Military Vehicle Off-Road Driving Plus Stalwart Passenger Ride

Go off-roading in military style. Youll take the controls of the Leyland DAF 45/150. Your absolute beast of a truck weighs in at just over 6 tonnes, so youll know all about the power coming up from that huge diesel engine. Fully kitted out in your safety gear, your instructor will show you the ropes before you put those special tyres through their paces across the tricky terrain. Simple to drive, youll have mastered the clutch and amazing power steering in no time. Two brave spectators are welcome to hop in with you for all the off-road excitement.

Things only get more powerful from here. Back at HQ youll switch over to the phenomenal Alvis Stalwart. With six-wheel drive and Rolls Royce engine, this legendary machine was designed to go where tanks couldnt. Amphibious, and with speeds of up to 45mph, your instructor will put their foot down as this 6.5 litre monster eats up the terrain for a passenger ride you’ll never forget.
