Yet another exploration trip on 23/24 March Trip Report
As the names suggests, YES it was another outstanding exploration trip. We started as usual time on Friday 10:20 Morning after the blessings of Mr. Chairmam and we left for the mountain.
We stopped for SUSHI (We travel in style man) Just after the village of FILI before joining the northern frontier of the mountain where we followed the route to the top of the Hajer mountain where we climbed to 670m above the sea level. The climb started with a small to moderate slop but it ecrease in such a way we did have to engage 4x4 to climb in safe manaer.
We commence decending towards Hatta and we ended up in the village of al Qawir where we stopped and decided to head for SIJI and then to Masafi and to wadi Bih. Due to the time we took to cross wadi Ejili to siji, it was agreed to camp at DIBBA beach.
We managed to find a good spot to pitch our tents and BBQ was ready by 9:00pm.
The weather was fine all the way through the day and night as well.
In the morning we head for wadi Tayiba where we had never being before and man... it was nice and you can hear camera flicking for miles. as this place is amazing here the sample
All arrived back home a little tired but ready to posts areas of concern and room for improvement.
I would like to thank you all for your company and hope to see you soon on another adventure.

Now its my turn,
Yet another exploration trip under the leadership of Mpenzi, i travelled with him thousands of Kilometers across the UAE and i know him very well, but this weekend i recognized him from his new T Shirt :bravo:
We started our trip and as usual getting more & more interesting as we go higher on the mountains, on this altitude, everyone was taking pictures in an unbeleivable weather 8) 8)
Then we came down the mountain heading to Masafi. I really loved the drive through the high mountains in the afternoon
At night, it was great as usual around the fire. The next morning, the scenery was very nice around the camp site
Mpenzi, your leadership was great as always.
JO, Yehia, FreeSpirit, Malcolm, your company was fun as usual. It was nice meeting Ghassan and driving with Tobias. Sorry i had to leave you guys in the early morning But i had to be in Adu Dhabi before noon. It was a fast non-stop drive to avoid falling asleep.
Looking forward for the next trip 8) 8) 8)

Diver, super pics, you desrve the rank of offical photographer, my camera battery died at lunchtime, just at the gorge when things got exciting. Hope nobody takes my comments about times personally, but I would rather stop into the journey when I need refreshment not at the beginning, Jo, we all need petrol and I like your "Mea Culpa" quote, but think Divers quote re your signature is funnier

So it seems that you all had lots of fun with in your . Also your site was nice , what i can see from the pictures.
But we where not lazy at all as you may think
No no, we had very nice this evening at the Dunes of Mussafah with the rest of the gang. Thats how the mood was actually
Of course we missed to be with us, but he ( to make it more clear ) guided us back as usual, togehter with Adiga.
Thanks God also Diver and his Cherokee is back safe from the mountains, so the danger still lays here ( officially anounced to be Divers Smiley )
