Get ready to take the driver’s seat of something seriously powerful with the Army Truck Driving Experience in Surrey. Forget the car wash and traffic lights, this is your chance to command a 6-tonne Leyland DAF 45/150, the kind of machine built to laugh in the face of potholes and power through mud like it’s nothing.
Taking place at the Gatwick Aviation Museum, this thrilling experience isn’t just about getting behind the wheel of a military icon, you’ll also get free entry to explore the museum itself, home to a fascinating collection of historic aircraft and aviation memorabilia.
Your adventure begins with a safety briefing and a chat with your expert instructor, who knows this beast inside out. Then it’s your turn to climb up into the cab, fire up that roaring diesel engine and feel the raw power beneath your feet. Once you’ve got the hang of the clutch and steering (which, surprisingly, isn’t as heavy as you might think), you’ll tackle a rugged off-road course designed to test the limits of both man and machine.Â
The Leyland DAF you’ll be driving was originally used by the British Army for everything from troop transport to refuelling tanks. The one here is fitted out as a troop carrier, ready to give you a taste of what it’s like to be in charge of serious hardware, minus the actual troops, of course.
Whether you’re hunting for a Father’s Day gift, a birthday surprise, or something a bit different for an adrenaline junkie, this experience hits the mark. It’s bold, it’s muddy, and it’s guaranteed to leave a grin plastered on your face.
With this voucher, you also get one free entry to the the Gatwick Aviation Museum.
