    That was a perfect relaxing Dinner Night….thanks Tiger for the awesome lead in the dark night at a place where we have driven numerous number of times in the day time….but the experience is absolutely different when it comes to night…..

    The best part we took many dunes and reached behind the pink rock with ease….Thanks for Mrs.Robinson for the chicken and Kumar for the burgers…..we had a camp fire and enjoyed sitting there for nearly 2 hours chatting and enjoying the cool climate under the stars….we were also lucky to get a glimpse of the broken star….

    then we packed everything and drove towards tawi shops by 12….inflated and drove back home getting excited for the Sweihan Express Drive…..

    Thanks Kumar, Rob & mrs. Rob for the great company and its defentely a night to remember…

    Cheers

    Thank you Rob and Ganesh for joining this drive and for making the night drive plan happen! :thanks: ๐Ÿ™‚ :ymhug:
    Thanks Ganesh for the report and proof… ๐Ÿ™‚ :ymhug:

    As the drive title conveys, I was planning for a very easy drive to Pink Rock via newbie track. Since the drive plan was announced very late, I think it was not an option to our members may be due to other commitments ๐Ÿ™ But having you two talents in the convoy changed the whole drive dimension. I had to change the original plan of an easy route with dune driving to make sure the night you spend for this drive is worth enough ๐Ÿ˜‰ Night driving is a different game and you guys executed it with perfection :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: Nice momentum, no hiccups, perfect communication and not even a single bad/wrong attempt ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

    We enjoyed the night chillness at camp fire with the backdrop of awesome night view at the top of Pink Rock :ymblushing: Thanks Mrs.Rob for the great company and food :thanks: We could feel the gradual increase of cold in the strong breeze and finally decided to pack up on seeing thick fog falling in quickly.

    Thank you all once again for taking part in this drive and for the excellent performance :ymapplause: Indeed it is a memorable night and will cherish for a long time. Look forward to have many more such variety fun ๐Ÿ˜€
