"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" seemed to be Land Rover's design philosophy when approaching the Series II Discovery. Owners BMW knew that the Disco's boxy looks were well received amongst buyers looking for a no-nonsense 4x4 of the 'proper' variety, but a number of other aspects were, if not broken, then could best be described as no-longer box fresh.

Kendrew Barracks, formerly known as RAF Cottesmore, has a rich history dating back to 1938 when it first became an operational Royal Air Force base. Its expansive runway played a significant role in aviation history, hosting the final flight of the iconic Harrier Jump Jet. Between 1943 and 1945, it also served as a base for the United States Air Force.
The was named in honour of Major General Sir Douglas Kendrew, a former pupil at Uppingham School who served in the Royal Leicestershire Regiment. Major General Kendrew was one of only 11 officers in the Army to be awarded the Distinguished Service Order, known as the DSO, four times. The order is awarded for highly successful command and leadership during active operations.
Following its formal closing ceremony in 2012, Kendrew Barracks transitioned to its current role as a satellite facility for RAF Wittering, located in Peterborough. Today, it is home to the British Army’s East of England Multi-Role Brigade.
With it’s very long runway Kendrew Barracks is one of our most coveted venues to drive in the UK.

2 reviews for Land Rover Defender Off Road Experience (30Min)
Rated 5 out of 5
Phil N –
Excellent experience in this Defender! Richard, the instructor, ensured we did all three routes through very deep gulleys and mud baths. The deepest water came into the footwells and no matter what we did with the car, it simply did not stop.
I was excited about this driving experience, and had high expectations, but it was even better than I had hoped. The experience was certainly improved by the recent downpours ?
