Martin: Guide/ farm owner 


After having bought Ty Rhiw Farm in 1999 (the now home of 4x4 Driving School) Martin was looking for a diverse use for the 40 acres of former oak woodland and the surrounding woodland. After arranging to rent the site to the Glamorgan Off Road Club to hold a 4X4 Trial Comp the future was set for numerous 4X4 and motorbike clubs to use this great site for competitions and individuals to practice their off road driving skills. 

 

Dai:- Guide

Dai has been part of the team since the early stages, his calm and collected attitude works great with nervous customers. He is a great Guide and loves to reassure. You'll rarely see him without "Lenny" his white boxer.. but it's hard to tell who loves the mud more! If your stuck in the mud.. there's no one better to talk you out! 


Dai- Mechanic/Guide 

Dai's been using the farm for years, Marshalling and competing in off road events and is always bringing a new toy that he's build from scratch up to play in! He Became the school lead mechanic to help Del maintain the fleet. By Day he works for a Bus company and his work is regularly checked by DSA (previously VOSA) he's what we like to call the Diesel Doctor!! The 4x4 school are proud to support Dai this year, as his race team, Dirty Derv Racing are currently winning class 4 in the AWDC Britpart Safari Championship!! â€‹â€‹
