The Friday mornings were kind of boring before we met our friends in AD4x4, but now at least for me, it is the day that I cannot wait for to come in order to spend it or part of it with my other family such as the great people who woke up today to join the trip so early in the morning coming from all over the UAE.

Everybody was just on time at Sweihan petrol station before the departure which enabled us to start as scheduled except Nautibean who couldn't make it (hope you are feeling better) so we missed our profetional photographer on the trip, however she send her other half Scotchyl to do her part in the support team

. The convoy of 15 off-road vehicles moved to the deflation point next to gate 14 where we deflated our tires, raised our flages & gathered for the briefing which was started by Marshal Scorpio who greatly explained the new Log Book to the participants then completed by me, set the convoy positions then let the fun begin. Unfortunately IDO had to leave us early due to a mechanical problem with his car

(hope it is not that serious).

We headed east crossing the small dunes with some tichnical areas heading to power line without any stuck although the majority of the vehicles were LWB ones

. After a small break we hit some big dunes to feel the heat of the engines then cool then down with down steeps, nevertheless Akhateeb's Infinity decided not to cool down & take her time in cooling right before we reached Ali Cafe gaf tree were we set all together to eat some donuts & drink some tea (thanks Abed). Right after the break we moved to the play ground for some playing before we head back to our exit point. We had one pop-out & couple of stucks during the trip. All the intermediate did well in the trip & went out happily to gate 14 where we gathered again around the Marshals to get our log books signed by them.

Last but not least I would like to thank our marshals Scorpio (2nd lead), Desert-Hawk & Zeer for their support, also big thanks to the rest of the supporting team Grizzly (sweeper), Scotchyl & Abed. Also thanks a lot to all the participants who joined the trip: Kastrato, Dutt, Berho Desert, Akhateeb, Desert Storm, Abdul Qader, Amjad & Hamour80 it was my pleasure seeing you all.

It was really amazing to meet all this number of our family in the petrol station after the trip.

Hope you all have a great week ahead, until next time, take care & be well.

Our track

Thanks a lot Scorpio & Abu Ghazi, this was an amazing trip by all means, started quite fast & nice, lovely track which was perfect to shape & sharpen our intermediate skills, then Abu Ghazi decided to give the engines some real work to do on the higher range of the RPM

... Awesome

The lady "infinity" decided that she needs a break..!

looks the hunt journey for the overheat issue will continue @_@

Thanks a lot Scorpio for arranging this great trip, & for keeping a watching & caring eye on all the members.

Thanks a lot Desert Hawk for your relentless help, support, & guidance all over the trip(s)

, it was really a pleasure to meet you

Dear Abu Ghazi, this was a great lead, a perfect track for the level, amazing scenes of the medium & high dunes! It was a pleasure to follow your Pathy!

Not many Pathy's in the club, but your Pathy has a driver who will ensure its legacy continues in the club:)

Thanks for all the lovely members for the great company, it was well worth the early wake up

I forgot to thank you Abu Ghazi for the delicious donuts, although I don't like it generally, but donuts in the desert from Abu Ghazi has a different taste

Abu Ghazi, thank you for a great trip. very good track and offered everything for everyone.

Enjoyed my time floating around and watching from nearby, very enjoyable day.

Well done for everyone especially in those trickier softer areas, excellent work with such ease.

Special thanks to Scorpio for running through the log book and covering the questions that I am sure we all had waiting.

Look forward to the next adventure.

(Thank you Abu Ghazi for the Do'nuts - this may be your signature for every trip

)
