Have you ever wanted to buy that Land Rover and drive off in to the sunset on a big overland trip?

Stepping (or driving in this case) into the world of Overlanding is daunting at best... With so many different set ups and some rigs costing £100,000 plus, where do you start? We know it's daunting because we've been there. We also know that overlanding shouldn't be reserved for 'overlanders'. We started out with no idea on overlanding and no mechanical experience and managed to achieve some pretty incredible overland trips. However, learning things the hard way is not always the best way to learn.
That's why we are running this introduction to overlanding course, to arm you with the knowledge and skills to get out on an overland adventure, whether that's a personal trip to drive the Pan-American Highway or attempting the Mongol Rally. Groups – Open group dates can be found below. Private group bookings also available. Min 3 people, Max 8 per group. Ratio 1:4 per instructor Price – 2 Days (1 night) Fully guided course - £380pp Dates- Preliminary and Covid-19 dependent 30th - 2nd May 2021 15th - 16th May 2021 4th - 6th June 2021 14th - 15th August 2021 2nd - 3rd October 2021 If you are attempting the Mongol Rally, get in contact as we are looking to run Mongol Rally specific courses in the future

A full on weekend of learning and laughing. We love to share our tricks and tips for overlanding. We'll have a selection of maps from around the world to help plan those longer excursions.
Itinerary
Day 1 (Saturday)
You’ll start the day meeting up with your instructors for the weekend. We'll run through the paperwork side of things; with our suggestions of apps to use, route planning, acquiring visas and working out logistics. Heading out on small scenic drive across Dartmoor National Park, we'll discuss the big one: what vehicle to take and how to recover them. Our short drive will give you a look at some of Devon's scenery, before arriving at our secluded wild camping location. The conversation can then continue around the open fire with our local Devon hamper and a selection of maps to keep us company.
Day 2 (Sunday)
Taking off on an early morning drive, this time heading off road using a network of local byways and practising some skills that have been learnt the day before. After exploring the back roads of the National Park, we finally return to Manaton by early afternoon. Here we can spend time to go through any other questions or queries with the instructors.

Experience
No experience is needed or even a vehicle. While we can't provide you with a vehicle, you can certainly jump in one of ours throughout the driving sections.
You're more than welcome to bring your own roof or ground tent. With a qualified Mountain Leader we can show you the ropes in setting up any style or type of tent you are looking to use. Although with our Wild Glamping site we can provide you with everything. If you are looking to learn specifically about the camping side of things, have a look at our introduction to wild camping.
