It was a fairly long convoy and we proceeded towards the right side of the gatch towards the bigger dunes. We had multiple attempts on some on the larger dunes where each one of them could practice side sloping and quench their thirst for the bigger dunes. As we made our way towards Sweihan side we reached the more technical dunes at the end of Khazna. Since it was only 4 PM and we had another hour and an half we decided to push our way towards Sweihan to the bowl run. We did a little bit of gatch road driving so that we could enjoy our time more on the bowls.
We were lucky enough to play on 2 bowls in the sweihan area. Each person had multiple runs on these dunes. Towards the end Firoz's Xterra started to over heat up at the bottom of one bowl. After allowing it to rest for a while and multiple failed attempts, Nanda drove his car out of the bowl and got his car out. Upon reaching the gatch it was now 6:30 PM by the time all cars were out and back on the gatch. Along the way Firoz's car died completely and we had to pull him out with a towrope. Luckily it was on the gatch road and Umer pulled him back tot he defaltion point. All cars reached the deflation point at 7 PM. It was a long day but it was truly fun. We covered 59 KMs over 4.5 hours and it was a great drive. Everyone drove really well and showed good control of their cars.
Thank you to all the advance drivers that came and supported this drive. Your assistance was much appreciated.
Look forward to seeing you'll all in the sand next time. until then ... Adios
