The day starts with an introduction to the All Terrain Vehicles, then intense training on the safe use of an A.T.V. over rough terrain (the Genesis Tracks). After a free light lunch we load the A.T.V.s on to our transporter and head for open country. 

On arriving at the middle of nowhere (Gilmanscleuch Farm) we then start our drive up and over the Ettrick Valley hills, climbing up to a height over 1600 feet! (No roads, just rough wild country, what a buzz!) We then drop down into the Yarrow Valley stopping at a local farm/hotel for free refreshments. After a recharge we scale the summits, negotiate the ridges, then traverse down into the Ettrick Valley to our starting point at Gilmanscleuch Farm, load up and return to base at Whitmuir Hall, where a swim/sauna and buffet can await you. WHAT A GREAT DAY! 

It’s a full day, (approximately 8 hours) and no other company in the country offers such an adventure! Although the terrain can be steep and dangerous it is relatively safe for those trained in the safe and proper handling of an A.T.V. We always have 2 instructors with each group, with a recovery support vehicle on 24 hour standby.
