Dubai Newbie Pink Rock Report

Post by Sean »

All turned up on time at meeting place, we then convoyed to the deflation point, after deflation we headed in to the dunes, starting with a nice big hill climb :D ......some repeated a few times then all got up and over the top, to get a first good view of the area.....then we headed towards pink rock with all doing very well, a couple of spots we had second attempts as people settled into the rhythm..another big dune a few more stucks, then found a Kia buried in the sand up to its axle...seemed someone went alone to the sand and had to walk home....we then spent some time up/down/up/down in the small dunes......Stopped for break under a nice tree and caught our breaths and cooled down, as did the cars......then we headed to Pink rock for look out agian and some picts if Jeeps on rocks etc.....By now about 11:15 so headed back, about 11:30 the heat and sun caught up to us, few more stuck, mencahical problems and over heating.... so found easy track back...

Dr Soto, great second lead well done,, Marwarn thanks for sweeping, good work. Cherif as always thank you and great to be in the sand watching the pajero go where it really shouldnt be able to :lol:

Thank you Sean and erveybody. It was a pleasant trip, mixing sand & rocks !

Also, it is good to have a trip close to home - so no need to wake up too early ;)
Pink rock is a good place and the dunes were very nice. My friend Pawel did really like it for his first visit to the desert.

Special thank you to Sherif who had to help for 2 consecutive stucks, at the end; when the heat was becoming really serious.

Hope to see you all soon
