Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2021 1:57 pm
Another lovely day with such amazing people. 35 members registered for this trip, all met at Sweihan AD4x4 BBQ point.
With the support of my fellow Marshals trip was split into 3 convoys led by my self, Tony007 & Irfpk.
Following is the trip report from my convoy, Irfpk & Tony007 will prepare trip reports for convoys 2 & 3 respectively.
Convoy consisted of 11 vehicles as follows:
*****PHARAOH (Lead Marshal)
Supporting Marshal:
******Iguana
*****K-Alhosani (Official Sweeper)
Newbies:

We started by safety briefing conducted by myself & Marshal Adiga (Thank You Adiga), then setting the convoy. With all vehicles deflated & ready for the fun, we hit the sand at 3:00 PM cruising within the lovely dunes in Sweihan. We started off in technical area with small & tight dunes so everyone can get a grip of their vehicles, since all drivers were confident & handling their vehicles nicely we went into a wider area with bigger dunes.
During the trip we practiced crossing a lot of straight crests, we had 3 stuck that were recovered safely & couple of second tries. We drove total of 26 km, we had 3 breaks in between for coffee, chitchat & feedback. Trip ended around 6:00 pm at BBQ spot where we met other convoys from AD4x4 trips in the area. We all sat together for chitchat & BBQ as one big family. Some members had other commitments so they decided to leave after signing off their logbooks.
Thank you all for joining the trip hope you enjoyed your day as much as I did.
Special thanks for Iguana (AD4x4 Chairman) & K-Alhosani for supporting & looking after the convoy, and Irfpk & Tony007 for volunteering to lead the other two convoys.
See you soon on the dunes
