Birmingham Tank Driving
This is not a drill, soldier! It's actual tank driving. Birmingham stag party activities don't get any more exciting than this. Take a bona fide tank out for a spin on land that was once a bombing range. Realistic, immersive and intense, tank driving definitely ticks the 'something amazing' box. The instructor will hand out the tank suits and helmets, brief you all, and then drive the first lap with you so can get used to the controls. After that, it's time to put your tank driving skills to the test. Your first solo lap will be with the hatch up, but it's hatch down and periscope up for the second. It ain't easy!
However, you won't just be thrown into the fray without backup. The instructor will stay in touch with you via a headset. Feel the rush of power and adrenaline as you take the controls and manoeuvre the beast along the track, under battle conditions. The caterpillar tracks laugh in the face of bumps and mud, you'll never have experienced anything quite like it. Be warned: you will want to trade your car in for a tank after this awesome experience.
If you're looking for Birmingham stag party activities with a military theme and want something more original than paintball, tank driving is the way forward. Sign up and go from rookies to elite tank commanders in one afternoon!
