We have started our trip at around 11; 30 am from Sweihan towards al khatim crossing nicely shape dunes; the drive was a bit speedy because of the fact that all the drivers are in advanced level and their rides are well equipped.
During our fun drive we faced big dunes and lovely bowels, but the one which I will never forget, is the one what I call now (the big hole) which a steep side walled bowel, it was really fun to revolve and spin down to the bottom, but once we reach lowest point of it we couldn’t figure out the way back to civilization, by the way I think some guys are still there straggling to find their way out.
In general the trip was good; although the temperature was hi little but I guess we had a lot of fun.
Thanks guys for joining the fun drive and see soon.

Thank you so much Batal for the very nice trip especially the second part after lunch break. The temparature was a killer to me, I couldn't even continue the break without A/C.... :veryhot:
That was the season close down to me, no more full day trips for me. I will be considering the early morning half day and evening drives only till Nov.......
Back to the topic, , the dunes were medium sized with very soft spots and some tricky places, following our Marshal Batal was surely fun with lots of side sloping and fun. All drivers were experienced enough to follow with no single stuck....... Well only one cresting when exiting the "big hole" hehehehehe
Another great AD4x4 trip with lots of fun and very nice people
Where are the pics guys?????

Man, it was amazing trip , so much fun, side slopping, big dunes, speed driving, you name it, that trip was me, side slopping explains my complicated personality
The weather was hot, but the fun was cooling it, thanks Batal, and I can not wait until next advanced trip.
Man i agree about the big hole thing it was the main story of the trip
