Trip report Sweihan NB Night Drive 21 December

Post by tompa-bjorka »

Lead: tompa-bjorka
Support marshal: loefflmj1
Support Intermediates: paolowinwar, magdyzahran
Newbies: Lebybjj, Koona, rajeshas74, afsal001

We met up at 18:30 PM. A couple of no-shows, without telling they were not coming, so 10 min late we started anyway with a thorough night drive briefing, as it was the first night drive for a couple of the drivers. Convoy set up with paolowinwar as 2nd lead, and Magdy as sweeper. We started from the BBQ point, went through a bit technical areas, then moved to the bigger dunes and headed towards Nagra. All doing well. Getting close to Nagra, you know you are there from all the trash that is thrown everywhere, very sad to see, so instead of staying in Nagra for a break, turned around and headed towards Gate 12 exit. Now increasing the level and pace a bit. We have a few challenges and a couple of recoveries needed but in general all went well and drivers did well as well :D . Reached the inflation point at around 21:30 pm, 36 km driven.

Wildlife spotted: Camels, lizards.

See you soon in the sand.
