A few weeks ago we went back to the Berakah Eco Trail for another outride. Despite the cold, the trip was fantastic, and we managed to capture some amazing winter photos while converting my fiancée's brother and his wife into full-fledged quad bike fans.
This was our third visit to Berakah. You can check out some older quad adventure photos here.
