Floating the dunes in Sweihan – Trip Report

Post by Uristier »

The ingredients were just right:
- A small group
- Great people
- Cool weather
- A teaspoon soft
- A tablespoon red hard sand for topping
- X crests and ridges
- A cup bowls

We combined the small group, great people, cool weather at the deflation point and set aside for a while.

To prepare the sand we thoroughly mixed the crests, ridges and bowls for 10 minutes and stirred the soft sand.

Next we spread all into the lovely “Sweihan” desert and baked in moderate temperature for two hours.

Then we stopped for breakfast/chat and spread the red hard sand evenly over the dunes while watching the arrival of desert_hawks group.

We continued floating over the reddish dunes a further 1½ hour until the group reached back to civilisation.

I very much enjoyed this recipe. Thanks to all for making this a great experience.

Thanks Urs and everyone for a great morning out.

Enjoyed getting back into the sand after a long absence!

Had lots of fun and had some nice practice doing family recoveries...

Hope to get back out again soon!
