Drive at least 4 mammoth military vehicles, and try your hand at shooting and survival during this 9 hour military day of tank driving, gun shooting madness in Northamptonshire!

Tank Driving Experience Days: This is the ultimate in tank driving experiences, a guaranteed military day of mayhem. You will get behind the wheel of at least 4 military monsters as you join the army for a day, and blast your way around 100 acres of ideal Northamptonshire countryside. Split into teams with the other participants, you will compete in 6 events including tank driving, mortar firing, and clay pigeon shooting.

Over a full 9 hour day, you will have as much army experience as you can handle - from talks on weaponry and survival skills through to navigating booby trapped woodland, and - of course - driving the magnificent military vehicles. This really is a battle - the best driver of the day will win the chance to crush a family-sized car in a 56tonne Chieftain tank, as his/her team mates and spectators come along for the ride!

This tank driving experience makes the perfect gift for anyone who loves an unusual vehicle.
