About

You've got to hand it the army - they've definitely got the best wheels. You can't beat a day driving around in military vehicles and shooting at stuff. All the fun of being a soldier with none of the risks. You'll be kitted out in a camouflage suit and helmet and given a full safety briefing. During the course of the day you'll drive a Russian Grozdilka tank, a fully amphibious Hagglund tracked carrier, an FV 432 armoured personnel carrier and a Rapier rocket carrier. You'll get a ride in a Lance missile carrier, spend an hour in the armoury and there are other military-themed activities too - learn how to fire a range of classic weapons like mortars and muskets (mind your eyebrows!), go on an SAS woodland patrol and try clay-pigeon shooting. At the end of the day, the best driver will get to crush a car with a 56 ton Chieftain tank! Lunch is included, and you even get to keep your camo suit. So leave the tv behind and come and get in touch with your rough and ready side!

Participant Guidelines: Minimum age is 13. Minimum height is 5'2''. You'll need to be reasonably fit to take part. You don't need a driving licence or any driving experience.
Weather: The weather shouldn't stop this experience going ahead, but any cancellations are for your own safety. There are covered areas on site to shelter in if it's wet.
Duration: Your experience lasts around nine hours. You will spend around half an hour driving.
Numbers On Day: There will be a maximum of 72 people taking part, split into smaller groups of 12, with more vehicles added for more people if necessary.
Spectators: A £30 spectator fee (payable on the day) includes lunch and a ride on some of the vehicles. You must let us know spectator numbers in advance (min age 7). Facilities are basic but spectators will be able to watch most of the action.
Dress Code: A camo suit and helmet will be provided, so there's no need to wear anything special. Bring wellies and gloves (spectators too) - this one is not for the faint-hearted and everyone usually gets pretty muddy!
