I have been to meet Colin and Simon at The 4X4 Solutions in Eastwell Manor nr Ashford Kent to see if they could pull together an event for us.
A bit of background, Eastwell Manor was the location for the Land Rover Experience centre in Kent until recently when it was merged with another centre and moved to Luton.
Simon and Colin were the lead instructors at LRE Kent and have negotiated with the land owner to use the same ground for 4x4 driving and training. This is not a bash’em pay and play site.
The area is quite extensive (approx 7 miles of tracks) with different areas and tracks that will suit all levels of experience.
The format for the event is for a maximum of 12 vehicles on the site. After a 30 minute briefing you will be driving round the large demonstration area in your own vehicles (humps, side slopes, steep inclines etc) with radio contact with a central instructor who will be hopping in and out of your vehicles providing instruction as and when is necessary.
After lunch we will be able to drive around the wooded areas and tracks deeper into the estate, again with instructors jumping in and out of the vehicles.
As this was a LRE centre the site is non damaging if driven correctly. The ground is quite flinty so there are possibilities of punctures etc (as always).
Cost for the event is £100 for the day, this includes the instruction throughout and donation to the site. Cost is per vehicle, so passengers welcome, although there will need to be a spare seat for the instructors to jump in and out. Dogs are not allowed.
No confirmed dates yet, would just like to gauge if there is interest in setting up an event and anyones thoughts on it.

Had an excellent day. Thanks Snowy for organising

The guys from 4x4 Solutions were great and knew there stuff. The day was very relaxed and we were just left to get on with it unless we wanted assistance with anything. They were there all the time watching tho and did give tips and pointers on how to do somethings better.
The day was great and would deffinatly do it again at some point

Really pleased you enjoyed the day. I'll be speaking with Colin and Simon about future events and will let you know  I wanna live till I die, no more, no less

Great stuff. The last hill is really steep, the footage doesn't do it justice.

If I send the youtube links to Colin and Simon, plus the photos, are you happy for them to go on their website? I wanna live till I die, no more, no less
