When Sir Christopher Cockrill invented the hovercraft did he ever envisage that it would be so much fun to drive one? The transport that can go over both land and sea, the hovercraft is a machine of wonder. You are sitting on a cushion of air, so the ride is wonderful, it's like being on a flying carpet. Do you fly it, or drive it? Are you the captain or the pilot? Either way, you are going to have a whale of a time on this remarkable vehicle. You'll be given an introduction and full safety briefing before moving onto a familiarisation session where you'll learn how to control your hovercraft. Once you've mastered the art of propelling it in the directions that you want, you will have a full hovercraft experience. This will involve going over both land and water. Once you've had plenty of practice, you will undertake a competitive timed lap of the course. What a wonderful and unusual day out - it'll be something you'll never forget.
