Hovercraft Experience Days: Think you're a highly competent driver? Think there's no motor
vehicle that you couldn't drive like a pro? Think again!
Hovercrafting is like nothing you've experienced before; flying
over multiple terrains on a cushion of air is novel in itself, but
steering on your knees and using your entire body to change the
direction of the vehicle makes this a completely unique experience
that you'll never forget.
The activity begins on arrival at the Leicestershire venue where
you'll meet the expert instructor and any guests joining the
experience.
After a safety briefing and demonstration from the
instructor, you'll get your first feel for driving a hovercraft.
With the safety cord wrapped round your wrist, you'll slowly
increase the throttle until you feel the craft rise from the ground
and pitch forward - and you're off! Using your body weight to
manipulate the air beneath you, you'll have to focus on your
balance, judgement and forward-thinking to manoeuvre the hovercraft
around the purpose-built course, flying over ground and water.
When
you're confident in your abilities, you'll get to indulge in some
friendly competition earning points for every correct manoeuvre,
and finish with a time-trial race!
Hovercrafting is totally unique and makes a fantastic way to get
outside and enjoy some fresh air.
A perfect gift for driving
enthusiasts and those who love to try new things, this is one
experience you're sure to remember for a lifetime!
