Autumn is undoubtedly in the air, but that\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing, because this time of year provides the perfect conditions for quad biking. So with the promise of even more mud to play in we decided it was the ideal time for yet another off-road adventure. This time it was Tom our Partner Relations Executive<\/strong> who took up the challenge, and he visited Quad Biking Tadcaster<\/a> to explore the wild woodland that surrounds Hazlewood castle. Here\u2019s how the action unfolded..<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving never tried quad biking before I decided to go for the 45 minute Quad Adventure, which gives you a bit more time on the quad bikes, as well as the chance to take on some pretty exciting off-road obstacles.<\/p>\n

When we arrived at the quad centre we couldn\u2019t wait to get out on the course, and after checking-in at reception and signing a disclaimer we got straight down to action. Even though I\u2019ve never done anything like quad biking before I picked up the basics really quickly, and because the quads were automatic they were fairly easy to control. Our instructor Rick explained everything really clearly too, and each time we reached an obstacle or steep incline\/decline he made sure we knew the best way to tackle it.<\/p>\n

The course itself was amazing, and there was plenty of mud to churn up as we wound our way through the woodland. There was a good mix of skills-based obstacles and fast straights too, which meant we could really push the quad bikes to the limit. The best obstacle we tackled though was the \u201climbo bar\u201d, which not only tests your skill on the quad bike but your flexibility too. After our instructor had fixed a bar between two trees, we had the daunting task of passing underneath it without knocking it off \u2013 which as you can imagine isn\u2019t easy! As the bar got lower and lower scraping through safely became even trickier, but we somehow managed to conquer the entire limbo obstacle without knocking the bar off once.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t expect the woodland trek to be quite as extensive as it was, and the time absolutely flew by. The whole experience was even better than I expected and I\u2019d definitely recommend going for the 45 minute session. Hazlewood castle is the perfect setting for a quad biking experience, and we even saw a couple of deer running through the trees, which made our experience even more memorable.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d just like to thank the entire team at Quad Biking Tadcaster<\/a> for a brilliant day, with a special mention for Rick our instructor who was very friendly, and patient with us from the off.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
