This junior off-road driving experience takes place on a 40-acre site in the North Yorkshire countryside, designed for youngsters eager to drive a real 4x4 vehicle. Located near the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and a few miles from the A1, the experience begins with a safety briefing and an overview of how 4x4s work. Participants will enjoy a 30-minute driving session, receiving one-on-one instruction from a qualified off-road instructor as they tackle challenging obstacles. There are no minimum age restrictions, but participants must be at least 5 feet tall to reach the pedals. With power-assisted steering and brakes, they can handle these robust vehicles with ease. This unique opportunity allows kids to drive a real 4x4 before they even obtain a learner’s permit, making it a memorable and envy-inducing experience. The friendly instructors prioritise safety while helping build confidence and skills. If you know a teen who would love this adventure, it’s time to book!
