This one day course covers 27 km of fabulous mountain and lake scenery in the Groenland area of the Elgin/Grabouw Valley where a wide range of natural obstacles will be driven, including, off-camber, steep ascents and descents, mud, rocks, cross axles and more.

The route covers the spectrum of obstacles from easy (Grade 1) to Grade 3. We will not do any obstacle above Grade 3 on this tour and there are escape route options for anyone who feels uncomfortable with an obstacle. A lunch break will be enjoyed with grand views over the mountains. Bring your own padkos. Please note we don’t allow any alcohol during off-road training or any of our tours.
