Looks awesome - onto the list of to do's it goes

It is a very good 4x4 eco trail, one that you will love to experience.

Booked for end of September. Can't wait - been too long in the city.

Not looking too good at the moment. I'm the only vehicle booked and it appears as if the trail won't go ahead with only 1 vehicle.
