Thanks Mood for organising this trip. It is always a pleasure to join your trips, as there is always someting new to learn. This time I learnt to know the very gentle side of your driving .
All the members did very well in different terrain, as they were given lots of explanations and chances for training. Also rotating the positions gave the chances to see the track and tasks that go together with the position from different point of view.
Well done and keep it up.

Great trip, really enjoyed it.
MooD's seminar on winching was very useful.
Here is a snap of the mother/baby we passed!

All Hail Mood, king of the Dunes in Sweihan.
Wow what a trip, a real unforgettable experience for me.
Mood, thanks for showing me what the FJ is capable of, I guess I need to give it's name more justice.
Juergen, thanks for your patience andd hope to join you and Mood again with improved performance as a result of the the experience gained from this amazing trip
To V, thanks for your guidance and pointers and to all the other members in the trip, a big thank you for cheering me up especially Rami, Marco, Ghass and Frastow.
Just to share with you all, I took Juergens and Frastows advice and stopped over at Sweihan to clean my tyres. Guess what - kilo of sand from each trye at least i reached home safely with a mental note to check my car thoroughly before each trip.
