This is a great opportunity to get behind the wheel of 17 tons of military steel - a FV432 armoured personnel carrier. With the help of supportive instructors, you will soon get to grips with this mean machine. Using your new found skills, you will have to tackle a tricky obstacle course with the hatches open and your head out. This is the simple part! Now it's time to try the same course with hatches closed and navigating using the periscope. With your peripheral vision gone, a sudden realisation of how hard this is gives the ultimate adrenaline rush.

Your experience will start with an introduction and safety briefing given by the friendly instructors who will give an overview of the tank and it's controls. After spending some time getting used to the tank you will be given your first test. Negotiating a tricky tank course set in a World War II bombing range. If your confidence is running high then you'll want to try it again but under more challenging conditions. Hatches down with only your periscope to guide you. Are you up to the challenge?
