Enjoy driving over all sorts of varied terrain, through water and even negotiating certain obstacles that standard production 4×4’s would struggle with! With an automatic gearbox, power steering and full time 4WD, the Hummer will make it all seem effortless. See if this is one beast you can tame.

One thing is guaranteed of this experience – there is no way you’ll hear the all too familiar whinge from the back seat of ‘Are we there yet?’ Quite the opposite in fact, as this family off-road adventure will be filled with fun, excitement and maybe even a few stomach-churning moments for you and your two passengers. Begin with an in-car safety briefing before a demonstration lap with your instructor driving (by your side every step of the way to educate and encourage). Then take the wheel of the Land Rover Defender, which will do everything you ask of it, and more. Silverstone’s challenging purpose-built off-road course combines steep gradients, big drops and deep water, demanding your full attention as you navigate a tricky obstacle course. You might be going slower than walking pace at times, but precision handling and rock solid nerves are definitely required. Your experience concludes with a debrief after the three of you stumble out of the vehicle onto terra firma.

With a spirit of adventure at the core of its character, the great outdoors has always been the territory of the Land Rover brand. These iconic off-roaders weren’t built to sit nose-to-tail in rush-hour traffic – you need to get them off the tarmac to find out what they’re really capable of. On this experience you’ll tackle some challenging terrain in one of the following king of the road vehicles – a Land Rover Defender, a Discovery or a Range Rover Sport. You’ll start with a thorough safety briefing (and tea and coffee is provided at most venues too) before your instructor shows you around your vehicle, explaining the impressive capabilities of these 4×4s. Then get behind the wheel yourself to conquer the muddy climbs, drops and hazards of an exhilarating off-road course, in stunning surroundings. Most venues have excellent facilities, including disabled access, catering, toilets, shelter and parking.
