Would love to do this but too far sadly. 700 mile round trip and Ill be in the midst of trying to sell my house so cant spare the time. Learned to drive in 2011.
Bought a Micra - great little car
"Upgraded" to Kia Sportage - hated it
Proper upgrade to FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k
Reconditioned diff at 70k ish
Sold at 84k and now on a DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental

My wife and I would be interested.

Hi Looks a good opportunity to enjoy the company of fellow members, are kids allowed

Javaty,
It would be great to see you. As far as kids attending the usual stipulation is they should be over 6 (off the top of my head) but as they'll be in your own vehicle most of the time - there should be no problem.
Children aged between 11 and 17 can on occasions also have a short drive.

I'm away for a week or so and on return will start firming up arrangements.

Just an update - will post full details shortly.

The event will go ahead on 14th June and the basic cost will be £50 per vehicle to use the LR Experience East of England Offroad site (usually £65) with an instructor on hand to advise. For an additional payment of £20-25 you will also get the chance to drive one of the LR Experience vehicles, not sure which one yet but probably a Discovery or Discovery Sport but depending on the wishes of the majority could be changed to anything in the range.

Access to Rockingham Castle will be available on the day.

Food will not be provided but coffee/tea and biscuits will be available - could bring a picnic or similiar.

There will be a Discovery Sport available during the day for anyone who wishes to try it on and/or off road with an instructor to tell you all about it.
