| Full Monty Tank Day Imagine the thrill of driving a 56 ton tank, firing a musket or 'swimming' an amphibious truck.
Your day will include driving at least 4 Military Vehicles, plus a selection of other military related exercises. You will learn to fire a Flintlock Musket and a 17th century Mortar - then pit your new found skills against the other contestants. Attend a briefing about modern terrorism and then compete at SAS skills in the woods. The Full Monty Day's winner gets the chance to balance a 56ton Chieftain Main Battle Tank on top of 2 family saloon cars! Life will never be the same again! |
|
| Your day will begin at 9:00am and finish at 6:30pm. It is recommended that you bring clothing with you that you are happy to get dirty and wet. Boots or stout footwear are a must. Where the activity demands it, you will be provided with a safety helmet and suitable coveralls (if necessary goggles and gloves). Lunch is provided with refreshments served throughout the day. |
