Area 53 - Short, Dynamic midday

Post by Serge »

Well, when you Mess with Microsoft... they can force you to do it :D

We was suppose to meet @ 12 PM on Dragon Mart gas station, but few was late (apologizing on the female side sabotage)

Any way, we moved from the gas station at 12:50 and moved to Lahbab, there we refilled, got some wood and moved to Area 53 Entrance.

Short briefing, deflation, and move in!

Start was tough - due to very soft sand. Some nice stuck in first 500m. With some long recoveries due to bowls.

Then we kept going quite smooth trough small dunes, getting closer to bigger dunes, pass near Iftar Bowl, and take direction towards Shweib.

Middle was hard sand, being easy and increase the drive speed, as instead of making a loop i decided to get from point A to point B :)
Then get into other big dunes, getting a bit more technical, scary :twisted: later small soft spots, i guess the hardest part, few crests and we got to BBQ spot, having lovely 2 big trees, and sunset.

Fast drive of few cars searching for exit track. And enjoyable BBQ followed by smooth Cigars and hot tea near camp fire.

Way back at dark, with remonstration of pop out (guess who) ... but it was fixed very fast, and we all got out of sand safe and in one piece!


Clare and Renat - both did great being second lead shearing the job on 50/50 during trip.
Then Renat ans Gringo both shared sweeping job and did it good! :mrgreen:

Thanks to Said ( Bulldozer )for assistance :twisted:



See you all for Camping in mountains in few weeks! :mrgreen:
