Talk about how it allows you to challenge yourself as well driving on the different terrains like at avalanche as you go up against the lads there and can do better than some of them and the social side as Ian has said how its not only the driving but the getting together of like minded people :D

Mention that while some folk frown upon those of us in 4x4's, they are not slow at appreciating 4x4 Response volunteers who have honed their skills while travelling off-road.

Consider mentioning the utility services whose employees have to be able to access inhospitable terrain to maintain services, especially electricity boards.

Beyond "off roading" we have expeditions either group by organised projects or the growing number exploration/holiday ventures elsewhere in the world.
