CWR 15 May09 – Trip Brief
This CWR was actually a CWOR, with Roshan missing-in-action due to his beloved FJC being delivered late at the end of her sojourn at the AFM Resort & Spa.
With three avid members out to get their weekly fix, the drive started out at 0500hrs from the Emarat Petrol Station on Sharjah-Kalba Rd.
The entry point was only a few kilometers up the road from the pump and after a quick deflation, we entered at 0520hrs, just in time to see the sun rise.
The benefits of a small convoy were readily apparent as the drive, lead by Humsafar, was quick and sporty. The only downside was the terrain was littered with bushes, dead wood, abandoned construction, cinder blocks, metal rods, barbed wire (!!)… so there was a great degree of technical driving involved.
Considering that we were all hungry for a little side sloping, Humsafar lead us across some very long slip faces where we were able to side slope to our heart’s content.
Recoveries were quick and efficient, with Humsafar getting stuck twice and Shan cresting once and getting a rear popout while side sloping. Wrangler was there to help pull us out and did a great job bringing up the rear as sweep. The popout was reseated, inflated and the drive resumed within 30min.
Exit was at 0900hrs, after over 3hrs of high adrenaline driving…
Here are some of the photographs taken by my guest, Simran, who used this opportunity to polish his photography skills and gave us some really good action shots.
