Juggernaut Driving

Posted by Lisa

Fancy driving something really big? Well, this is your chance to have a driving lesson in a massive articulated juggernaut - this’ll be a real test of strength and determination to see if you can handle this giant. This is a real driving challenge, because this articulated lorry is probably the largest thing you’re ever going to drive!

This is a superb chance to take the wheel of a mighty 340 Horse Power fifty five foot long articulated lorry and trailer on a huge area of private tarmac roads, with road markings, roundabouts, T-junctions, slalom courses etc. There is expert friendly tuition from instructors who will take you through a structured course that can be tailored to suit your requirements

Gliding with a Winch Launch

Posted by Lisa

Let us introduce you to this absorbing sport at some of the top clubs in the country. It’s a fantastic chance to experience the excitement of powerless flight and to take in the wonderful scenery unfolding below you.

After a pre-flight briefing, you will be strapped into the glider with your instructor. The glider is attached to a winch by a cable, and in a few moments you will be airborne! Once the cable is released you will search out some thermals and then gently glide back down to earth.
