Any one been on the LRE at skipton?
What's it like any good?? as I read a really bad review from someone on here and wondered whether it was just a one off or whether I should look at going further afield
Hi, i went to the Skipton last year, was a free half day experience with a voucher. Really enjoyed it to be honest, but it was my first experience of off roadng. I would probably like something more challenging now.Club N.E.R.D's

Myself and my partner went almost three years ago. We had a terrible time, so much so that I'd not go back. Hope you have a better experience than we did if you go.

Hi, I guess it might depend on which instructor takes you around but wife and I had a fabulous 1/2 day there last Sept ...a young instructor called Josh took us around...and made it a really great experience...lucky enough to have another voucher so looking to book for June...if you decide to go I hope you have a great day out.

If you have never ever ever got your tyres muddy then it will be interesting for you. It is an opportunity to showcase what a land rover can and will do! However don't expect to be behind the wheel for the significantly interesting bits.
Otherwise if you have ventured off the beaten track before you will be
