4WD Like a Girl - Womens Training

We’ve previously run dedicated “4WD Like a Girl” training weekends — designed specifically for women wanting to learn in a supportive, relaxed environment.

These courses focused on building confidence, understanding your vehicle, and learning real off-road skills without pressure.

 

While we don’t run them regularly at the moment, there has been strong interest — and we’re planning to bring them back

What People Say
Kim, Crabtree
Thanks Mark - I had a ball on your recent 4wd Training Day. Your presentation was clear with just the right amount technicality to help me understand how a 4WD works - in particular tyres, diffs and traction control.

The confidence I gained from extracting your vehicle from a sandy bog was immense - the power of knowledge!  I thoroughly enjoyed myself and have found a confidence in 4 wheel driving I did not previously have.

The course is highly recommended.  Your passion is inspiring - you have flipped a switch in my brain - yes I can! Thank you.
