Recently we told you about our fantastic PHers Land Rover
night drive
taking place at Eastnor in November.
Forget sliding around in the mud during daylight and being home in time for tea, we don't even start this off-roading session until dusk and we carry on through to almost 10pm.
Fancy a brew along the way? We'll be stopping in the mud to have it al-fresco. What about negotiating tricky decents? Well that might be rather scary, as we'll be guided along the way only by Hella spots, and at the top of the drop they will only be lighting the sky ahead! When it's all over, the pub will rarely have seemed so welcoming...
A few hardy PH souls have booked up to join us, but to be honest we are a little sad that so many PHers appear to be afraid of the dark! The session can hold 12 people and we are still some way off capacity (sadly) so it's not too late to join us and have what promises to be the laugh of the year... especially for the PH team as we'll be using our long-term test Defender which doesn't have any additional fancy lighting!
As we finish late in the day, we have arranged for some special-rate local accommodation too. Perfect for a post-drive pint (or three) and a chat about who was the worst driver on the night. (They'll get the first round in, naturally.)
Have a look at the previous article for all the details, but for as a taster here is the itinerary for the evening
15.30: Arrival at Land Rover Experience for refreshments and registration
15.45: Guests will receive a short safety briefing.
16.00: Guests are shown to vehicles and commence off road drive. A coffee hamper will be taken out with the convoy to have en route. Groups will return to the LRE HQ for dinner during the evening
21.30: Convoy returns to the HQ for a warming brew to wrap the evening up. (convoy may be back later than advertised: driving conditions dependent)
Places are priced at £225 per person, and we'll have four people in each car (3 x PHers and one non-driving instructor) giving plenty of time behind the wheel for everyone.
