Malcolm what a star, a gentlemen and just kind and patient. The safety instructions were clear and precise and easy to follow. My son loved it and that's down to Malcolm's calm and friendly nature. We loved his stories and just being in his company. Could listen his stories all day. We had planned to eat at on site cafe but as was closed Malcolm kindly pointed us in a different direction. Cannot recommend him and this experience enough. Thought the £140 for an hour was well worth it especially as all 3 of us could go. Highly recommend 👌 x · via Google [Alan Barrow](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107049506806998454296/reviews) ★★★★★ Excellent morning, Debs was a knowledgeable and informative instructor. Our three hours of mud plugging just slipped by. Would thoroughly recommend. · via Google [Ralph L](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100275234806861687076/reviews) ★★★★★ Excellent hour in Elvedon driving around the forest. Allowed us to test our own car and learn how the off-roading kit worked, which was amazing! Thoroughly recommended. · via Google [Tracy Thompson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107450195198286916000/reviews) ★★★★★ Had an amazing hour on the 4x4 course at Elvedon.
