hello , I am not a fan of formalities and I hate writing reports ................... but I have to so here I go
We were all in the meeting point almost 10.30 am , we moved to the deflation point , reached there by 11 am , Briefing and a small practical recovery training was done , and here we go ...
well , there is nothin much to be said ... Small Dunes , Big Dunes , Small Slopes , Big Slopes , Fast Drive , Slow Drive , High Gear , Low Gear ............. etc , just one comment ..... everybody was great .
Out of Al Faqa by almost 2 pm .... tires inflated at the Petrol Station then we headed to Swaihan
We had lovely time trying to find Urs group in the middle of no where and we finally found them thanks to Aidy's mobile and to Tom's sharp eyes ..... well , we stayed with them almost 10 mins , it was nice to see some old friends .
and then we moved again trying to go as fast and as high as we can .......... we were pretty good actually , went to the BBQ point " The Famous Swaihan Tree " we were there almost 5 pm , had a small chat with the other group over there, Jamal & Tom wanted to stay with our friends for the BBQ while the rest of us headed home .
Thank you guys so much Aidy , Amr , Jamal , Dan & Of course Tom for making today's drive such a lovely one .
Regards

Wonderful and very tiring day out today... Thank u Ultramind for a long great drive today. Excellent choice of route, with a slow pace in the beginning and gradually increasing the challenges according to everyone's skills (Loved the way out from Sweihan especially, but maybe not the jeep ). Keep it up buddy and looking forward for more from you
Pleasure meeting u all today; Kalemero, Danbay, Boujebba & Tom (Excellent driving!!!)
See u all soon

Fantastic trip Ultamind. I don't know how you kept up the concentration of route finding all day. I'm exhausted and about to fall asleep. The route was amazing. Lots of fun, lots of fun, and time to play. Thank you.
It was great to see the team spirit during recoveries, and a well disciplined group having fun. I also appreciated Ultramind's translation to English of the rest-stop conversations in Arabic. The car sounds and hand gestures were almost enough to make sense of what was being said.
All in all it was a super way to spend National Day.

Really amazing drive, and my first trip to Al Faqa. What a place, can't wait to be there again !!! Very challenging and lot of fun.
Then we headed to Swihan and enjoyed the scenery at 250m 8O
Finally I joined Mike group for the BBQ, Stopped to take pics of the ANIT group being introduced to small dunes cresting and when I left, I had a pop out trying to avoid a small bush behind a dune. Hopefully Tom was there and I really appreciated his help fixing it. Now my front bumper has a war scar
Thanks to all for the wonderful day in the desert
