Fun in Sweihan - Report
All met on time at the Sweihan Gas Station. Rob, The Kraken recognised some oil spill underneath his car and it turned out that the bolt in his front differential was missing. In order not to take any risk, he decided to return back home. Hope all is ok and you will be out next week with AD4x4 again.
After deflation and briefing, the new Logbook was introduced and sold to interested members. Some already had the logbook, which shows, how active our members are participating in our trips.
The overall interest and acceptance of the logbook is great and it was a new experience to give feed back on the spot and sign for the participation.
We took it easy from the beginning but at a good pace on our long way to Al Khatim. As i felt the group was confident, and actually was asking for more, we increased the pace and put some spices here and there. Some slopes, some easy side crests and lots of driving on small crests. Some technical climbs and crossings kept the attention at a high level. It was good watching the confidence rising and everybody performed really good. The team worked good together and communication was maintained throughout the trip. We had minimal stucks and all were recovered easily from the team. Dave had to leave a bit earlier towards Al Khazna (I hope you made it in time) as the rest continued towards al Khatim, that we reached for inflation just before sunset. Very well done everybody, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Thanks Frank for your watchful eye and Wolle for clean sweeping. Nice catching up with Bulldozer, somewhere in nowhere - as usual.

Re: Fun in Sweihan - Report
Many many thanks Juergen.
And also thanks to Frank and all other friends in the trip.
We had a lot of fun and we have been safe.
Very happy having done a bit of second driving and having used the winch (money very well spent).
Thanks again and see you all very soon.
