Camping trip to Liwa 2-4th of December ‘2009.
We will be doing some out of way, extremely challenging terrain.
Please note that this will be an advanced/ severe trip & hence will be by invitation only.We will depart from Dubai on Wednesday the 2nd of December morning & will be back in Dubai only by late evening on Friday the 4th of December.
This will be a long drive & very demanding both from the driver’s as well as the vehicle’s perspective, please make sure that your vehicle is properly maintained & the complete recovery kit is available.
We will have to be self sufficient on food/ water/ supplies front.
Each vehicle would need to carry an ice box to hold food, water etc.
The convoy will detour through a service station every evening, prior to camping, to re-fuel & replenish the supplies.Please register your names on the forum,
you will receive a confirmation call/ SMS on the meeting point & timing.OKAY GUYS…LET’S GO OUT & HAVE SOME FUN.

Please do not forget the mendatory recovery and support gear (as listed above in this thread) and ample amount of food, drinks and other provisions. Please note that we may not come out for refuel in the evening. the first refueling stop may therefore be in teh afternoon of day 2.
Please do keep some firewood also in your car
It seems that this trip is shaping up nicely and ALAS! I am not there.
Well will try to be there before the season closes and will try to join you guys for one long LIWA trip the least.
It sounds to be a full three days trip what else one could wish for????
Guys prepare yourself with enough supplies and warm beddings too.
A small suggestion to the trip organizers please keep the trip as much off road as possible.
Depute at least two vehicles to carry more then enough wood.
Others shall share their luggage as it makes the comvoy more organised.
I hope that some of you would remember that we used to have one vehicle carrying the big ice box with the drinks and water,one other vehicle carrying all the cooked foood and one or two vehicles would carry all the wood this way things are more organized and stream lined as its a long trip so please every participating member shall volunteer for certain responsibilities.
HEY HAVE A GREAT TRIP!!!!
