Tank Driving Experience

This experience gives you the chance to drive a Chieftain tank, Armoured Personnel Carrier and a Quad Bike. You'll be given full driving tuition by friendly and experienced instructors (who may have fought in the Falklands and Gulf Wars) and could have fascinating stories to tell. To keep all participants busy in the session the number of guests to vehicles will reflect this.

On the day you'll have complimentary refreshments, a full safety briefing, driving the Chieftain (MBT 55 tons 700hp), driving the Abbot SPG (self-propelled field gun), driving the APC (Armoured Personnel Carrier) and riding the Quad Bikes. At the end of the day you'll recieve a Certificate of Achievement to keep as a memento of the day. The experience will run on select Saturdays along with some Friday dates and toilets are available on site. There's also an undercover area with picnic benches and a wood fire that's lit in cold or wet weather, which is where the safety briefing will be held and the refreshments will be. - A.D.
