Staff Review – Off Road Driving With Berkshire 4×4

Aaron    Experience Guides     4x4 Driving, berkshire, off road driving

Below is an experience review from trusted member of the Product & Marketing Team Ollie. He recently visited Berkshire 4×4 for a morning of off-road driving and here is what he thought!

Whilst loving an extreme adventure at every available opportunity; it’s serious business being tasked with reviewing one of our partner centres – especially one as well established and long standing as Berkshire 4×4… even more so considering I have no 4×4 driving experience! As ever, I was more than up for the challenge – under the tutelage of a professional, and duly obliged in what turned out to be a fantastic day out in the Berkshire mud-bath!

EdgeWalk – Toronto’s Newest and Most Extreme Adventure!

Aaron    Experience Guides    

Bringing you some of the craziest and most extreme adventures from around the globe has this week brought us to Toronto, Canada to the world’s highest hands-free walking experience; EdgeWalk – around the CN Tower at a magnificent 1,168ft (356m) in the air!

Wearing some hefty harnesses attached to an overhead rail, dare-devils walk around the outside of the tower in groups of 6-8 with some quite spectacularly breath-taking views of Canada’s largest city, Lake Ontario and Buffalo, NY.

The trained guides at the top of the tower encourage the thrill-seeking customers around the famous Tower’s main pod, enticing and encouraging them to push the adrenaline and lean back over the edge – a frightening feat considering the height and magnitude of what is actually going on!

EdgeWalk lasts for 90 minutes in total, with the actual outdoor-experience totalling around 30minutes – and costs $175 (£108) including a commemorative video.

Edge-Walk is safe! Being the world’s highest hands-free walk of course has sky-high safety stipulations, and these international safety & security standards are of course met and adhered to.

This costs roughly about the same as The Highest Bungee Jump in the UK – so what do you think is more extreme, and which would you rather do?
