Just out of interest, having been here in 2003 for a days' off road training with Graeme, I just wondered if he was still going and clearly he is!!! That in itself is great to see as he taught us plenty and gave us the confidence for our future move.
We did a course all those years back before migration to Perth WA. He and his tuition were priceless to us as we were out in the WA 'bush' regularly down there in our Nissan Patrol. The confidence gained was a huge help and gave us the abilities to go places and see things that are just not possible in a 'regular' vehicle.
Money well spent!!

Had a fantastic time with Deepdale Off Road last weekend, thoroughly enjoyed the day from start to finish. Graeme was super friendly, knowledgeable, funny and a superb host that taught us lots about driving over various terrain during our time there. Value for money is excellent and overall was a really fun experience that I'd only be too happy to do again. I would recommend doing this if you haven't already and was a massive highlight as part of my birthday weekend.

Well what can we say!! Deepdale off roading was the highlight of our honeymoon! We can't recommend Deepdale off road enough! Graeme was so kind, funny and so knowledgeable! My husband had the best time talking the technical stuff about cars and offroading whilst we went through the tracks, trenches and muddy pools!! We can't thank Graeme enough for the most enjoyable half day offroading session and being part of ticking off one of the things on our bucket list!! If by this point you haven't booked your half day i highly recommend you do! You won't regret it!!

Just got home after a half day experience at deepdale off road. I purchased a gift voucher for my dad and we went along together with my mam.
Greame was fantastic, showing great enthusiasm for what he does and you could sense the joy he gets from sharing his knowledge.
He has carefully planned and created a number of short courses which allowed us to experience all the defender was capable of.
Greame also showed great compassion as my mother, went back to the office as she was in pain (not due to deepdale) so Greame offered her the chance to drive an atv instead as it was a more comfortable vehicle. We greatly appreciate this as it allowed my mother to still enjoy the experience, which would not have otherwise been possible.

Wow, what a great afternoon. I took my other half there for his 40th. He's done an official Land Rover experience, but I though he would appreciate doing a proper rough course in a Defender. Graeme was an excellent trainer, very knowledgeable and completely patient with both of us. We managed to scary the hell out of ourselves but still enjoy it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Went with my brother and sisters. Great day, learnt a fair bit but in a fun friendly way. Anyone looking for a 4x4 experience or professional training shouldn't go far wrong with this guy.
