Gone but not forgotten
A friend of mine is going to Oz in the summer doing a road trip of 3500 miles of which about 500 miles will be on unsealed roads and 4x4 tracks.

He would like some pointers and criticism on driving off road in the relative safety of the uk.
He is not needing full pro training, more than happy with an enthusiastic skilled hobbyist who can teach. He's a good learner, not scared to ask questions or say he doesn't understand and knows that the pleasure in challenging driving is to do it well and with skill rather than with drama and speed.
He is happy to pay whomever for their time and fuel.
He is near Bridgewater, Somerset and it would have to be a weekend thing.

I am happy to offer my limited knowledge but I was thinking there may be someone with more experience that might interested in helping out.

Anyone got any thoughts?

I dont know if your friend has gone to Oz yet but driving there is a whole lot differant to driving over here, from the weather, road conditions times and of coarse the wild life, I am an Aussie and I have driven over every type of road or track that you can think of, If I can help just call.
 
4x4 adventures based in Taunton do driver training/winch training, you will have a lot of fun learning, only just down the road too.
 
If he still needs help I'm happy to co pilot a day on the plains for him.
