One more feather to the crown of Dubai Offroaders :-BD – 38 registrations for a single drive with all the possible stars and Ranking personnels :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause:
Wowww… what a fantastic afternoon to see…. Thank you all for making this event so special….. There were three segments of this event….
1. A thrilling afternoon drive….
2. Delicious Barbeque
3. A camping night to be remembered…..Loved to see everyone on time at the meeting point…….I had to reach there early to seperate the convoys as listed to save time….
It was an awesome scene to see all the TFT & CMT members except our dear winchman Rob…..Thank you guys to be available to support such a massive crowd….. :ymhug: :ymhug: :ymhug:
We started off the event with congratulating our two members of the week – David Gula and Amin by presenting them the DO mug as a token of appreciation by our Chairman and the founder of DO – Mr. Ahmed Parvez….
The breifing of the convoys were put on to the respective Lead and Sweep Marshals…..Out of the total 38 registrations, Matthews couldnt turnup due to illness, Sridhar and Wasi had some guests at their place…Also Sami was not seen….But nevertheless, 34 cars to launch in the silky soft dunes of Badayer area was a treat on its own….
Convoy 1 lead by Mr. Ahmad Parvez and sweep work done by Ashok…
Convoy 2 lead by Mr. Saif Khan and he had the best of Marshals for sweep – Gkumar and Khalil…
Convoy 3 lead by Mr. Thanseer and the sweep were myself and Amjed….Thanseer decided that we will march our convoy from Badayer and so we all lined up and started for a thrilling drive…..
The convoy was Jason, Iqsaan, Kashif, Baher, Gabriel, Denis and Himanshu…. The start itself was enough for everyone to have a feeling of how the drive is going to be….. “Up above the world so high…like a diamond in the sky” 😀 😀 😀 ….. The first track to reach the top of the dune one by one…..Leadership and experience always provides you something different….and thats what Thanseer provided the whole convoy…… Everyone was driving so beautifully that the lead was continously increasing the level bit by bit…. Jason must have had the day of his life following Thanseer as the second lead….catch me if you can :)) :)) :))
Iqsaan was very watchful and careful and did a fantastic job….. Kashif had his brother Atif taking the charge of the steering and was dancing around the dunes perfectly….
Baher was good with his short wheel Prado and was continously following the advice from the sweep marshals 😉 …Well done Baher…
Denis in his Jeep Cherokee with his shot gun Essa was good at all times except the same old fear of his own car’s performance….. The car got heated up once while fighting against climbing a tall dune, but was fine after that throughout the drive…..With the same car he got enough confidence to reach on top of Iftar bowl…….Great Job Denis
Gabriel and Himanshu proved their experience in this sport and were too good at the tail of the convoy…..
Jason had got stuck in a funny manner and was easily rescued and at one time I was inside a nice short bowl and came out of it with 3 attempts easily….
Once everyone reached on top of Iftar bowl, I had to stay back down to click a nice picture and then we left for our final destination The Ghost Town….. :ymdevil: :ymdevil: :ymdevil:
Thanseer had an entirely different route to reach Ghost Town….. and since he selected this route he was soon attacked by the Ghost and got sunk at one place….. :ymdevil:
When we reached our destination, we saw Saif team with Kumar and Khalil there already…. David Gula had some issues with his car in Mr. parvez’s convoy and had to reach the road ……We missed you David…. After some time Mr. Ahmad came with his convoy to the spot and immediately the bonfire and the BBQ equipments were set up for some very delicious stuff to taste…… Special thanks to Sanjay Matthews for all his efforts to prepare the BBQ marination but couldnt join us…. 🙁
There was one set of people who had to leave as soon as the drive finished…so Ashok took the charge of guiding them to the road…..
Everyone at the BBQ sopt were enjoying their time chit chatting and sharing their experiences of today’s drive….
Around 8.30 – 9, Kumar, Ashok and some more members left the place……and then Mr.Ahmed, Thanseer, Saif and the last set of people who were not camping also went back…..
So, the third phase of the drive – Overnite Camping…. Myself, Gabriel, Hongbin and Max stayed back and we had a very nice time talking to each other about their country, investment opportunities, property prices and so on….. At 12.15 am we decided to call off and go to sleep….Gabriel put up his tent while all the others slept in their cars….
Now the strange thing of the Ghost Town……around 2.30 am we started hearing some strange sounds of an animal crying 😕 …. and it was actually scary 😮 😮 😮 ….but nothing was seen…..and the night was finished somehow 😀 …..We woke up around 6am and myself and Hongbin started clearing the area, collected the garbage and I had to fill my petrol tank so threw the garbage bags in the bin at the petrol station…
Once everything was packed, exactly by 7.15am, as promised to our campers we left for our morning drive to Badayer….
We attacked all the tall dunes possible, visited Super Bowl and drove for an hour and more around the area and then touched badayer shops for inflating the tyres and then left back home….
Overall a fantastic day of offroading and the reason for the success of such a grand event was because of all our lovely DO members……
Thank you all for participating for the drive…. :ymhug: We all loved your company and I hope you all too enjoyed the same…. 🙂
See you all for yet another exciting event coming up soon….. and see you all breaking today’s record in numbers….
Cheers
