Learn from experts how to drive an Armoured Personnel Carrier, a Chieftain tank, an Abbot Self-propelled Field Gun and a Quad Bike in one day of military vehicle driving!
Enjoy a half day like no other taking control of some very demanding vehicles certain to test your reactions to the full. During the pacy session you'll find yourself in control of a Chieftain tank, an Abbott SPG, an armoured personnel carrier and in a slightly more relaxed frame of mind, a quad bike.
Experience the type of vehicles that you were introduced to on news clips from the Falklands and the Gulf wars. Fully qualified personnel will take you through a quick briefing for each machine in the same military manner that they were introduced themselves.
Then it's your turn, taking control of a 55 ton Chieftain tank and steering it through a demanding obstacle course from the loneliness of under the hatch as you quickly get up to speed with an array of controls that would previously have left you dazed. Survive that character test and you are ready to tackle anything.
Take control of the famous Abbott self propelled field gun, get behind the wheel of an armoured personnel carrier then round off your activities with the freedom of a quad bike which can be as demanding as taking to the controls of a full size tank.
Notes and Restrictions
 3 out of 5
"Size problems!" The only size restriction mentioned on your web site is a chest measurement maximum size. I was just under that but being 6ft 4 inch and weighing in at over 18 stone I was unable to fit into the Challenger tank due to my height and weight not my chest size ( I'm a rugby player). This was very disappointing. Saying that I did manage to drive some of your vehicles and enjoyed them very much. I do feel that you should mention the size restrictions and make it clear to larger people.

"THE BIG 50 PRESENT" This was bought for me for my 50th birthday by my good lady wife and I must say was one of the best days I have ever had. From start to finish it was fantastic. Riding the quads then on the Chieftain tank, then over to the Abbot gun, then in the APC. I would recommend to anybody to try - not to be missed. Would do it again without question. Most definitely the most memorable days of my life.

"Brought out the kid in him" My dad has always shown an interest in the military so when I was searching through all the great experience days on the website, I thought this sounded perfect. And it was! I rang up Experience Mad to ask a bit more about the day and the lady who answered was extremely helpful. They make you feel very welcome as a guest there and my dad received excellent tuition throughout the day. As it is close to Winchester we decided to stay over, which made it a great weekend. Seeing my dad drive a Chieftain tank was a sight I'll never forget - nor will he!

"What do you buy a man who has everything" I went on to your web site and it had loads of great ideas. I booked my husband on to a tank driving experience day near Winchester. The day was brillant, the staff were really friendly, well organised, extremely professional. As a spectator I wasnt expecting the warm welcome at all, in fact I was going to go shopping in the town (being a shopaholic that I am). But didnt have time, I took lots of pictures of Peter and the people driving tanks, Quad bike racing, eating home made cakes and listening to the comentating. Later I was pursuaded to have a ride on one of the adapted tanks so I too could experience what it felt like. Such good fun. The day went too quickly. The staff were really helpful about where to eat and stay locally - we had a fantastic weekend thanks to the team and I have recommended you to many friends in the same boat as me. My husband received a steam train day from his parents now and we are looking forward to booking that up soon too. Thank you for making our weekend so special. Regards. Rose Hiles
