i've just done my "observer course" at Eastnor (last tuesday), which now entitles me to be able to instructor novice drivers on the basic's of off-road driving.....when you get to Eastnor you'l be shown around the vehicle, telling you about pre-off-road checks and what all the knobs and buttons do....you won't even get out of second gear...depending on what L/R you are going in...my fav is the D3...good luck and enjoy ya self...
