Thank you Saeed for such a great trip and good company despite the fact that I did 90% of the trip with very bad stomach cramps dont know wether it was something I ate or what I still enjoyed it, sorry I coudlnt stay for BBQ.

This was the first time Joy had been in the Jeep and on a difficult route she really enjoyed it.

Will see you all when I return from the UK ISA

Since Joyce just got back I guess your stomach wasnt used to home made cooking

McDonalds, Pizza Hut and Burger King misses you.

Thanx off-road to organize the trip, I manage to get back from Dammam almost on time to get to home change & get the coffeee ready catch up with the guys in alYahar ADNOC, my group was Triplod/guests UltraMind/friend Squirrel/friend Omar-kid77/Ahmad PPnath/guest at the beginning we almost took the same route but I decide to GO left & catch up with the Big dunes, side-sloping cresting soft sand Bushes we manage all to get to the crest of highest dunes there then crossing the Sabkha around the camel race to the next set of dunes joining both groups in the BBQ site, couple of stops to drink & chat & admire the scenes, one Popcorn tyre with PPnath fixed in no time 3 stucks only was good achievements from every one, Squirrel the new tyres perform good which make a big difference, we hand one sandsick due to the rough route, it was good to see some old friends there

Thanks Off-Road for organixing and leading such a nice trip, one of my fav routes. It was pleasure to recap sand driving following you after being three weeks away from the sand.

Nice seeing you all guys again and look forward to more trips.
