Golf buggy hire around Micheldever

Micheldever lies on the chalk between Winchester and Basingstoke, a village of thatch and flint with a church whose Georgian nave sits oddly against its medieval tower. Micheldever Wood, a beech and hazel woodland with Iron Age earthworks in it, lies a couple of miles east and draws very heavy visiting for a few weeks each spring when the bluebells are out.

A short, intense visiting season in a wood with one small car park is a management problem more than an event one. Rangers and forestry staff manage parking, paths and pressure on the ground for a few weeks and then the wood is quiet again. Around it, the chalk downland estates hold shoots, farm events and weddings in barns reached down tracks with parking in fields.

Chalk drains well and the forest rides are firm in a dry spring, which is usually when the pressure comes, though they go greasy after rain and root systems make some tracks unsuitable in any weather. Bluebell ground itself is exactly what should not be driven over. Micheldever is a short run south west from our depot.

Delivery to Micheldever

We deliver to Micheldever from our Bracknell depot, about 40 miles by road. Delivery is priced on that distance and shown as its own line on your quote, separate from the hire, so you can see exactly what each part costs.

We bring the buggies on a trailer, set them up at the venue, show your team how they work, and collect them at the end of the hire. Nobody needs to tow anything or collect anything themselves.

Which buggies suit Micheldever venues

• 

  4 seater

  A 4 seater golf buggy carries a driver and three passengers, usually in two rows. It is a popular choice for weddings, small group transport and general venue use.

• 

  6 seater

  A 6 seater golf buggy carries a driver and five passengers. It is the usual choice once you are moving groups rather than individuals, and it is the smallest size that works properly as a shuttle.

• 

  8 seater

  An 8 seater golf buggy, sometimes called a people mover, carries a driver and seven passengers. It is the largest option we hire and is built for moving guests in numbers on a set route, rather than for general runabout use.

Questions about hire in Micheldever

Can a buggy be used in bluebell woodland

On the made rides and tracks only, and with the owner's agreement. Bluebell ground is damaged by being walked on, let alone driven over, and a season's flowering can be set back by a few wheel lines. Routes stay strictly on the hard going.

Is hiring worthwhile for a few weeks a year

Often, and that is much of the point of hire. A site that needs extra capacity for a six-week bluebell season and nothing after it is far better served by hiring for those weeks than by owning a vehicle for the other forty-six.
