What an amazing day in the desert

We all met on time in ADNOC Khatim where we met Issa group and had a quick chat with some old friends. I was happy to see the white JK arriving exactly on time THANK YOU SCOTCHYL AND NAUTIBEAN

. We moved to deflation point exactly on time in a big convoy of 10 Cars 5 Toyota and 5 Jeeps  all kind of cars from the short wheels YJ and TJ up to the V8 Land Cruiser.
After deflation and the briefing we start the drive in the small dunes, technical spots soft sand in some areas but everyone was doing very good.
A pop out and few stuck all handled under the supervision of the leader and the sweeper
In the end we manage to reach Sweihan exactly on time to catch up with Jumaa prayer

Hi Grizzly,
Thanks for leading a very enjoyable trip. Good variety, and opportunity to practice some new skills, and I appreciate the advice and encouragement offered along the way.
Rocked with the desert in the morning, then rocked with Metallica in the evening .... Perfect Friday. Now off to get my shocks fixed!
Thanks to everyone, cheers, Nigel

Shared the link on FB. Two hobbies clash though - photography or sand dune bashing.
