I'm new to land rover ownership and have been invited for half a day at an experience centre - rather than just go for my local one, I would like to go to the best in the country - any feedback welcome.

In particular I would like to learn how to wade in an equivalent car to my own and how to get out of a muddy field on road tyres!

Cheers

Cheers Podie, I assumed it would be.

I asked the lady on the bookings line and I guess she needs to remain impartial so she couldn't recommend one over another!

There used to be a guy on here that logged in as "farmeryellow" who was a Landie test driver - might be worth emailing him via his profile.

£20 says Eastnor....

Right then - went to Eastnor today and all I can say is WOW - seriously impressed by everything about the day. I would highly recommend it to anyone even vaguely interested in Land Rovers.

Cheers

There was a little bit of mud - honest!

No bloody views though as it was foggy and only cleared as we were heading back.
