John's Advance Sweihan

Post by CANTALOUBE »

My last trip this year before returning to France on Wednesday night.
I decided to do a gentle advance trip to get the most out of the trip.
The team was made up of :

John ***** leader
Arthur *** second leader
Surya***
Adam***
Gerahrd **** sweeper
ROB**** big sweeper
Tim ****
Marshal Michael
Marshal Osama
Guest Marshal Suhaib

Everyone arrived on time and the weather was pleasant. It was an opportunity for Tim to try out his new 4 Runner, Rob his Patrol and Suhaib his Lexus.

After a few quick instructions, we set off for the big bowls. I wanted a quiet ride for my last one, so I did an intermediate with some ridge crossings. The sand was very soft, and I managed to Stuck myself once on a ridge, the last one!

The trip went very well, everyone drove very well, no Pop out today, just a flat tyre.

Thanks to Arthur and Gerhard for the second lead and the sweep.
Thanks to the Marshals for coming to support and have fun at the back, Michael, Osama, Suhaib.
Thanks to Tim, Rob, Adam and Surya for coming.

I had a great time in good company, thank you all for coming.
I'm going to miss you all.
And the desert too
