- Can I drive the truck? No.
- Can I get time on my own? Yes, if you want to. Most people find opportunities to go for a walk, or find some quiet time to themselves if they need to get away from the group for an hour or so.
- What if the truck breaks down? The leaders are mechanics trained to fix most problems. Extensive spares are always carried.
- Will I have to help with the cooking? Yes. Even on trips with a cook you will be expected to help out in small groups. Even people with no cooking experience manage to put together some great meals. Besides, food always tastes better outdoors.
