Overview
Get behind the wheel of an INEOS Grenadier with this brilliant 4x4 experience with Graythwaite Adventure. With careful planning and consideration for the natural landscape, we’ve designed the Lake District’s only off-road course with BORDA (British Off Road Driving Association) accreditation and BORDA qualified instructors providing expert tuition. Not only that, guests enjoy unrivalled views from the summit. We love to teach first time drivers and improve the skills of more experienced off-roaders. Whether you're a solo traveller or a party of 4, you'll have your own vehicle and dedicated qualified instructor.
- Your one hour experience involves one hour of driving.
- The vehicle comfortably holds 4 adults who can either share the driving or, as with children, just enjoy the ride.
- If you’d like longer, simply book a two hour experience.
Our vehicle; Graythwaite Adventure are proud to be brand ambassadors for the INEOS Grenadier and since the first time we sat behind the wheel of an early prototype, we've been blown away by them. We're passionate about sharing the experience and showcasing the Grenadier's incredible off-road capabilities. The one-hour experience is ideal for anyone who has followed the vehicle's journey and now wants to see what the hype is all about in the Grenadier's natural habitat; off-highway. For those who are lucky enough to own a Grenadier but would like to learn how to use it properly, we'd recommend the two-hour experience.
Following recent controversy within the National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site it’s important to point out that we avoid green lanes and this activity is carried out in an environmentally sustainable way on private land on a course accredited by the British Off Road Driving Association and the IOPD, that is constantly maintained.
