Rik,
I'll second Brian's idea of doing, as an absolute minimum, a Driver Awareness Course through a 4wd club before doing too much offroad driving.
Advanced training courses are
well worth doing after you have done a trip or two and you have some idea of the capability of your vehicle.
As a general comment, inexperience and/or overconfidence are the prime causes of many 4wd incidents.
Despite what all the Ads show, there is always more to learn about driving off road every time you go out to play.
Many on here will tell you that you experience something new every trip.
It is much much more than just jumping into a vehicle and going anywhere you want.
Having said all that, enjoy your experiences and take it easy.
Make sure that you keep the shiny side up.
Disco.
