WAR HORSE OFFERS AT CASTLE INN, CASTLE COMBE
ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF THE WAR HORSE FILM LOCATION AND MAKE A WEEKEND OF IT!
We have joined forces with the beautiful Castle Inn hotel in the amazing little village of Castle Combe to offer their guests discounted 4x4 courses http://www.castle-inn.info/special-offers/4x4-experience. There are lots of offers on their website including a War Horse weekend special at £340 + VAT for a couple sharing. The offer for the 4x4 which is £103.50 per person as opposed to the normal £115 can be done any day of the week (we do need a minimum of 2 people to run a course) and it takes 3 hours if we have the full compliment of 3 drivers. You don't need to supply the drivers as we put people together.
The 4x4 course is perfect for couples that want to learn the skill of off-road driving and is immense fun! We have BORDA (British Off Road Driving Association) instructors who will show you the course and then you get lots of hands on driving fun to learn all about 4x4 skills including a watersplash, scary ascents and descents. To book the offer you must be staying at the Castle Inn hotel and booked through them - if you were after a valentine's offer we have one on our karting which can be booked direct on 01249 783010, see http://www.drivetechltd.co.uk/component/content/article/46/91-valentine-special.html for more details or call us to discuss.
The Visit Britain website blog has the trailer for War Horse and also pictures of all the filming locations - you cannot go wrong with visiting the village of Castle Combe and less 5 minutes from us! http://www.visitbritainsuperblog.com/2012/01/in-pictures-war-horse-locations/

John Bishop Skid Control Experience!
Even comedians need to learn new driving skills and last week in between his Brighton and Bristol gigs for his new 'Sunshine Tour' we had the Liverpool comic John Bishop along for a skid day. Our instructor Adrian taught John and his team the benefits of skid control training and ABS/cadence braking techniques. Not sure how much snow there is in Liverpool, but as he is travelling around the country with his tour I am sure all the instruction will come in very handy!
