4 experience was great fun on very muddy fields and woodland circuit and the instructor was extremely friendly and gave very clear instructions. I would say I was actually driving the vehicule myself for around 50 minutes following the instruction. I would highly recommend this experience at Tangley near Andover, especially if it has been raining a lot in the days beforehand (most days then!)
