Explore a former gravel quarry with our fantastic Drive a Digger Experience for Two in Sibbertoft on the Northamptonshire/Leicestershire border. Take along a friend, family member or partner for a drive filled with digging, dozing and earth moving! The two of you will get to sit in the driver's cab which sits on the rotating platform with twin rubber tracks whilst getting to grips with control levers in the cab which allow you to dig and fill your bucket with earth. This is an ideal location for digger driving as the ground is very undulating, which means when it rains it holds all the water, making for a mud filled mucky ground. The two of you will take turns making trenches and practising digging foundations and will likely get lost in the satisfaction of shifting the earth from one side to the other. Paired with an instructor leading the way, the two of you will walk away with a whole load of knowledge about digger driving and a new appreciation for Volvo excavators!
