An amazing experience

Louisa 11 June 2026

Wow pretty much sums it up! This course was amazing. Stephen's knowledge and expertise was outstanding. There were 4 different models of 4wds in the course and he knew all about each of them and talked us through how to approach the task as per our own vehicles capabilities. The location was perfect as it had tracks around that covered different aspects of 4wding from river crossings to hill climbs/descents.

Excellent course, definitely worth the money

Jackson 20 July 2019

Good beginner 4wd course which goes into detail on the features of your vehicle and how to safely operate the high/low range gear box. Stephen gives an in depth insight into 4wding and shows you one on one how to operate your car

Best off-road day out

Martha Ann 31 March 2019

This experience was amazing! I learnt so much about my 4wd and was able to apply the skills and knowledge straight away. The instructor was funny and engaging whilst still ensuring safety as paramount. I would recommend this to anyone who has a 4wd and wants to have a better understanding of their vehicles capabilities in addition to building their off-road capacity and confidence. So worth it!

So much more confidence in what I can do!!

Amanda 12 November 2017

I learned so much. From learning the theory, I could understand how to get through and obstacle, why it works and apply it in other situations. I understand my and my vehicles capabilities more. Practicing in a controlled environment made it easier, with an expert standing by with advice, to tackle the obstacles on a real track.

Very educational

Philip 17 September 2016

I had a great day learning lots about my own vehicle and tips on how to keep it running well on and off road. Also enjoyed taking over terrain i would never have tried without the instructors advice. Now I'm more confident of my vehicle's abilities I look forward to more off road fun.

Great learning experience

Matthew 28 March 2016

Great mixture of theory and practical. Teacher very knowledgeable and gave great advice and helped build confidence in my ability. Great foundation course and would happily go back once I become more experienced. This is my first 4wd vehicle and first time using 4wd.

Do this course before you fit out your 4WD

Andrew 28 September 2015

Learnt what I and my particular 4WD can and can't do. I was also able to ask questions on what equipment to buy which means I am less likely to waste money on equipment I don't need or can't actually use.

Very informative and great for my confidence with my vehicle!

Coxmiester 4 May 2014

Simple sensible stuff that I can use - learned a lot of great tips and tricks - if you have very little experience with your 4WD - like me - then this is a fantastic starting point.

How versatile and extendable is our Skoda Yeti for the off road.

Popski 10 February 2014

The day was very informative and provided an atmosphere of try it, your car can do it and relieved many apprehensions I had at the start of the day. My experiences on the day showed the versatility of our vehicle to handle the types of obstacles that were presented to try. It was a great learning day with a good group of fellow participants. A great introduction to the safety aspects needed for safe 4wd activities.
