DOC Returns Night drive Trip report

Post by Doc »

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

It was nice night drive, Thanks Doc, as you said the king of stucks was Vikram, I think it is about 4-5 stucks (sorry vikram), but it was a nice drive.

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 :lol: :lol:

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. :wink: Also big thanks to GMAN for the company and i kept him busy in catching every thing flying in the car, especially the GPS...

I say lot of you guys missed this wonderful trip.. :oops:
