David Williams: Learn how to make a splash when off-road

I visited Land Rover’s 5,000-acre off-road proving ground at Eastnor Castle earlier this year — and was impressed by how its Discovery Sport tackled deep water, ruts and steep obstacles.

It seemed that the vehicle did most of the work itself.

But — as Tom Sheppard reveals in his updated book Four-by-Four Driving — there’s actually a whole world to learn about off-road driving, and knowing the right way to do it can make all the difference.

In this informative paperback, Sheppard says modern 4X4s carry a wealth of technology that makes them very able vehicles indeed, especially if you know how to use it properly.
