26 days before X'Mas ANIT report

[Xof]

So it was a very special day...
- The rain joined us for the first part of the trip,
- My TJ did not start (dead battery, i remembered then that they told me in WM to change it 2 years ago ), so i took Zerzou's Grand Cherokee for a sand ride for the first time V8 engine... yummy! ,
- a lot of first timers and newbies came, ON TIME, despite the bad weather. Impressive
- it was a first for 3 of our marshal's wive (beware : stay away!!! now is it because husbands are never to far away... or because they are dangerous??? )
- first time we saw a perfect rainbow in the desert, just for our break time... breathless
- and the smile of everybody made my day special, to have you all so happy!

now the report:
as said, all came on time except one for an unfortunate reason (hope all will be smooth Nadah). Sweihan petrol station was very crowded! Due to some drops coming from the sky; we had the ANIT briefing in the station to introduce the club to our first timers (you will all have your first star guys, tomorrow morning ) After the Q&A, we moved to the deflation point near the camel farms to release some pressure from the tires and give the last advices. The team was split in two, the first timers with JO as leader and the newbies with Waleed. Thanks a lot to both of you for helping me with this trip. And i will let you give the report of the drive itself as you were leading being first timer myself with the Grand Cherokee, i took the second lead of the ANIT and had fun cruising on the hard dune listening the music of the 4.7l engine... Nonetheless it does not replace the TJ!!! never ever will

We drove until the sun decided it was time to call it a day, some left early, some stayed to enjoy the cold a campfire a chat with friends and the silence of the desert...

definitely: a special day with AD4x4!

thanks to all the marshals / Explorers who joined to help. Your dedication is so great that you do not miss an opportunity to get stuck for demonstration purpose!
Congratulation to our first timers who did very well. Don't take it for granted, the sand i usually softer.
It was very nice to see the old friends and even nicer to meet new friends. hope to see you all very soon in the sand, or around this great country!

thanks again, and Happy 41th anniversary dear UAE!

well, cant explain it more than xof, exactly what AD4x4 all about, one family, i enjoyed every bit of the trip and glad to meet all the old friends and getting to know all the new ones. perfect trip with perfect people and perfect weather.

All ANITs did extremely well!!! A minimum of stucks required quite a number of demonstrations by the accompanying marshals

The cruise through the rainkisseed dunes was crowned by the sighting of a beautiful rainbow at the break site.

Thank you all for this great, wet and cold but unforgettable day out.

I finished my morning trip in Dubai and drove all the way to Swehan and was 100% sure that most of the members will not come but I was really impressed. Once I reached the petrol station , I couldnt find a spot to park my car. Amazing group.

It started heavily raining and becoming colder but this didn’t stop us from enjoying the desert. After the teams split, we waited till ANITs started their trip then we followed.

A mix of drives over small and medium dunes, till we reached the high dunes, then we started surfing between them enjoying the desert beauty and smelling the fresh air. We also noticed the beautiful rainbow.

Minimum stucks and second tries, and all really did very well, Nice Company and great drivers, wish to see all in the sand soon

Thank you Imad and Marwan for your great support as usual

Thanks dear marshals & members for the great time

The desert, the rainbow, & the entire trip was amazing.. But what made it even better is the great bunch of people that we have in this club.. As Xof said during the trip, it is not just about driving.. But it is more about driving & socializing with such wonderful people

Looking eagerly for the next trips )

First Of all i thank XoF and all the other Marshals who gave us some of the best moments of our lives.
My first Experience in the desert trip was awesome.......only because it was with AD4x4 and its Marshals

The whether was also awesome and all was perfect.

At first i was a feeling little nervous thinking , how would the marshals react and would we have a good time or not, but as soon as reached the meeting point and i met Marshal JO, all my nervousness turned into excitement.

After XOF arrived , he welcomed us as a family , and i was overjoyed to see him.

I did not get stuck during the trip, i dont know if it is a good thing or bad thing(being new to the sand), but the rain gave as an added advantage.

All the ANITS were very much like family, we all had a good time.

I understood that the success of AD4x4 club was because of how thing are being organized and the well experienced peoples looking after it, and all the respect goes for the founders of this club.

For Me , i find that the founders and the Marshals as Celebrities.

Thank you very much and hope we will meet again soon(Inshallah)
