Off road experience day

Post by Gra-GT »

Yesterday I went on a Land Rover 4x4 experience day the mrs got me for my birthday last year. I would highly recommend it to anyone, I thought it was quality as I had never done anything like this before.

Here are a few of the pictures my mrs managed to take (click the thumbs for bigger pics :) )

It was at Rockingham Castle, near Corby. They use the grounds from the Castle, which are HUGE!, and have made few quary areas in there :D

This is the one that I did.

I think its a little more expensive than some out there, but you get to spend the whole day driving. Most others say in the fine print that you have to share drinving with other people on day, and you only get to drive about 20mins. This one was 9:30-12:00 solid driving, lunch, then 1:00-3:30ish pretty much driving on the bits of the course you want, I was going all over the place trying different things.

Deffinately worth the extra money! :D
