Hallo to everybody,

yes if you life in Abu Dhabi and you join a trip in Dubai, it means getting up at 2.45 am leaving the house at 3.15, rushing to the Dragon Mart to be in time, like some of the others also did. :roll:
Heading out for the Big Red deflate and got the rol as a sweeper, which changed somtimes into leader when we try to catch up with the group. The landscape was realy amazing we drove from sand trough bushes to the rocks, had a few stucks a double pop out, 5 l of water and we came out of the desert at 2.30 pm. After filling up my Navi said, you will be back how after 170 km. So when I got home finely I spent 14 hours in my car,( exept of the time I attaced the snatch strap to other cars) It was a very tiering trip, but also very nice and very exciting.
Thanks Cherif for the lead, and special thanks to Sean and Waqar for the support. And of course to all the other members of the trip.

Hope to see you soon


Regards

Wolle

Was a nice trip - really amazing landscape there.
Seems to be a good place for camping as well ... :)

I had 3 pop-outs on that day - so now i'll buy a bigger compressor ...

My GPS said (for the whole day) :

Time : 10h 30m pure driving (moving)
Distance : 530km
Highest elevation was around 300m (fossil rock)

Was a nice trip. And the area leaves a lot of place for more playing ...

Thankyou cherif for the invite to Dubai, it was nice to meet your Dubai gang and to catch up with Sean and Jayne.

Getting up in the morning was difficult but i reached the meeting point surprisingly quickly.

Big Red was not soo big and had lots of scars to show, but was good to finally see the Dubai sands,

All the newbies did great following the pajero with a V8.

We found a mosque in the middle of the desert which was nice to catch Friday prayers and everyone patiently waited while Nader and I offered our prayers at the mosque (respect to all).

approaching the end the heat started getting to everyone so before we dug our selves too deep we headed to the road and Cherif said....Waqar we are in Sharjah....WHAT!!!!

Anyway i enjoyed the long drive and will try to make to Dubai more often.

maltejk....looking forward to the engine swap...you are a sand addict..
Nader....great job driving, i could see you improve throughout the trip
Scott...hope you had fun and drive in 4Hi now ;)
Alex...thanks for the radio! you handled the FJ impressively.
Sean...hummer MANIA!!! video coming soon
Jayne...always welcome as a passenger but looking forward to Jayne in a JEEP (hears Sean in the background NOOOO!!!!)
wolle...great driving and assist in sweeping!

see you all soon.

Hi everyone - this is my first post........ I am the driver in the silver pajero and the 6 year old daughter (Tamara) who always joins me. I accompanied the group to fossil rock but Wagmaster forgot to include me as one of the drivers - thanks.

Great club and as Sherif can see, I have now registered - see you on the next trip. :) Adrian.
