点评:I had simply the best morning at Turnberry Adventures in May for my birthday and felt compelled to record my first trip advisor review in a few years as a result.
My wife had booked the 4X4 off road driving for us both to enjoy and upon arrival we were greeted warmly by Andrew, who has recently taken delivery of an INEOS Grenadier, and shown around the vehicle. What andrew doesn’t know about the history of landrover defenders and the grenadier itself isn’t worth knowing - it was interesting and enjoyable listening to him explain his take on the Grenadier and its capabilities.
We were taken on a short drive around the 4x4 course, which included mini hills, water features, rocks/boulders, embankments, steep climbs and lots and lots of wet grass and mud. As we were goin round Andrew explained what he was doing (and therefore what we would need to do) and why. He took away most of tue anxiety I had prior to having my turn.
Andrew patiently reassured and led me round my “lap”, and gave me confidence to give it “more gas!” When required - I had so much fun driving this vehicle and happily made it round without stalling / crashing / getting stuck. I had sore face muscles as I spent the entire hour grinning from ear to ear. My wife was up next and did even better than me - no surprise really she is a great driver - and managed to hit the 20 degrees mark on the embankment corner, I was holding on for life!!
After our turns were over Andrew took us on to the old airstrip and we got to see how fast the three ton grenadier can go… amazing - thank you so much Andrew!
We were then introduced Jamie, who leads the Flying School and Falconry experiences at Turnberry - what a job this man has, working with some of the most magnificent birds of prey in the world. We were introduced to falcons, hawks, owls and a pair of Golden Eagles. We were very fortunate to experience Bono the owl having his exercise for the day with us, flying between our gloved hands before getting his reward of chicken pieces. We were nervous but Jamie put us completely at ease throughout.
Jamie was an absolute gentleman, and his calm and thorough explanations on all the birds, their weight management, handling and descriptions of the birds personalities was an absolute joy to listen to. We learned so much and really appreciated the time he took with us and his birds.
What a fantastic day, we will remember for a long, long time and I’ll finish by saying I would thoroughly recommend Turnberry Adventures, their professional and welcoming staff and the activities we experienced were absolutely first class. Thank you! We will be back!
翻译:5 月份,我在 Turnberry Adventures 度过了最美好的一天,作为生日礼物,我感到有必要记录下几年来的第一篇旅行顾问评论。
我的妻子为我们预订了四轮驱动越野车,我们一到就受到了安德鲁的热情欢迎,他最近刚刚收到一辆 INEOS Grenadier,并带我们参观了这辆车。安德鲁不知道路虎卫士的历史和 Grenadier 本身,这不值得一听——听他解释他对 Grenadier 及其性能的看法很有趣也很愉快。
我们在四轮驱动越野车赛道上进行了短暂的驾驶,包括小山丘、水景、岩石/巨石、路堤、陡峭的山坡和大量湿草和泥土。在我们绕圈行驶时,安德鲁解释了他在做什么(以及我们需要做什么)以及原因。他消除了我轮到我之前的大部分焦虑。
安德鲁耐心地安慰我,带我绕着我的“大腿”转了一圈,给了我信心,让我“加把油!”当需要的时候——我开这辆车玩得很开心,很开心地绕了一圈,没有熄火/撞车/卡住。我脸部肌肉酸痛,因为整个小时我都笑得合不拢嘴。我的妻子紧随其后,她比我做得更好——毫不奇怪,她真的是一个很棒的司机——她设法在路堤拐角处达到了 20 度的标记,我坚持了一生!!
轮到我们之后,安德鲁带我们去了旧飞机跑道,我们得以看到这架三吨重的掷弹兵能飞多快……太神奇了——非常感谢安德鲁!
然后我们被介绍给杰米,他是特恩贝里飞行学校和猎鹰体验的负责人——这个人的工作真是太棒了,与世界上一些最壮观的猛禽一起工作。我们被介绍给猎鹰、鹰、猫头鹰和一对金雕。我们非常幸运地看到猫头鹰 Bono 与我们一起锻炼,它在我们戴着手套的双手之间飞翔,最后得到了鸡肉块作为奖励。我们很紧张,但 Jamie 一直让我们完全放松。
Jamie 是一位绝对的绅士,他冷静而透彻地解释了所有的鸟类、它们的体重管理、处理和鸟类性格的描述,听他讲解是一种绝对的享受。我们学到了很多东西,非常感谢他花时间陪伴我们和他的鸟儿。
多么美好的一天,我们会记住很长很长时间,最后我要说,我会强烈推荐 Turnberry Adventures,他们的员工专业热情,我们体验的活动绝对是一流的。谢谢!我们会再来的!
