BBQ in Sweihan – Trip Report

Post by Uristier »

All Abu Dhabi members (showing up) made it on time to the meeting point and we left to meet our Dubai friend in Sweihan. A short greeting and off we went to the deflation point.

Two cars could not make it all the way to the deflation point but decided to d&r* before. :oops:

Some newbies (including truck drivers (ML 320) were to gain some good experience and exercised recovery & self recovery.

While waiting for some recoveries, Cybershot’s toy box (pardon jeep) decided to have a front axle universal joint broken and this was the end of his trip. Hope you manage to get your car back soon Tobi and warranty will cover the repair. Thanks Yehia for accompanying Cybershot to the gate.

Meanwhile we continued slowly but steady towards the bbq place still exercising stucks and recoveries.

We reached the bbq place around 6pm and our bbq master got into action. But what would be our bbq master without Lady Power behind all? The REAL stuff for the bbq comes from LADY POWER. Who can say “No” to the BEST burgers in the Middle East? :thankyou: :love:

I enjoyed a delicious dinner, a refreshing shisha and a nice chat with new and “old” faces.

The short night drive brought us back to civilisation – sound and safe.

Everybody did very well. :bravo: A special thank to Yehia and Wasabi as Sweeper and to Cybershot and Lady Power for the second lead while Whateq took care in the middle.

For today I say Adios and see you soon back in the dunes :woo:

*d&r = deflate & recover :wink:

Amazing trip, perfect weekend time spent:)

Nice drive;) amazing sand for the night drive... a bit of humidity made it pefect!

The weather was fabelous! Enjoyed every bit of the trip... (just highway to Dubai is a bit boring)

Hope Pajero is fine... heard it got some gear-box troubles?



Urs, thanks for everything! ;) :ad4x4:



P.S. Brain not working - cant type more :mrgreen:
