What a lovely afternoon with awesome group of people

We all met on time, everyone was excited for the trip, weather was super hot
After deflation & flags were one, I started with the explaining the side slop technique, safety briefing & setting the convoy order.

PHARAOH (Lead), Ianzki (second lead), Kingoss1981, ShaanibMi, Mhamidi001, Reji, Ayfas, Windy & Eagle (official sweeper).

Then we head towards the magnificent red dunes in Bu Tais area, we started warming up on some of the small & medium dunes, since all drivers where confident handling their vehicles were headed towards the larger dunes & bowls

We had couple of second tries, then we experienced one stuck in the bottom of a bowl with super soft sand, it took us around 45 mins to recover the vehicle using a winch. We had a lot of fun . Then we had a break near the three palms dune under the shade. After that we drove for another hour in a roller-coaster style. Trip ended at 6:15 pm.

All drivers did very well. Thank you all for joining the trip, hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Thanks Ianzki for being my second lead & Eagle for being a solid Sweeper.

See you all soon on the dunes

Thank you Khalid for an awesome trip. Enjoyed and learned a lot.

Thanks Khaled for organizing such a beautiful trip. Had a great time, learnt a lot of new stuffs. Thanks for your support and guidance. Looking forward more trips in future.

Many thanks dear Khalid for arranging this  wonderful trip. After this trip I felt more comfortable. During the drive, I realized two facts. One was my vehicle's side glass film, it was 70%. It creates problems for my driving, especially slide slopping. During this trip I kept down the side glass and drove. Realized the difference and the next day  I removed the film. Another fact is gear control, thanks Shanib for technical advice. Our Sweeper was superb!. Hope he will be a Marshal in our club.  Thanks to all trip mates. co-pilots and families for your support and cooperation to make this trip become a family picnic ride.
