Give your mind and body a thorough workout with an impressive selection of off-road driving and field activities. Perfect for corporate fun days or team building, this site is one of the UK's best outdoor sites. Stamina, skill and a sense of humour are all requisites if you want to get the most out of your day - if you can handle that then we'll take care of the rest!
Qualified instructors will also be on-hand to give expert tuition for each of the activities, ensuring participants of all skill levels have their needs catered for throughout the day.
4X4 Land Rover Driving:
If you get a bit stressed if when stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, here's the perfect opportunity to vent some frustration and take a drive on the wild side. Instructors can take a maximum of 4 people around a specially built track inside one of the beefy Land Rover Defender 110 vehicles. Participants will be led through the various obstacles by the instructor before they are given the chance to tackle them on their own.
The 11 acre driving field has been dug out by proper Earth-moving equipment and filled with water - and don't think you'll be leisurely cruising over a few shallow puddles! The water often reaches half-way up the door of the vehicle and the ditches can reach 30ft in width - perfect conditions for testing out these rugged machines.
**Drivers must have a drivers licence.
Format:
Instructors will judge your driving skills as you traverse through the banks, steep inclines and deep trenches, and drivers will get approximately 10-15 minutes behind the wheel. Although mentally and physically straining, this activity is completely safe and it is impossible to tip the 4X4's over. Trust us - we've tried!
Off-Road Rage Buggy Racing:
Zippy, fast and fun, these 400cc Rage Buggies are the ultimate for those thirsting for a bit of speed and competition. Drivers will negotiate a superb 1000m dirt track that features jumps, hairpins, tyre stacks, run-off areas and tricky corners. In case that doesn't seem like enough of a challenge, the track is also wetted down by an internal sprinkler system to ensure the corners are nice and slippery!
Safety is still a major consideration on the track, and a traffic light system has been put in place to ensure drivers are fully aware of what is happening around them. The Rage Buggies themselves have also been kitted out with full roll cages, netted windows, a cut-off safety switch and a 4-point safety harness. Marshals will also be on-hand to make sure everything runs smoothly on the track.
Format:
Two Rage Buggies will race on the track at the one time, each buggy placed half a lap apart from each other for safety reasons. Drivers will each complete 10 laps, their efforts timed to determine a winner at the completion of proceedings. Each driver will get approximately 10-12 minutes on the track.
Quad Agility Course:
Coordination, concentration and patience will be needed to successfully complete this excellent Quad Agility Course. There are a total of four 2-stroke 100cc fully-automatic quads on offer, and the Agility Course itself is a cracker: featuring see-saws, logs, dips, slopes and water trenches, this will definitely put riders through their paces!
Featuring thumb throttles and a wrist strap that acts as an emergency cut-off switch, these quads are a blast to ride and are guaranteed to give everyone a safe and exciting time.
Format:
Instructors will give everyone a full safety briefing before guiding participants through the Agility Course. Then riders will tackle the course on their own, each person getting approximately 15 minutes on the track.
Reverse Steer Land Rover Driving:
Veering right when you turn left; veering left when you turn right: These brilliantly tricky vehicles will test the skills of even the most confident driver!
Format:
The Reverse Steer Land Rover instructor will take a maximum of 4 participants at one time out onto the challenging field track. Drivers will steer through a slalom course before parking the vehicle in a garage-like parking space constructed from cones. Then it's time to reverse out of the garage, navigate the slalom course backwards and then finally park the car again in another cone-constructed parking spot! Held as a timed event, each driver will get approximately 15 minutes behind the wheel of the Reverse Steer Land Rover.
Crossbow:
Live out your Robin Hood fantasies by grabbing one of these fantastic crossbows and firing off a series of arrows at high velocity. Four large circular targets will be set-up and competitors will be scored on their accuracy. Requiring patience, concentration and a steady hand, this graceful sport is a great way to test a variety of skills.
Competitors will get a number of goes at shooting the targets and will be instructed by trained professionals.
Clay Pigeon Shooting:
A peaceful wooded backdrop provides the ideal place to try out this exciting and challenging sport. With CPSA trained instructors on hand to guide shooters, it won't be long before you get the hang of hitting the clay targets. Each participant will have 2 practice shots before progressing through a series of stands, taking a number of shots at each. The stands will fire the clays from a multitude of positions to test your shooting skills, each mimicking the flight of different birds (for example: duck, pigeon or woodcock).
