I so wish to live those moments again.. What a wicked time.. !!! Loved every second of it.. Dint know nothing about Quad Biking before i actually stepped in there n did it. Everyone at the University told me to go & try this for our International Student’s Week at the Glamorgan. We had a few sports free to try & this was the most popular with all old students.. & well all I did was take their advice… Well worth it.. 

I had a early session booked in with my friends.. 3-5 in the evening. We were picked up in a mini bus & ferried to the “TAFF VALLEY QUAD BIKE & ACTIVITY CENTRE” just about 15mins drive from the uni. We were about 10-12 of us. This place was top of a hill bang opposite our Uni… We could see our uni from that end.. The overall sight was just WWWhhhoooaaa… Check out the pics below.. A completely green farm on the slopes of a hill… although flattish.. Sheep all around.. on Lush green grass.. & the next moment you know you are on there in between the sheep but rearing on the huge bike..

We 1st got dressed in the mud suits.. This was the worst part of it all. The suits are stinking dirty.. Mud, sweat & rain moisture.. all mixed up on our dear suits.. We were also given boots & gloves & a helmet too.. {Man it was tough to fit it on my head.. } After a quick brief on how to ride the monster Yamaha quad bikes we were put on bigger ones or the smaller ones depeding on our heights. The damn things are pretty easy to ride but difficult to control because of their awsome weight.

Well the 1st push off was the scariest. It just sped off with a slight touch on the pedal while it was just on the 1st gear. I wondered what it would be like on the 5th. We were split into 2 groups & escorted by 2 youngsters incharge on their bikes into a practice area. After about 10mins in this area going around at different speeds & in different formations to get used to hadling the bikes… we were then led into the fields… Right into the slopes among the sheep into the fields.. We were taked at different levels & at different speeds & then even on different circuits.. 1st it was just the green grass.. then it was rocky terrain & then we drove further up the hill to the heightest point. The sight just kept getting better n better & also our comfort level with th bike.. after about 30mins on the bke, I was pulling it up on the 5th gear with a lot of push on the pedal… going faster n stronger with all of it.. Crazy fun.!!!

After a quick 10min stop to rest the engines we got on to it again on a different area & this time we had rain to accompany us.. I was cold n shivering but the excitement level was too high to notice anything else. We finally came back to the base area after almost covering the whole damn hill on our 4 wheels… But just to sad to get off those deisel guzlers… After a change from our further messed up suits.. got back into the normal clothing & hopped back on to our mini bus back to the uni.. Got off the bus & it was decided there & then … “We are going back again soon..”… {Just waiting for th cold to warm up a lil.. } This is one adventure sport which is well worth every penny they charge.. Simply amazing… Recommendation:- if u ever get a chance to Quad bike.. do not miss it.. especially if you are in Wales.. where else on this earth will you get terrain like this..

Cheers to that !!!

Sporting can be fun… So I heard.. But dint know it could be soo much fun… I’m still sore from when I last played Cricket back in 1998….lol… guess that says it all about how sporty i am.. But that’s not it.. It doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy sports.. I LOVE THEM.. but i’m pretty limited in my sporting choices.. I consider working out & weight lifting as sports.. playing pool & snooker .. n badminton are my other popular choices.. But when i got here, I got to try loads of new stuff… sports that were only in my word dictionary as part of my general knowledge.

The 1st main sport i tried was Archery at the Universities sports center. No.. don’t worry… i just dint walk in & try it out.. It was under proper supervision with full training. I registered for it & then we were called for a 1.5 hour session with professional archery teachers… After good amount of health & safety talk, we finally got to touch the bow & arrow. Man that stuff is light & very stylish just to have.. I want to have one.. just to have one.. but i wouldn’t be able to keep myself from firing shots at just about anyone or anything.. {u don’t wanna be around when i actually get one.. } after getting to know how to hold the bow, we figured how to load up the arrow. Getting the right grip & holding it correctly is something that matters the most in this. After you master that, the next most important thing obviously is to get your aim right.. All i can say about that is.. [not boasting..] i got all of them on target .. you see it’s in our blood.. I’m an Indian.. Ramayan & Mahabharata times have passed.. but those genes have been passed on to every Indian.. atleast in my case.. haha.. I did get to the outer circles at times .. but you’ll know why when you actually do it.. The moment you release the sling, it hurts your finger tips real bad… pretty painful after a few shots… other than that.. its all good.. really love it.. we even increased the distance from the target in the last 15 minutes to add more excitement.. n it did work for that as well.. A definite recommend for some blood rushing action..

The next day morning, I was booked for a mountain biking session. I had no idea how i would go about it as I’ve not even sat at the back of a 2 wheeler in years… forget riding one.. n that too up n down a hill.. I was expecting the venue to be somewhere close by. Crazy heavy rain made me think twice if i really wanted to do this but i decided to go anyway. It was well worth it!! 8 of us were put in a mini bus & drove for about an hour to an adventure sports complex up in the hills. The drive was beautiful. Something that anyone would look forward to in his 1st week in a new country. After we reached the activity center.. we were greeted by our trainer for the day… it was 9 in the morning.. We had a chit chat session along with some coffee & juice while we waited for the rain to go down. But it had no intensions of subsiding so we decided to go ahead with it anyway.. After a change we got down to the bike’s room to select our rides… What bikes man..!! Loved them.. double gears.. broad wheels & very sturdy.. After that the tough time started.. I had to get on them.. But as they say.. one can never forger to ride a bicycle .. that worked for it… { but after falling a couple of times..lol..} We put on mud suits n helmets & set out on the road to the top of the hill… This was the worst ride… going up took the life out of me.. man i’m getting old.. need to work on my stamina.. We all went up doing regular stops at check points… riding through all the deep muck on the way by slippery moss rocks … the rain is terrible thing to have during mountain biking.

We finally got to the top & as you would imagine.. the view up there was breathtaking… Phenomenal.. could see the whole valley from up there..very beautiful n that’s when the sun showed up too.. so it was all good… But just for a few minutes.. after a small halt we moved on our way down in the rain again.. As much as I thought this would be fun.. it was more challenging than going up… We actually rode the bike on waterfalls.. could not see the ground… just rolling over water n stones.. by butt was sore for the next few weeks with all the bouncing.. It was crazy… but definitely worth all the experience.. My cycle went out of control a number of times & i even fell a couple of times.. but all in the name of sport.. dint actually bleed so it’s cool.. dint hurt myself that bad.. It was painful at times but it reminded me of the excitement & pleasure with that pain.. what a combo!!!

A definite recommend to get some blood rushing action.. it’s all good… remember to do it in crazy Welch rain for added excitement.. lol..

Coming up next.. a trip to the famous Big Pit coal mine & the most fabulous sport action.. ‘Quad biking’ in the fields..
Keep it tuned..!!
