Are you bored with taking a walk in the park on a Saturday afternoon? Does fishing not rock your boat? Have you had enough of hanging around sale rails in the same old high street shops? If so, you may well need an excitement injection delivered to your weekend. If you have a job where you spend most of your working week sitting in a dusty office and listening to upset customers on the end of the telephone, it is understandable that you want to make the most of your weekend, or any spare time for that matter. Planning each day off as it comes can often end up with doing the same old boring thing week after week. It's time to pick up the gauntlet and challenge yourself to find something more exciting to do with your time.
I have always liked the idea of going on a dirt day out. Driving around the countryside in a 4X4, mastering an obstacle course and trying to stay alive whilst screaming for all my life is worth. The trouble with these days is that they are pretty much one-off red letter days that cost a month's wages and leave you craving more. Well, I think I have found a solution, all it requires is a little bit of sweet talk to convince a couple of friends that they want to put a bit of spark back in to their life and finding a farmer that wants to earn money than the government subsidise his land for. Yes folks, I'm talking regular off road 4X4 rallying days.
Living on the edge of town, and of life itself it sometimes feels, I am close enough to the countryside to get a bit of the latest gossip that has been trickling my way. There is talk of a farmer opening up his land to the public to allow them to bring their vehicles and brave the course he has set up. He is apparently charging as little as twenty five pounds per day per vehicle, which means that gathering a group can work out as an economical idea. As little as a fiver each and not only do you all get a turn over the course of the day to pit your skills against the course, but also each other. And don't forget the fear inducing fact that you will get to be passengers while your companions tears it around the course, causing you all to feel like you are on a ride at Alton Towers.
The best vehicle for the job is definitely a sport diesel 4X4. This diesel beast is big enough to fit all contenders in comfortably, and has a solidity that will give you a feeling of being safe and secure even when you're going headlong into a fifteen foot ditch with a hill gradient of twenty five per cent. This mechanical beast has a nifty little feature that allows the driver to pick an off road terrain setting and the clever electronic and engine work beautifully together to make sure that your driving doesn't get you stuck in a rut, unlike the day job! It can cope with mud and deep water, sand, gravel, and rough terrain whether it's snow ice or rocks. Perfect. So, get your mates to club in to hire or lease a super duper off road wonder and take it to the farm to blow away the cobwebs and inject a bit of life into your bloodstream. It certainly beats getting out the scalextric on a Saturday afternoon.
