“Engels van de personen van de activiteit was niet heel goed. Instructies toen we aankwamen waren er niet en dat in z’n geheel voelde erg rommelig. Onze tour guide was zeer aardige man en begeleide ons als groep echt super fijn. Ik had mij opgegeven voor de ATV Tour en dat betekend bij hun dat je op je Quad motor mee rijdt met de Buggy’s. Ik had geluk te kunnen switchen naar een Buggy. En maar goed ook. Het terrein waarover je rijdt is echt voor zeeeeer ervaren ATV rijders. Het is een en al stenen en zeer ruig terrein. Heb je last van je rug, dan moet je dit…”
