JAMES' QUAD BIKES BIRTHDAY TREAT

It was a lovely March winters day in 2006 when I headed down to Hellingly near Eastbourne in Sussex to see the quad biking.  The sun was shining brightly and it was warm basking in the glow, but frost lingered in the shadows as a reminder that winter was still with us.

Amazon ATV run two tracks near Hellingly, so be sure to get the right one.  We waited at the wrong track near the Boship roundabout (A22) for a few minutes before getting suspicious that there was no activity and telephoned to ask where everybody was.  In fact there is another splendid track just a couple of miles away off Cinderford Lane.  

 

This track is tucked behind some lovely woodland has it all.  The area is a large field divided into several tracks and separated by tyres.  As you get the hang of it you may progress to the more demanding circuits, with jumps and ditches of varying heights and depths.  Be prepared to get muddy if you turn up after it's been raining.  In fact, be prepared to get muddy full stop.

 

Lucky James was about to get a fantastic treat, being that he was a quad bike fan and it was his birthday.  His folks knew he'd been dying for a quad bike ride over a real track ever since he sampled the four wheel delights at a small oval track at a country fayre the year before.  

 

Our group threaded its way along the rough track through the wood in two cars, one a Citroen, the other a Jeep Cherokee. This bit was quite fun for the occupants of the Jeep.

 

After a few minutes donning protective clothing, you will be allowed to venture out onto the track.  Once there you will be instructed as to the controls and taken round the beginners circuit by a very helpful instructor.  When the kind lady instructors think you are ready, they will cut you loose.
