Go truly off the beaten track on an offroading break near Swansea! These adventure weekends in Wales combine a one or two night cabin stay in the peace & quiet of the Welsh countryside with some native 4x 4 driving on superb terrain. Quite possibly the perfect blend of action & relaxation for a countryside retreat. This part of Wales not far from Swansea was what 4x 4 vehicles were made for. It's their natural habitat. This is where proper four wheel drive vehicles work for a living trekking across windswept valleys assisting everyone from farmers & the fire brigade to electricity workers & mountain rescue teams. Round these parts the 4x 4s aren't expected just to do the school run… What we love about this 4x 4 break is that Swansea & the surrounding area has so much to offer for a weekend of activities. The highlight of which has to be the one hour of private 4x 4 off road tuition that is included in these Wales activity break packages. You'll be collected from your lovel... ...

Toyota Land Cruiser-ing in the wilds of East Lothian on 1:1 4x 4 sessions with BORDA instructors. ...

Discover the might of the 4x 4 Land Rover Discovery when you take the plunge & go off road in Newcastle! Put simply this vehicle is one of the most renowned 4x 4s in the world for agility endurance & sturdiness. You can pretty much go anywhere in a trusty Disco II & a few rocks; water troughs & tree trunks certainly won't get in your way. We think you will love driving it around the Northumbrian countryside. The setting for this experience is superb. This lot just outside Newcastle specialises in offering all sorts of gnarly off roading activities & the terrain at their disposal is tip-top. It all sounds very posh as it's in the grounds of the Edwardian Slaley Hall estate but don't worry it's not at all sanitised here
- there is still a truck load of mud dirt water & long grass for you & your offroader to wade through. In fact this off road course near Newcastle is nationally acclaimed & features an impressive mix of steep hills big drops off camber sections & even water canyons. What really caught our eye though is the fact the Land Rover you'll be driving is modified
- no we're not talking UV lights & blacked out windows we are talking a 2.5 inch lift kit snorkel & lightweight wheels. All these bits & bobs mean you can go deeper into the water (without getting any in the carburettors) & steeper on the banks without tipping up
- try some of these tests in a standard car & you won't get very far! As well as the car you will also be well-equipped to deal with these challenges as the instructor drivers will guide you all the way around the 4x 4 course. Alongside the safety briefing you'll be taken on a demo drive around some of the toughest parts of this Newcastle course before you're let loose behind the wheel for your off road session. Drive this Discovery II Td 5 at Newcastle's finest off road centre & you have exclusive use of the vehicle for around 50 minutes. All tuition is on a one to one basis rather than being part of a small group. If you've got friends & family who want to join in the fun you can invite up to four of them along with the additional driver/spectator vouchers to ride in the vehicle. They can even share your driving time with you if you're up for it. A fantastic best value deal for budding off roaders in the Newcastle area.

No matter where you live in the country you can enjoy a 4x 4 ride! Thats because we've got 4x 4 demos at offroad venues the length & breadth of the country with the very best in 4x 4 vehicles revved up & waiting for you. These passenger rides all have the same aim: to show you just what these 4x 4s can do. When we say thrill ride you might think of high speed & acceleration. In the case of a 4x 4 passenger ride it's all about low speeds & torque but that doesn't mean a ride in an off roader is any less thrilling. Far from it in fact. These vehicles are tough well-built & scared of nothing. They go places you would never even dream of attempting in your average family hatchback. Some of the settings for these 4x 4 passenger experiences are pretty wild. We're talking former quarries & airfields forests & riverside tracks too. Most use the natural topography of the land to its best advantage adding in some classic manmade obstacles to add an extra dimension for drivers & passengers. A see-saw here a log roll there & some very steep drops all to get the thrill levels increased even though you're nowhere near breaking the speed limit! It's worth noting how these passenger rides work. The cars can seat up to four passengers with your expert 4x 4 instructor at the wheel. Each participant has an allocated ten or so minutes for their experience but when passengers are grouped together the ride time is accumulated. So for example if there are three of you in the car you'll all be out on the track in the same car together for 30 minutes. No matter how long you are out on the circuit for in the 4x 4 one thing's for sure
- it's going to be a thrilling ride. Expect bumps lumps some chassis rattling & even a bit of side sliding. It's certainly true these off road vehicles can get themselves into some sticky situations but never fear these formidable 4x 4s can power their way out of them too. Book in for a 4x 4 ride & let your off road expert demonstrate just what a beefed up off road vehicle can do. Witnessing the moves from inside the car as a passenger really brings the whole thing to life as you pick your way through rocks water troughs & rutted tracks in an impressive display of 4x 4ing prowess.

Can you handle all the torque & traction at this Surrey off road centre? This part of Surrey is renowned for those rolling hills & downs so you need a vehicle that doesn't mind being thrown around… That's where the 4x 4 Polaris comes in. It's a small & light all terrain vehicle that'll blow your standard 4x 4 car out of the water-splash. This Polaris RZR 800 EFI will go pretty much anywhere
- with ease. Boasting a low centre of gravity & true all-wheel drive the RZR does indeed offer razor sharp performance off road. This Surrey 4x 4 centre decided to use the Polaris for two simple reasons. Firstly it's that advantage of being super light & secondly it's really really easy to drive. It's literally rev & go. No clunky gear changes. All in all that means a relative novice in the world of offroading can tackle terrain here in Surrey usually reserved for more experienced drivers. You'll start your drive in the passenger seat (yes the Polaris is also one of the few of its ki...
