GPSLS trip 20th Aug -Report

[Viking]

Almost all registered members met on time at the deflation point except one (No worries Maddog I wont mention your name )
Four members that shared an afternoon of leading, 2nd lead and sweeping through the dunes of Al Khatim.
I hope you enjoyed the different trip and got another piece of experience in your bag.
I enjoyed it and I think you did well. It was a good group and that might be one reason why it was so much fun.
Thanks Khaiwi and Maddog (4-2) for joining us and helping out.

Wow that was fun and a good experience !
Thank you Eric for organizing this very different trip, thank you Khaiwi
and Maddog for being around.
It was a good group together, it was nice meeting you all again Jayne, Sean,
Rolf, Waqar with mom and family. Thanks to all drivers to lead us the way,
and hope everyone reached home safely. Rolf I am keen to learn why Japanese
cars want to fume off petrol !
See you all again soon !

[Sean]

Thanks Viking,
Great day and great trip, first fun the meeting spot but all got there using a few dirrerent routes and some with early deflating (just in case).....

Rolf, Waqar ,Fox, well done in your leads and second leads, Fox maximising the Jeep ability to take steep dunes with no top!(Forgetting the LWB's behind), Waqar thought we were doing a time trial for the FI ..... Rolf, pleasure following you and your bumpers stayed on...hope the car gets sorted and let us know the outcome of the tank issue as intrigued..

Khaiwi and Maddog thanks for your support too, good to have you guys about too.....

Look forward to the followup....

Cheers

Sean
Stay Safe.

Thanks Viking for organizing a different type of trip that definitly adds confidence to members in desert driving. You guys all did well.

It was pleasure seeing you all after real long time. Season is around the corner and I hope to see you all more often.

I will try to upload some pictures by today or tomorrow.

Regards,

Cheers guys, hope you enjoyed the chance to see a desert drive from a different perspective and you're able to take away something from that.

My late arrival - well lets just say that the billion dollar GPS sattelite system perhaps really is better than my own in built sense of direction!

Don't worry Eric, I'm not gonna mention crests, or jeeps or recoveries or anything like that 4-2 and counting!

Cheers team.

ps the NZ All Blacks had an awesome win over South Africa tonight - yesssssss!!!

No worries - Two reasons for parking on the crest. I was not used to the extra ballast of my Swedish guest and also I wanted to show him how it feels to get stuck so mission completed (twice )

Congratulations to the win - I heard it was Tri-Nations in mudwrestling at the moment

[maddog]

Congratulations to the win - I heard it was Tri-Nations in mudwrestling at the moment

You'd either be a very brave man, or foolish, to call the men in black mudwrestlers

[Sean]

Yeh great result and well deserved win...
Go the AB's......

[Viking]

It is good thing that these sports (rugby, cricket etc) is only played by the former states of the British empire so you dont have to compete with the rest of the (modern) world
By the way - is it called Tri-Nations because it is three countries in the world playing or what

By the way - neither brave or foolish. Just a BIG MOUTH!!
