Late Afternoon drive 1st Feb 2013 - Report

Post by waqmaster »

So we had MLC, Nautibean, Grizzly, Desert_storm, Berho_desert, ossme and tillybean all geared up for the night drive to sweihan.

Was a smooth drive with a good number of stucks, second tries, pop outs and motion sickness :)

everyone did really well and started to cope better with the lack of sun/moon light!

We had an impromptu birthday party...on top of the crest with cake, party HATS! and those things you blow into ;) full with sugar we kicked off the drive to sweihan.....

We reached sweihan, where we caught up with walleed and had mandi on the way back :)

Was a really memorable drive.

Thanks,

Waqar

This was a great night drive and everyone did very well. The opportunity for learning something new/practising a skill is always a good thing, and this trip was no exception. The dunes are so different at night and you need to have a keen sense of whats going on around you.

A few stucks and pop outs contributed to the fun and allowed great "teaching moments" for all.

Thanks to Waqar for once again doing something different and providing a safe and exciting learning opportunity for everyone.

Well done to Grizzly, Nautibean, Desert_storm, BERHO_desert and ossme - you all did really well. Keep up the great work and get some more night drives under your belts.

MLC - as always, a great sweep.

Thanks again Waqar. And thanks for the sugar rush !! I hope we didnt frighten too many camels with our rendition of Happy Birthday!!

One word: awesome!

One question: when can we do it again?

One observation: a light bar is best when it's actually attached to the car and works!!! (Phil are you listening????)

The cutting was, but the taste of the cake was still good.

Lesson 2 - remember to always have a spoon handy if you let Ossme cut the cake!
