What Can I Expect
Get geared up for a bit muck shifting, dozing and earth moving
on these digger experience days! This is your chance to drive an
actual digger in a former gravel quarry. The excavator will be
right at home because it's working in its natural environment and
you'll be deliriously happy too, as everyone loves the idea of
doing a bit of digger driving.
These digger days take place at Sibbertoft on the
Leicestershire/Northamptonshire border. Before becoming a top-notch
off road driving and outdoor activity centre, gravel was quarried
here. That means the ground is very undulating, gets water-logged
rather easily and can be very muddy. The prefect terrain for a mini
digger, then!
When we say mini, this digger still weighs in at hefty three
tonnes, but for aficionados in the plant and construction machinery
world, if it's under seven tonnes, it's mini. This Volvo excavator
is just as you'd imagine. The driver's cab sits on the rotating
platform (or house) with twin rubber tracks. The boom moves up and
down, whilst the 1.8m long dipper is the bit attached to it that
has the force to dig into the ground. On the end of that you'll
find a bucket, used to scoop up the earth. And all of these are
controlled with levers inside the cab and that's your job.
What's great about driving a digger is experiencing for yourself
how manoeuvrable they are. The tracks mean you can trundle along
quite happily on this rugged quarry terrain. The fully rotating cab
means you spin round on the spot, which is just cool. And of
course, having that powerful digger arm at your disposition means
you can have fun doing 'some serious damage' in the mud.
Dig a hole, make a few trenches, practice digging foundations -
these are all the sorts of ground works these Volvos excel at. And
we have to say, there's something infinitely satisfying about
shifting earth from one side to another in order to make a big hole
in the ground, before scooping it all back up to fill it up again.
That's what digger experience days are all about. Let's see if
you're cut out for handling some heavy play machinery in this
former quarry work site!
