THE COURSES
THE LAKESIDE COURSE
The Lakeside Course offers you a mix of mud, water and varying terrains across 100 acres of beautiful countryside with an abundance of wildlife. The course includes gravel pit lakes, silt beds, camel humps, curved side slopes, tree stumps, log piles and much more. Regardless of whether this is your first off-road event or you're a professional, the course really does offer something for everyone with alternative routes around features to meet all abilities.
The course includes four water features in total. There is a short dyke crossing with steep banks and the island crossing feels as though you are on a real life safari. There are two water features in another lake, one cutting 30 metres across a corner of the lake. The other is a stretch of water over 100 metres long, making you feel as though you could float off at any moment!
THE RIVERSIDE COURSE
This course will be open during the afternoon for all drivers with a full day ticket.
This was the original course built and designed 25 years ago. It is built on the banks of the River Nene, overlooking the Aquadrome. The tracks wind steeply up and down the banks, amongst the trees, giving you a green lane feeling and provide one and a half miles of hair-raising excitement.
