The Lake District - Holmescales Activity Centre - Recommended!

Off Road 4×4 Driving in the Lake District

Holmescales Activity Centre, Old Hutton (near Kendal) Cumbria. 01539 722 147

We’re biased with this one, because this is where we work! Holmescales run a large (300 acre) LANTRA approved site overlooking the Lake District near Kendal in Cumbria and offer off road driving experiences in Land Rover 110s. Auto experiences can be organised in an auto Range Rover. Argo cat driving, quad biking, paintballing, hovercraft driving, digger driving, archery, clay shooting, pistol and rifle shooting and many other activities can be combined for a great day out.

You can also combine this with a spa day, or more leisurely activities such as horse riding - or to really top the day off you can try one of the longest zip lines (death slide!) in the UK! A fantastic site which can cater for numbers from 1 to several hundred.

Prices start from £75 for an hour’s driving for 4 people.

• Experiences from 1 hour to full days

• Multi - Activity
• Land Rover
• Quad Bike
• Argo Cat
• Hovercraft
• Rally Buggy
• Digger Driving
• Carbon Offset
• Corporate and private groups catered for
• ……and much much more!

Give Holmescales a call and you’ll be surprised at what they can organise - from spa hotel breaks (to recover from the quad treks!), paintball, horse riding and hovercraft driving!

Penrith - Greystoke Castle Estates

We’re not sure that Penrith’s Greystoke Castle Estates are offering driving experiences or training any longer. The above link still goes through to their website though.

This is us, so apologies if we’re a bit biased here!

We have some of the most highly qualified 4×4 trainers in the UK at Beyond4×4. In order to keep our high standards of training we only use fully qualified Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructors (DSA ADIs) to undertake our training.

All our trainers are also qualified as either LANTRA 4×4 trainers, or DSA Registered Fleet Driver Trainers, or both.

What this means is that unlike most professional 4×4 off road trainers - we can also legally train you in advanced On Road techniques, and can fulfill your occupational road risk assessment requirements under Health & Safety regulations.

Why undertake 2 lots of driver training when we can do both?

Being 4×4 specialists, we have specially tailored our road training to deal with the problems encountered by off road vehicles. Extra weight, height, the technical advantages and the unexpected limitations of all terrain vehicles are all covered.

LANTRA 1 day 4×4 course:

This can be used either to re-qualify for people whose certification period needs renewing, or as a part certification for the LANTRA Professional Certification. Under certain circumstances we will allow users with extensive knowledge or certification from other bodies (eg: BORDA) to use this short course to gain full LANTRA certification - please contact us to confirm this.

Based near Dalry in Ayrshire, just a few miles from Glasgow, Protec offer professional training for off road drivers and 4×4 users. Collection from Glasgow airport and accomodation can be arranged.

Ken Stewart has many years as an instructor in the armed services and with police forces across the UK. His knowledge and experience is excellent, and his approach to his training is refreshing, engaging and above all - extremely professional. This is why Beyond 4×4 have used Ken for our LANTRA Professional User and Winch training.

The two sites Protec use couldn’t be more different, 1 up in the fells, following rangers tracks and the other in an industrial landscape of a disused open cast mine. Each site provides its own challenges, and makes the driver think carefully about where they put the vehicle.

As Ken is also a qualified ADI, he can legally train 4×4 drivers for on road use (where the majority of collisions, damage and injuries in 4×4 use occur), which is something that very few other professional trainers can offer. If you need your company training for all round 4×4 use - contact Protec Training.
