As a swashbuckler, adventure has always been one of my favourite ways of appreciating life. This time, my weekend adventure comes in four wheels- the All Terrain Vehicle! I always wondered if the ATV is truely invincible on all terrains. The feeling of a conqueror, I must try, since the ATV rolls on almost any ground!

ATV
Of course the first thing that sparked the spirit was an ATV displayed at the entrance. We were then greeted by a row of four-wheelers parked neatly ready to be at our service. I chose a white one and wriggled with excitement before the engine was even turned on. |

I am glad that there are only 3 gears that govern this machine- Front, Neutral and Reverse. Easy!
For first timers, here are a few things you should bring when going for an ATV adventure:
So time to get our of your couch or put that turn off that video game! You'll discover more precious experiences once you mount that revving ATM and hitting that bulls eye.

1. Backpack cos a sling bag will not do much good for your balance
2. Water to keep hydrated for continuous fun! You don't have to worry about toilets in nature anyway
3. Sunblock and cap cos it won't be shaded all the way
4. Handphone/ camera to capture all the beautiful sceneries on the way but do find a way to secure it cos you will be in motion most of the time
5. Comfortable and rugged clothes and shoes cos the last thing you want to worry about is whether your expensive clothes are soiled
6. A change of clothes just in case
7. Gloves are provided but you are most welcomed to bring your own sweet-smelling pair. Required to protect your delicate hands from peeling from twisting the handle.
Then we were brought to a small track among the palm trees but this is not the real deal yet. Here is where the Marshall will make sure that all are warmed up till our ears and the sound of the engines are one.
After 15 min, the ATV graduates knuckled down for some extreme fun out in the estate. Rivers, slopes and bumpy roads were defied. This is the only time I enjoyed being off balanced. The more unbalanced, the better! See a long stretch of even road? Ramp up on the accelerator!
Terrains at the palm oil estate are challenging yet beautiful. It is a great way to spend a weekend either in a group or just by yourself.
The excitement continues with bows and arrows at the archery field. Although I am no expert, there is something about archery that gives pleasure and releases tension. The trick is to perhaps imagine the target board to be your bosses head =P Just kidding.
Unlike indoor archery, archery at Bilut will not pamper its players. The field is exposed to nature and its trying circumstances that will only make you pull one arrow after another. Birds, wind and rain will be testing your archery skills while honing them.
