Exploring Um al Oush Take #2

Post by EmDoc »

On arrival at the deflation point, the group, Thomas, Bishar, Ajesh and me were met with a distress call when some fellow desert drivers asked us to aid a vehicle stuck in Razeen. After our rescue mission time prohibited our original destination, an exploration of lower Um Al Oush. Undaunted, we set off to visit the star dunes. What a mess of a beautiful area the bulldozers have made. Once magnificent dunes have been chopped and largely ruined for desert driving making the trip a technical and awkward affair, nevertheless we made the best of things and had as much fun as we could. It will certainly take a while for the the region to heal.

Thanks all for joining the trip and thanks Ajesh for your part lead.

Exploring Um al Oush take #3 will occur soon.

See all again soon.

Top score for deciding to answer the distress call. The relief on the guys' faces after pulling the vehicle out was worth the effort.

The umm al oush area we ventured into is smashed beyond belief now and this patch is to be avoided for some time .Its a bit too testy for advanced drives.

Thnx Emdoc for keeping the challenging area interesting with your track selection. Good work by Bishar as second lead and Thomas in getting back into the groove after a few weeks.

Till nexg time..
