Day 3

Jamie – We got up at 7:30am dead and it was FREEZING! The guest house owners cooked us some sausage and eggs for breakfast before we headed to Stus’ relatives house again. We had been told that we would be riding the Rhino in the mealie fields which left me and sean thinking “what on earth??”
So we got to their house and Fallon (Stu’s 2nd cousin) rocked up on some off road quad bike (the Rhino), told us to jump in and then drove off in search of the mealie fields.

At first we drove along the roads, but Fallon soon got bored and decided to take to the dirt track by the side of the road that led to the fields. We blitzed around the fields, Stu in the front, me and Sean hanging on in the back, which was awesome.

We got back and scoured a hot off the press release of Autotrader for potential 4x4s. Kelvin helped us look for decent ones and then went on to show us all his ‘toys’ (Land Rovers, Jet skis, boats and his mega trailer with built in drinks bar, sleeping compartment and loads of other stuff.)
On the way out we decided to put my driving skills to the test. Sean and Stu gave me some tips (I made sure to ignore Sean’s motorway advice) and I slowly crept off up the driveway. We went for a few loops of their land before I jumped out and left it to the pros to get us home.

It was time for lunch now, so we headed for Wimpy where we could get a greasy burger and the strawberry milkshake that Stu had been raving about since that fateful morning in Daventry. The milkshake arrived and let me tell you; it was immense! If one thing should be imported to England, it is a Wimpy strawberry milkshake (and no, those crappy Wimpys off the side of motorways in England are not the same!!)

We chilled around for the afternoon and now its time for dinner, so we are off to Fish and Chippa, the local chippy for fish, chips and 1kg of Prawns, highly recommended by Stus’ relatives.
