Sunrise at Fossil Rock 8-08-08 Trip report
Do not now what to say ……….Well it was my first trip with AD4x4 and my 1st tire pup out in the past three and half years in the desert !!!!!.
Nine cars went in …. In one piece, 9 cars came out in one piece without living any souvenirs to the desert .. Thanks God, Meeting was at Eppco dragon Mall 8 cars showed up on time then Toufiq caught the convoy in Al Madam roundabout.
Off to the deflation point at 4:30 am it was still night with a cool weather and some wind after some missing reached the deflation point in front of Big Red at 5:20 am. After a short briefing and deflation we started heading in form Big Red towards Pink Rocks through a moderate track (BTY it was not a newbie track by any means ….. .It was an advanced one but all the gang has done more than perfect)
At 7 we had a short stop for breakfast and celebrating the occasion of 08-08-08 and y 1st trip and Waleed’s birthday ***** Happy birthday Waleed****
After climbing Pink Rock we stopped for some photo’s then we started heading towards Fossil Rock during the way we had a few stucks and a tire pop out (me) ,We became a little bit off the schedule and the weather became hot after crossing around 30 km of sand and reaching Fossil Rock we was off to the tarmac (without climbing fossil rock(( Next will do it) at around 11 every body reached the tarmac safe hope that all has done it to home safely…
Thanks to all of you for abiding with the regulations and for the lovely drive.
A special thanks goes to karkar for helping in the recoveries and to Aidy for sweeping without you guys, we couldn’t make the day
Tarek Nuclear congratulation on your 1st recovery & Toufiq your diving skills are improving very fast (Just push the gas a little bit but not like Nuclear)
Rageh you are a remarkable driver and Montser you now how to control peoples through the Radio he was taking care of the middle.
Mr. Omar we are waiting for the photo’s on the gallery
Waleed Autoscriptor it was a pleasure meeting you after this long time
Finally it was my pleasure to meet you all))))))))) and hope to see you soon again on the desert
Regards,
Mansour

One of the good things about having a desert drive just before dawn is that you will come back home around noon and then you fade out around 3:00 PM or 4:00 PM, then you sleep the remaining *&^% of the day until 6:00 AM next morning. You may open your eyes few times and take few short journeys to you know where to get rid of some liquid load. But other than that a 15 hours sleep will get you in very good shape for work on Sunday.
Thanks Mans for the great track and the best company I have ever had in an off-road trip. Hope I was a good boy that took a good control over his weakness of bashing every crest and slope he sees in the desert.
Karkar... it's always nice to have around. I really mean around and every where I look; no matter where I look there is a 75% opportunity that I will find you there.
Aidy... What can I say... powerful recovery skills. It was a peace of mind having you watching over us.
Montaser... Are you waiting for the next trip? me too man. Really enjoyed your company.
Toufiq... It's not really very useful to know what's being said on the radio. Most of the time I don't understand it either. For me it's very enough to watch the car behind me and keep a good distance from the car ahead of me. Don't tell anybody, but I switched my radio off yesterday most of the time to listen to music.
Tarek... It was remarkable that you have survived the heat without A/C. Go threaten the m&^%er dealership f@#$ers with a bomb or an AK47 and get them fix it. They will with piss in their pants. Just make sure that you are wearing a mask so no one will know you
Rageh.... I like the desert.. and I like it more now when you are among the gang. Make sure that we get together again in the very near future.
Omar... Get these pictures soon man... I cannot wait any longer.
Thanks for everyone for making Sunrise at Fossil Rock a great day out.

OO what a trip
I wanna thank Mans for his first and a remarkable trip. What an experience to drive in the midst of morning day break. The wind and the cold desert was a treet not to have missed. The track was so well planned and the soft sand made it even more of a fun.
Sorry about your pop out mans. Hope your wheels are good to go now.
This morning trip was my first and I am sure to know that I wouldnt miss it for anything next time. Specially if it was planned by people who know the sand.. e.g this trip taught me alot and I thank everyone for being there and making this trip a sheer success.
I could go on and on about this trip but I have to look forward for another planned out by you mans.
Aidy your pro as usual. One more thing I noticed is Karkar's driving skills and what an improvement. You well deserve to be advanced mate. Nuc, waleed, autoscriptor, black fun and everyone else you were too good as company.
Thanks Guys
Toufiq
