What Can I Expect

You see loads of off roaders on the roads in Kent, but how many of those actually go off the road? All the vehicles at this 4x4 centre in mid Kent near Maidstone are more than happy to get splashed in muddy water and covered in dirt. This is what being off road in Kent is really all about!

With acres and acres of woods, fields and orchards to test your driving skills to the max, the set up mid-Kent is certainly impressive. The team works full time offering off road driver training to professionals and commercial clients. Facilities in Kent are excellent and events are very well organised.

We are offering small group and individual private sessions at this centre near Maidstone. The small groups will be up to three plus the instructor in the car. Each person takes a turn at the wheel, so you can learn from each others' experiences. On the private lessons, it's all about you! 

All experiences aim to show off the capabilities of the four wheel drives at this BORDA and LANTRA (the 4x4 driving associations) approved off roading centre, which is one of the most respected and renowned in Kent. 

Your instructor will always be beside you, helping with advice to ensure you enjoy the experience to the maximum as you scale crazy gradients and negotiate axle-twisting cambers. The course has features that will provide a challenge for experienced off road drivers as well as for beginners.

As well as extra drive time, the half day experience adds in a classroom theory session to the mix to cover the principles of off road driving and ensure that you are feeling confident before setting off. 

So go on, leave the tarmac roads behind and have a go at off roading in Kent. You might be surrounded by sleepy villages and hop farms, but it's all action on this West Malling farmland. Drop the clutch and get ready to drive off into the dirt, grit and mud, well away from the public roads. Great fun.
