It was a great drive with a fantastic line up of drivers/passengers. Asharaf was an excellent lead and provided a fast paced route which was exciting all the way.

The stucks were interesting…..lol. And everyone did their part and contrbuted towards the safe recovery of all vehicles.

It was a great area to drive in and i can’t wait to try the more challenging dunes that were pointed out by Asharaf near the end of the trip.

quote Pbencini:

There were a great number of registrations for the early morning drive, but not as many turn outs. In total 12 cars started the drive in two convoys in the Bab Al shams area to embrace the cooler temperatures. The fewbies drive was lead by Asharaf and the intermediate by Duncan. :drive:
The fewbies drive had Mumtaz as sweep and martin as second lead.
The drive started very well and we quickly found out how soft the sand was! 😀 After a couple of stucks – at the same time – quickly followed by third – for only a short period – clearly a test by the Marshall to show we know what we are doing with the recovery gear 😉 we eventually managed to free all.
After one vehicle having an issue with (I think) transmission fluid overheating we made our way to a “safe exit” location to part our ways.
We picked up the pace, continued the drive through the soft sands with hardly any issues spotting a few gazelles enroute.
We made our way through to the adnoc at Al Faqa to inflate.
It was a great drive with a perfect sized convoy- Thanks very much again to Asharaf and the Dubai offroaders crew :thanks:
Looking forward to the next one 🙂

Great report Philip. :-BD
