    Thanks for the ride and the help along the way. My guests were impressed by the organisation, the attitude from everyone and really enjoyed the morning out. They are experienced off roaders in Europe in mud, forests and hills but recognised the difficulties and the differences yesterdays drive brought them. Thanks. Simon
