can take layers off. You will need to keep your arms and legs covered,

stout footwear - no sandals or flipflops! We do provide waterproofs, but
you are more than welcome to bring your own along if you prefer.

A: We provide helmets and gloves, which must be worn whenever you are

we only allow the use of our own quad bikes.

90s. 250ES are utility machines with five forward gears operated by electric
