Dxb Newbie Into the Dark
Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:05 am
As no newbie members registered to the trip and the intermediate member cancelling in the last few hours, the convoy ended up being formed of the below members:
1. Mustafa
2. Walid
3. Rick
4. Abo Ali
5. Abo Ali's guest; Hamad
Upon briefing, I was skeptical on how the sand condition and texture will be especially after the heavy rains in the area , therefore, we decided to start extremely easy and pick up the pace as we go and sense confidence. However, we didn't expect that the wind will be so aggressive. We drove in really difficult conditions as we couldn't determine where the crests lines are and visibility was really bad, therefore we maintained an easy track to take us back home safe. To me, Badayer seemed to be a totally new area yesterday; wind has cleared all tracks and kept the sand extremely soft.
The trip was completed with no damages to any of the vehicles, few second tires, and a recovery that was safely handled by Walid.
Thank you to all the members who joined especially Walid and Rick for coming from the capital.
Thank you Abo Ali and Hamad, always a pleasure driving with you.
See you guys soon, hopefully in a more friendly condition
Regards,
Mustafa
