Quad biking is fast, furious and totally addictive.
I went off-road on one of these powerful, grunty beasts with Gavin and Drew Christie of Auchterhouse Country Sports in the wilds of Angus.
It was an exhilarating trek which took us through stubble fields, into ditches, along woodland tracks and up and over a series of challenging hillocks requiring a degree of commitment and bravery.
Geared up in an ill-fitting boiler suit, I was looking far from glamorous, but at least I was afforded some protection from being splattered by mud, cowpats or worse.
I very nearly lost an eye when a tree branch appeared out of nowhere but that aside, it was a huge buzz.
