A good night was had by all,
started at 7pm by all meeting at ADNOC,left Adnoc around 7.15, straight to Mussafah play ground, deflated had a quick marshal briefing then into the dark, nice easy start gradually steeping up the pace, first to get stuck was Halwa inside a very difficult & tight bowl, Kalemero took an alternative path and also got stuck, from there on it became vikramd night with several stucks (sorry lost count, I think 3) the drive was fast paced with a good variety of off road experience, last to get stuck was myself (sorry Mac!) I’m still getting used to having to change gear myself, from there to the finish was a frantic paced last 1km through easy dunes back to the deflation point.
The weather was warm but very sticky from humidity, every one left with a big smile and safe with no damage.
All in all a great night with great people.
Thanks

Oh yes we had great fun following the Wrangler; especially the sharp turns Doc was taking made it very challenging for atleast me to avoid the pop outs.. thanks to the LC which lived upto the expectation. Also big thanks to GMAN for the company and i kept him busy in catching every thing flying in the car, especially the GPS...Mac wrote:Sounds like you guys are having fun in the sand. The only sand I am on is my local beach, it is beautiful but bloody freezing even in July 8O
You obviously had a good run last night because you are following a Wrangler
I say lot of you guys missed this wonderful trip..
