Off Road Tour

We strapped up for a promising 4 Wheel Off Road Tour last Sunday. Frankly, it was our first such experience and the kids were more excited than the Mister & me. 



Organised by Terra Tigers, a measly group of few adrenaline road junkies assembled for the first session of the day even as the sun threatened to be scorching than ever before.



Ably kickstarted by Mr.Arun, with  a few questions that were supposed to be the ice breakers, we were then grouped in to cars that were 4 wheel rides and the ones that
 were not. 


The next 2 hours was a thoroughly exhilarating experience as we under the thoroughly skilled and professional expertise of Arun & Co navigated our way over side slopes, steep climbs, gravelly tracks, muddy pits, obstacle maneuvering and sharp descents.



Hubby took to the off road course like a fish to water and I am sure he pushed himself to limits hitherto unexplored and gained immense confidence charting varying terrains.


Our Ford Eco SPort not being a 4 by 4 drive could not handle a few manoeuvres like the slushy terrain for instance but for the most part of the experience, it was enriching.



The session wound up with hubby and a few others taking over the reins of a jeep to get a grip of the 4 wheel drives, the accompanying nuances and promises for more such adventures !

A Sunday well spent !
