After every trip, it's a must to post a report!
This was a special trip for more than 10 brave absolute newbies, and more newbies around... 35 cars left the overpacked ADNOC petrol station, for the longest road convoy i lead so far (honey, don't look back, i think we are followed...)
We reach the deflation point, took care to remove the air out of the tires where not needed (the bottom part) and gave the ANIT briefing. But everybody was impatient to hit the sand, so after splitting the convoy in 2, we went for the ANIT drive...
Slowly but surely, we headed torward the dunes. It's always very hard to find a track for ANIT, as you need to adapt to the "newbiest"... but not stay on a catch road. So easy it was... at the beginning for all to test and taste their car in the sand... few small downhills, to feel the excitation... and from very easy, we went to easy... a few stucks that my marshal brothers handled, until i miss the easiest road and went the "not as easy" one... Then the real fun started, with a few more stucks (for demonstration purpose) which kept us busy untill the sundown, when all were out on the shabkha, and reach the party.
Thanks for all our guests who came for the first time, i hope you enjoyed, and you were not to scare.
Thanks to all the marshals who helped during the trip, and get half the convoy out an easiest way.
thanks to the Back Ups who came after my desperate call to give a hand!
and see you soon, for something more spicy...

Thanks Xof, as you say not easy doing an ANIT route up there but I think everyone enjoyed the trip and learned some valuable new skills and how their cars can perform, now they can all enjoy Newbie trips and gain some more experience, I enjoyed meeting all of new members and seeing some old faces as well.

Re: ANIT Party report
Thanks to all the guys for a great trip. Sorry about the stuck so close to the end. Great help from xof, iguana, mac to get the jeep out the stuck. After cooling the clutch down does not smell so bad and been to Dubai and back and seems okay. Man said he will look into it this week if I can drop it off.
Awesome BBQ and made lots of new acquaintances. ( thanks also to the Marshall in the discovery who followed us out to party point. Even got to do a couple of easy dunes on way to main road in dark which was nice experience.
Can't wait for next trip.

Focus on the future, that's where your life is going. Focus on the past and you will go nowhere.
