First a big thank you to all members who showed up today for making this trip happen, specially for members who came the all way from Abu Dhabi. :thankyou:
Second another big thank you for all other Marshals Jo , Urs, Halwa for helping me in this trip success :thankyou:
6 cars arrived at the meeting point in Abu Dhabi to make an on time departure heading direct to meet the other 7 cars from Dubai at the deflation point .
A short briefing is given to all drivers and for the first timers Urs helped me in giving them his nice detailed introduction to the off roading secrets and to AD4x4 (Thank you brother).
We decided to start with an easy route as announced and everybody did very well.
Some of the members started practicing stuck

It was very hot :veryhot: , sand was very soft and dunes was very sharp so it was difficult to take the beginners gang to a playing area were experienced members can play and have fun, but we tried to make the route little challenging from time to time :hit: .
Around 35 KM off road with continuous :driving: driving /stucking/laughing/chatting … until we ended the trip by reaching the Fossil Rock having a :drink: break , moving to the petrol station to fill our tires with air using our compressors because the petrol station air pomp was not working
