DXB-INT Mahafiz to 2nd Dec

Post by Gabor »

The drivers arrived in time (more or less) :D , we had 5 intermediate drivers supported with @Sinan and me.
The plan was, we do a long drive (estimated more than 40 km) on different terrains increasing the speed and practice the proper distancing.
The first part was a little bit bumpy due to the plantation, but we did several sraight crests with mid and big drops, side sloping on different levels, crossing narrow pockets then reached the Fossil rock area where realized how huge area fenced. :o
Faced to al Faya, found a very fast and curving track, really enjoyed. Crossing the main road, continued to 2nd of Dec, for me this part was the most challenging, the dunes are medium sizes but very short, almost technical, but performed with much less second attempt than I expected before. We observed the sunset from here.
At that point the guys choosed the second option, toward to Badayer shop. The Pink rock was full with people as usual, I made a bigger circle to avoid meeting with others, it was already dark and some of our drivers didn't practiced night drive before.
Finally reached the shops, no technical issue, no popout, only several second try and self recovery, and two rope assisted recovery.
I can say only, all of them did their job very well, even I didn't feel this is a job, that was a joyride. :)
Thanks all of you!

Almost forget, the distance was 65 km on sand. :D :D :D

What can I say. Amazing, Awesome, Brilliant. Once again the joy of off road driving was show to its full on the session.

Gabor lead us on a fantastic drive, which ended up being around 65 km. Longest drive I have done. We ended up the run driving in the night, something I have never done so that's another tick in the "To Do" boxes....... and another expense... I need some lights fitted :lol:

The drive included almost everything, technical dunes, some big bowls, some fast paced sweeping dunes and, as I said night driving.

We saw some camels, people riding horses and an amazing sunset. The guys were all amazing company and we had a great time.

Gabor, once again sir, you made the day amazing, I know you say its all off us together that make the day but the route you chose and the instructions you gave us through the technical aspects was fantastic.

Let me know when your next drive is and I'll be there :D

Thanks for the perfect get back to the desert drive Gabor and Sinan. After a month of serving the in laws, it was just the break I needed. Hope my wife never reads this. :roll:

Through the bumps and twists, to begin with. Gabor made sure we had a good track overall. With Sinan sweeping at the back we knew we were well covered. :) Just the right confidence builder.

We picked up the pace till sunset and kept good distance. This group had decent experience and some good Tea which really helped the pace.

Once darkness set it was my candle light headlamps that reminded me of dinner.(Got to get some nice burners for night drives). Yet Gabors choice of track and his bright tail lights made it easy to follow. Thanks for the support Sinan and Gabor and for the recovery.

65 Kms on twisting sands has definitely been my longest so far. Look forward to more
