The night lovers met in time at the agreed location and after safety and trip briefing went into the dunes to warm up and get used to the terrain.
As everybody felt comfortable the pace was slightly increased and we meandered through the dunes towards the East. The terrain offered many side-cresting opportunities on small and midsize dunes.
At 20:15 h we stopped for an half hour break sharing mint and karak tea (thanks James) and enjoyed bathing in moonlight. Temperature was very pleasant!
This time we turned around after the break and went back to the starting point at Al Faya road. Checking out a lot of crests along the way. We reached the exit at 22:01 h.
All drivers did very well. Apart from a few second tries and I believe 2 recoveries which the sweeper skillfully managed nothing could stop us.
Thanks Michael and Jean for your valuable support and company, James for second leading and Dan for solid sweeping.
Thanks all for joining and supporting and see you soon again in the sand.
