About

Choose from one of three colossal vehicles: digger, double decker bus or fire engine. Pick the digger to drive a 16 ton 360 JCB Digger one to one - you and an instructor with friends watching. Or a fire engine, either a 13 tonne Dennis or a Scania 82 Fire Appliance. Or try the 10-tonne Leyland Atlantean double decker bus standing at a huge 14ft (with over 31ft of vehicle behind you). After a familiarisation briefing of your vehicle of choice, move onto some of the challenges - slaloms, roundabouts and reversing your vehicle into coned areas are just some of the options to test you. Taking control of any of these monsters requires skill and concentration, but with an experienced instructor by your side you can expect the drive of a lifetime!
