Great people, awesome area, perfect timing... Always result in a great trip..

Some were early, some just made it, but we all were there at the briefing, got deflated and were ready to move.

The pace was good, and you can see the skills improving as we go deeper in the dunes.
Few 2nd tried and couple of stucks, but all part of the learning experience.

The break times were nice, where we sat, chatted and got to know each other more.

The_Kraken, very good 2nd lead
Nigel123, nice meeting you and the wife, great car you have, I told you my secret, but don't tell anyone

Mosalf, nice car you have, what is it called again

finally you are driving

Frastow, good driving but NO jumping, nice meeting you again and the family
Nid, you improved greatly during the trip, well done
Kastrato, nice driving, hope you and your guest enjoyed your time, next time I will smoke in the petrol station and call you if the police catch me

Ghass, great to have you back, your car looks great, Mabrook again
Tillybean, as always, thanks for the great support

You all did well and were up to the challenges put for you.

Hope you all enjoyed the trip, I did for sure, and looking forward to meet you all again on the sand soon.

Till then, take care and drive safe

Got to ADNOC early wondering if it was the right one or not, Desert Hawk turned up and then gradually everyone else did, great lead by DH very good at explaining things and very patient, Kraken great to follow you and good to chat with, Tillybean thanks for the advice on my second and third attempts (next time we will bring a spare mug for tea!). all in all a very worthwhile experience which we both throughly enjoyed, great crowd to drive with.

Wow, DH what a great experience following you. Thoroughly enjoyed the pace. It was thrilling to say the least. I finally got through my ANIT(I hope). I learnt so much yesterday but above all I learnt that we need to learn and respect the desert and the sand. If you fail to, it will treat you likewise and the consequences are for us to bear. You added a personal touch for which gave me a lot of confidence.

Thanks to Tillybean for her continuos support and encouragement to us newbies.

I am indebted to Gassan for his input on correct tire pressure and to Rob for waiting and checking on me each time I lagged behind.

Frastow, thanks for all the words of encouragement and above all for introducing me to this wonderful club. I owe it you Man.

Nigel, Nid wow, it was great driving with you and look forward to more such trips with you guys.

Thanks to all of you, I thoroughly enjoyed the drive and look forward to more of them.

A really nice ANIT trip with great people.

Everyone did so well following the Hawk - a few second tries here and there and a couple of stucks added to the fun for everyone. Really liked the "chat" time and the melon at the end.

Thanks to DH for another lovely morning (along with his passengers) and for a nice route.

Mabrook to Mosalf - good driving in your new "baby" and nice to see that you took it easy and didnt get over confident.
Nigel123 and Chris - great to meet you both. Brilliant driving and good listening to instructions. You got up that dune in the end! And yes, please ensure you have adequate china on your next trip

Nid (aka Jayne's Car) - lovely to meet you and you have the TJ under great control already. Nice driving and a positive attitude.
Frastow - lovely to see you out with the family. Driving improved as you went through the day, but just remember to make sure that you can hear the Marshal

The_Kraken - nice driving as always. Good solid second lead.
Kastrato - you have a handle on your car now George and your skills are good.
Ghass - so nice to have you back with us. Mabrook for the new car which, of course, you drove really well. Was incredibly impressed that you followed the track at all times and didnt wander off and play. Your driving skills are great.

Thanks again everyone for making this another great AD4x4 family day out in the sand. Thanks to those that paid for the party.

See you all soon and Eid Mubarak.

Once again we had endless fun!
Everybody as always was very friendly and helpful!
The marshals spot on! The route perfect and the scenery excellent! (the camels add on this)
Special thanks to Sam that gave me the strap to tie my cargo and to DH that allowed me to smoke.... illegally...

Also special thanks to DH for this lovely dessert experience once more..
Me and my passenger really enjoy this one!
I really liked the fact that we tried more uphills this time! Although I had a couple of second tries.. (its part of the learning process I guess)
Everything went smoothly from the beginning up to the time my battery gone flat.... DH thanks for the jump start...
Mabrook to the guys with the new cars!
I am looking forward to see you all again!!
