Driving a hovercraft is like nothing else, the closest description would be driving a car with four flat tyres on ice! You'll be turning the wheel and the hovercraft doesn't seem to start turning until a couple of seconds later! So planning and positioning your hovercraft is vital if you're to make it around the course. Do you have the balance, judgement and forward thinking to handle one like a pro?
After a safety briefing to familiarise you with the craft, you will be shown the controls and driving techniques needed. You then get the chance, under the supervision of an instructor, to get behind the 'wheel'. You may even, show your newly found skills off by completing an obstacle course. The activity can take place on grass, mud, sand or water.
You will then move to the BP challenge, which involves a series of obstacles and gates to manoeuvre the craft around.
Please note the programme of events varies by each location.
