Kielder 4x4 Safari

In partnership with the Forestry Commission GToN is proud to bring another unique experience for the 4x4 enthusiast.

A day of guided trail blazing in the heart of Kielder and Wark Forests, you will get to drive some of the more challenging and rough trails the forest has to offer and for the more adventurous the opportunity to pitch your driving skills and vehicle against a disused quarry.

Route

The Kielder 4x4 Safari takes a variety of routes depending on weather, harvesting and conservation issues GToN vary the route to ensure the long term sustainability of event.

Vehicles

All vehicles that take part in the Kielder 4x4 Safari events must be roadworthy. Every driver must present upon request their certificate of insurance and driver’s license together with their MoT certificate if applicable. All vehicles must hold current vehicle excise duty and be displaying the relevant disc.

All vehicles will be subject to scrutiny. Defects or modifications that may compromise the safety of the vehicle, its occupants or members of the public will not be allowed to take part. Similarly, any vehicle showing signs of oil or other fluid leaks will not be allowed to take part.

Conventional 4x4 type vehicles will be able to accomplish the majority of the route. Before undertaking any section drivers must assess both the capabilities of their vehicle and driving ability.
