Just before we were ready for the sand, the two laties arrived (no speed cameras on the way?) and in a perfect AD4x4 spirit
the 8 wheels were immediately “attacked” by the on-timers. To speed up the deflation process we were cheating a bit and drained the air only from the lower part of the tire. This was acceptable for the laties and in no time we were all ready for the sand.But as soon as we started our way to the sundowner bbq, the cloud gate opened. There was a certain treat that the sundowner bbq could be changed to a “water fall” bbq. But again the AD4x4 spirit could not stop us and we were rewarded by an interesting terrain.
As usual a technical stop here and there and because of the interesting terrain some members would try it twice … sometimes.
Mosalf was taking the fun and even practiced a Pop Out – well done mate
. At least you know where the wheel jack is located and how to use it. And you can still use the broken base plate for cutting sawarma.Regardless of the rain we found Ali’s Ghaf Tree Coffee Shop open and could not resist in having a short coffee break.
On our way to the bbq we met with Eisa’s group and decided to meet for the bbq. In between I heard the announcement of the “Double Marshal Stuck” in Xof’s trip. Looking forward to see the double trouble marshal stuck pics.
We arrived at the bbq place in a good time and Gladi conveyed the coordinates to Eisa’s group. Thanks Gladi – well done.
Later at night Arbab Yehia arrived out of the dark. While still standing on the top of the dune two pedestrians emerged from the dark. Uuuuups a couple was stranded (for two hours) in the dunes and were seeking help from our group. Thanks Khaiwi and Tajkeh for taking care of this issue.
Finally we left the bbq leaving the young Gladiator behind with Eisa’s group. Our way to civilisation was relaxing but challenging. I would imagine that some adrenalin rushed into the bloodstream of Marco’s veins when his front recovery lug broke off during a night recovery exercise. Luckily it was only an exercise but no “real emergency”.
We all reached the “civilisation gate” safe and sound and inflated the lower part of the tires. After a final chat we left for a deserved rest.
Thanks to pumukl and Gladiator for assistance and to all trip members for making this another trip to remembers.
Cheers

I guess Waleed must know every camera from Hatta road to Sweihan..we reach Sweihan unscathed.
