Report: Sweihan for Newbies & Intermediates/31st July

[Jax]

Thanks to all for turning up to day and making it another special day in the dunes with AD4x4 :okaay:
We all met and left AD on time meeting Taher enroute and arriving at the Sweihan Adnoc for a quick olllllllo refuel and to meet Paul who drove through a sandstorm in Al Ain to come out to meet us.
We then made our way to the usual deflation point, quick pre-trip briefing and off to hit 'Jax Trax' through the higher dunes above the sabkha.
A few stucks and some good self-recoveries - Big 'thanks' to Yehia & Mood for being my super-sweepers and recovery trucks today!
Yehia, Maddog and Omar_Kid77 - well done you guys for taking up the fun to have a go at supervised leading and thanks Taher for 2nd leading for me and helping out with the inters lead instruction.
We had a quick play around the back of the dune before heading to the 'BBQ-Tree' for a relaxed chat with coffee and sandwiches (thanks Iguana) - we were even fortunate to feel a few rain-drops as we started packing to follow Khaiwi out of the dunes.

I hope you all enjoyed today as much as I did and thanks again to Iguana (looking forward to seeing Ziad in his own truck soon!), Khaiwi & Kat, Taher, Kalemero & Cool_ati2ud (nice H2!), Maddog & Dad (hope he enjoyed it!), Omar_Kid77, Paul & friend, Olejl, OmarJawa & friend, Mood & Yehia --- not forgetting my passengers Joy & my lil chief navigator for keeping me awake with songs and games on the way home.
Pics are uploaded in the gallery - but for some strange reason they are in last to first order!

Thanks Jax and everybody that made 'Jax Trax' another great day out.
Nice route, its amazing how a slighty different path to the same destination completely changes the tone of events :okaay:
Thanks Jax for the opportunity to take point for while, it was a great opportunity and certainly adds another dimension.
You impressed by me and Dads nav skills Sukilala? I mean just turn the GPS unit upside down and then suddenly everything makes sense eh!! Anyway, it was much appreciated.
Thanks for the sandwiches Iguana - bit too sandy to fire up the BBQ so good move!
Yehia - well done !!!
Omarjawa - you did really well, good job.
cheers everybody.

maddog out.
