No more Mussafah Trips

Post by iguana »

Due to the Construction work in Mussafah area we decided to stop making trips there. The place became very dangerous and full of Bulldozer and heavy machinery which are breaking the dunes.

I know that there are some groups who goes together in an unofficial trips to this area as well. Please guys take care and don't go there again, it is not safe any more.

We are currently exploring a new are near the city for fast trips and night drives and will be informing you once the are is explored and found safe.

Safety 1st
Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

Of course safety first..But it really depends on the level of the trip as well as the timing...
So why don't we just do some newbie morning trips only in mussafah, Coz actually mussafau area is a nice place for short training trip,, it helps the people get to know their cars without having difficult stucks..
Anyways,, it's just a thought... :wink:

I agree, last night drive with Diver, there was lots of bulldozers and cut dunes that is hard to see from the other side that it has been cut, so it is not about the level of driving it is dangerous for every one.

I guess we need to extend our exploring trips even more... and find safer areas. Maybe we can find out the areas that are not marked for development soon. Anyone in the club work for the Ministry of planning. :lol:
