No Worries! I have already set the trail up with two intro sections that will help to build your confidence and give me the time to teach you what to do and when, then IF you feel confident we will try the next more intense sections, and I am a guide who pays attention to the abilities of the guys on the ride and if we need a change of course then we take one, remember we are all out to have a good time with our Hummers! BTW, the video of the trail shows one total rookie, in the yellow H2, first time in the H2 off-road, EVER!!! And yes he was freaked out when he saw some of the stuff we where going to go over but once he saw me traverse the obstacle with relative ease he proceeded to do the same listening carefully to my instructions. He had an awesome day with only one major stuck that had him highcentered on a rock in mud valley(Yes, I said MUD VALLEY...You'll see!!!), took a little while to get him out but hey that's all part of the day! Make sure you have a FRS/GMRS radio, it makes communication on the trail way easier. I know you will have a great time and will be totally amazed at both what your H2 can do and especially what you can do as a driver!! And you'll probably be running out and buying your very own set of Toyos at the end of the day once you see how good they work in everything!!!

One thing you should consider for trails in Quebec...body clading! You know those oversize fridge magnets to protect your paint. While most of the trails are wide and spacious we have some forest sections that get quite close and may induce some Deep Woods pinstriping, so to protect your paint either apply a healthy coat of mud(my personal choice) or consider some magnets. Also since I lead and I don't like the pinstriping either I normally get out the Axe/Saw and cut what needs to be cut to allow safe passage. But then again my H2 is White so scratches really don't show!!!

I will meet you in the hotel parking for 7:30am and then you can listen to my sweet sounding Gibson exhaust all the way to Saint Sauveur so that we can meet the rest of the guys at the Tim Horton's.
BTW, are you good with rocks, mud, mud in rocks and rocks in mud and deep water?<img src='
