ATV and Archery at Bilut Extreme Park @ Bentong

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!
Me on an ATV
Yes conquering the Earth was not enough and I ended up being a warrior too! Archery was waiting as soon as I got off my ATV and it is all in Bilut Extreme Park at Bentong.
Me with the bow and arrow
Bilut Extreme Park is located at Felda Lurah Bilut, 18km away from Bentong town and approximately 11/2 hours drive from Petaling Jaya. This place is founded by a team of adventurous people who love nature and challenge in 2013.

A rocking awesome weekend!

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.
Marshal Nazri giving briefing
Be clear that an ATV is NOT a motorcycle. Always remember to keep your feet inside and do not use them to balance or touch the ground. And motorcyclists who think they can tame the ATV like their two-wheelers at home should come and try it first!

I am glad that there are only 3 gears that govern this machine- Front, Neutral and Reverse. Easy!
There are only 3 gears- front, neutral and reverse
For first timers, here are a few things you should bring when going for an ATV adventure:

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.
Remember to bring gloves
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.
The basic track among palm trees
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.

Archery
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.

Isabelle giving briefing of how to be the archery should be played
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.
Aiming at the boss...oops I mean bulls eye
