An awesome off road adventure awaits your young driver aged 9 and up on this incredible 4x4 driving session, hosted at an ace outdoor centre near Upminster in Essex. On this 1 ½ hour long session, they’ll be getting to take on a specially built off road course in a Land Rover Discovery, a durable, stocky machine that can tackle just about any terrain it’s given! Ideally located with good transport links to the M25 motorway, these sessions are done privately with an off-roading instructor, and they’ll get the opportunity to take the wheel themselves for a bit and navigating hilly inclines and steep declines, wooded tracks and trails and of course, a fair bit of mud! Plus, they’ll have the option to have a family member of friend along for the ride as well - what could be better than that?
