Tina and I spent yesterday under the careful tutelage of Keith from Off Road Wales Ltd. (http://www.offroad-wales.com/slideshow.asp)
For Tina and I, our first love is walking in the wilderness, preferably camping wild thrown into the mix. I have always felt that the 4x4 experience was not for me and also treated that fraternity with some scepticism re their green credentials.
The day we spent in the Brecons at the wheel of a Range Rover has opened my eyes to a whole new area of outdoor adventure. Perhaps the most amazing part is the level of environmental care that Keith pursues. He will only traverse established roads [as per Ordnance Survey definition] and seeks to minimise the impact his vehicles have on the road by skillfull, low-speed, negotiation of same. He is also involved in joint plans with the National Park to participate in periodic road maintenance.
The driving is exhilirating: seemingly impossible drops, boulder strewn tracks, ditches filled with mud and water to the sill level of the vehicles. You have to look at the slide show on the link above to get an idea!
It was a great day out and I cannot recommend it enough!
