Re: AVON CALLING!......................
The trip was really a lot of fun. Massive thanks to everyone, specially to the marshalls and sweepers for their help, patience, and their expertise in getting us out of our stuck... it was mortifying but a learning experience.
Special thanks to Ahmed for the dune buggy ride. It made my day! Hope you won't have a hearing problem after being subjected to my screams. Sorry but I had to get it out of my system otherwise, I'll have a heart attack right there and then. It was truly amazing! :cheers:
Meeting everyone for the first time (except for Iguana) was an added bonus. Ad 4x4 honestly have wonderful people.
Oh and I must say xof have better leggs than mine... Thanks to the men for being such good sport...and the lady marshalls ROCK!
Kudos to Joy for organizing the trip...and JC care to buy my car???

Re: AVON CALLING!......................
BTW... I've added a few pictures to the gallery, but am FRUSTRATED with the time and effort it takes to upload them to this site.... SO, I uploaded all of my pics from yesterday to Facebook. There are THREE Facebook AD4X4 groups... argh!!! I uploaded to one of them. Here's the link:
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4 ... 2255880873 (this is an OLD group!)
http://www.facebook.com/photo_search.ph ... 0165410464 (this, I think, is the active group!)
Pics up on both and on my facebook, which you can find under: Sandi Blankenship
Cheers!

Re: AVON CALLING!......................
Sorry, girls, I would have loved to come, but there is this fantastic WOMAD- festival at the corniche, where I had to go.
It is still going on this evening, and it's really worth to have a look. It's for free and very well organised.

Re: AVON CALLING!......................
What a trip!!!!
A great route, led by Yahia.
Upon reaching the BBQ area, we all sat quiet awaiting attacks from Joy, but nothing happened.
The weather was beautiful in the night, and many of us stayed chatting until late in the evening.
Chief, I dont recommend 'How to deal with a pop-out' instruction demonstration be done at night next time.
A great day had by all, plus I won a light!!!!!
Joy put me down for the next one!!!!
Thanks again,
Lee.

Re: AVON CALLING!......................
Thanks Iguana. I really appreciate all the help and the marshalls taking time to explain things. At least my poor tuc managed to bring us home in one piece and without leaving any of its spare parts in the desert.
Hope you like the caricature I've made for you...although after the trip I think may have to make one for myself with my head stuck under the sand...really a far-fetching picture!
