Angel Pilot are a company situated in the Algarve. They sell top of the range motor boats, motorbikes, jet skies, quad bikes and more.

Ben is Angel Pilots official quad bike instructor and guide.

We met Ben in March 2008 and after a couple of hours with him on quad bikes hired through Angel Pilot we were hooked.

We introduced at least 30 people to quad biking during our holiday to Portugal in March this year. Most of them returned for a second session.. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and want to return during our holiday to Portugal in 2010.

Ben is such a nice guy and has so much patience for everyone, he takes really good care and makes sure we are all safe and enjoying ourselves.

After a brief safety talk you are shown the correct way of operating your bike. A practice session on the track and away you go, to places most people only see from a distance.

The photographs say it all.

So many people were amazed at the sights to be seen and how easy (as long as you are careful and respect your bike), it is to ride a quad bike.

Many of our friends said they would like to visit Portugal, stay in the Almansor hotel and ride a quad bike for a couple of full days, enjoying a typical Portuguese meal where no tourists visit.

We came up with the idea of a weeks holiday staying in the Almansor bed and breakfast, intensive quad biking and the the option of jet ski-ing.

We are in the process of arranging this holiday so watch this space!

Don't forget to view the slide show to see just what a fantastic time we had. Look carefully and you will see most of the artists who joined us this year
