If you have always dreamed of driving around in some mean military machinery, then this is your chance. You will be pounding around in all sorts of different vehicles during the experience, depending on which location you choose. These vehicles include an Armoured Personnel Carrier designed to carry soldiers into battle, the Ferret Scout Car used as a light reconnaissance vehicle (and still in use today), a 17-ton Self Propelled Abbot Gun, the Snowcat which, as the name suggests, can operate on snow, marshes or on soft desert sand or even a 55-ton Chieftain Main Battle Tank.

When you arrive, you will be asked to sign an indemnity form, which will also require parental/guardian signature for those under 18. Your session will usually be shared with other drivers and you will be given an initial briefing, followed by detailed training from an experienced instructor before being allowed to drive the vehicles yourself under his/her guidance once you are judged to be safe enough.
