Massively recommended as a day out....

A good friend would like to run her late father's car in hillclimbs as he did but for her it is all new. I suggested she tried it out first by booking on one of the tutor days and we went yesterday.

From the minute you arrive everyone is really friendly relaxed and there to help

Coffee and biscuits ahead of a good sensible not over the top briefing

AM
One tutor allocated for every ten drivers
Hill walk showing lines with cone guides
Two convoy runs
Two practise runs and then an individual debrief from the tutors positioned on the hill
Three runs

Really great homecooked lunch and drink

PM
Five more runs and further coaching by tutors

Tea and cake!

Very well recommended for the £165 and we travelled 300 miles to be there for the day.- and yep she had a great day

Can only agree with this.

It was all well organised and efficient from the start. The hot dry weather probably helped as there time for an additional run before and after lunch.

No timing, meant no pressure to perform which kept it all relaxed, my wife really enjoyed herself and was soon buzzing the car up to the limiter.
