TRIP REPORT - Newbie Surf the Dunes with me!! Convoy2

Post by PHARAOH »

All met at Sweihan Wedding Hall where they had the ANIT briefing, then headed to the deflation point. Due to the huge number of registered members for this trip, it was decided to split the trip to two convoys, FidoDido leading convoy 1 while I’m leading convoy2.

Convoy 2 as follows:

*****PHARAOH (Lead)
**Delimiter (2nd Lead)
*Mutaztahrawi
Beto17
e_badawi
*Melo vaca
Elmrad
mamlouk911
*cabf
leschevallier
***Matador (Official Sweeper)
*****karam aljanabi (Support Marshal)

After a small briefing and setting the convoy, we started cruising between the Sweihan dunes, weather was amazing (although a little bit windy). 30 mins in the dunes, Elmrad passenger was feeling dizzy (as we were few meters off the gatsh road) Elmrad & mamlouk911 decided not to continue the trip and will stay at that location. Then we continued our cruise into Sweihan huge dunes as everyone was comfortable handling there vehicles. On our way, we met convoy 1 we had a short break and took some pictures together, and then continued our cruise. The area was packed with loads of off-roaders from other clubs & locals so I decided not to go to Nugrah. We headed back to our BBQ point at around 6 pm.

We had couple of second tries and stucks that was recovered by Matador (Thank You). Thanks Delimiter for a solid second lead changing the track whenever requested.
All the drivers did great, thanks for joining the trip. Hope you enjoyed your time.
Thank Marshal Karam for looking after the convoy and taking some amazing pictures & videos.

@Elmrad, hope your passenger is okay. On future trips, just give her a motion sickness pile 1 hour before the drive.

See you all soon on the dunes :ad4x4:
