The
Glendearg Safari: Short course, over moderate - hard terrain (
to variable)
Duration:
Approximately
2-4
hours
The program starts with an introduction to the Vehicles,
then intense training on the safe use of a Trail Blazer over moderate terrain.
After a short break (refreshments/lunch can be provided
by Active Sports, at extra cost, to suit your requirements) we head off south
across the Glendearg “Plains” on our way to the rolling hills
overlooking the Border town of Galashiels.
As your journey progresses, more demands are placed on
your newly found skills as the terrain becomes more challenging.
Although not as technically difficult as the A.T.V.
Safari it still requires caution and respect as some of the terrain is in
fact steep and rutted. The typical Borders scenery is very rewarding.
As we continue our safari in a northerly direction we find ourselves level
with the summits of most of the surrounding hills, 1100 feet; stop for a moment
and enjoy!
Our descent to the Allan Water takes in the “Watering
Hole”, a natural quarry with a very uninviting, murky pool ready to devour the
unwary. Catch your breath, because if conditions permit, we make our way to the
“Gun Barrel” – shoot down one side, and shoot up the other! Then head
back to base camp where, on arrival, we can look forward to a
Glendearg Sizzlin’ Piggy – not included, prices on enquiry - or a swim/sauna
and buffet at our activity center at Whitmuir Hall - again not included, prices
on enquiry. WHAT AN OUTSTANDING DAY!
It’s a short day (approximately 2 - 4 hours) and no
other company in the country offers such an adventure! Although some
of the terrain is steep and dangerous it is relatively safe for those
trained in the safe and proper handling of a Trail Blazer
The beauty of the Glendearg Safari is that we can
tailor it to suit most groups’ budgets, abilities and their available time.
