M.Seidam Posted June 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Drive Report Indeed it was a pitch black and a challenging drive last night especially around big red . At second December cafeteria every one was on time ready and after the brief we headed toward our first “pitch black loop” around the eastern side of pink rock on the track passing jabal nazwa and looping around the 🐊 rock back the western side of pink rock were the guys enjoyed climbing the loops before we ascend the rock as usual. That was the warming up loop. Now the eyes and senses are accustomed to get to the next level bit faster and bit challenging ascending and descending in roll coster kind of fashion and here we encountered couple refusals which was expected and the first thing we did when down back to the track is to check our tire pressure along with a coffe break . now comes the most interesting and challenging part of the whole trip and for this one I have to admit that despite the challenge every one was determined to take the challenge. Counterclockwise we looped around big red reaching as top as possible negotiating its Bowles up there in the dark in the order of west , south and east and back to north this last one we encountered a nasty stuck when @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke got his Pajero wedged in a tricky situation in wedged between the limbs of a V shape bowl. probably this was the only true stuck of the night. A team work spirit buzzed and acted immediately for help in timely and coordinated fashion after the plan of recovery explained and set ready. Luckily we had two winch enabled cars thanks to @Ignacio Quindósand @Zulfikhar Naiyar were a double winching was set to bring the Pajero one third of a distance up the hill to clear it’s rear and it was done safely. After that Luke could reverse it and luckily without winching and with the proper instructions came forward and exited by self recovery. On the way to exit I thanked all participants and the listened to their positive feedback which was confirmed by the big smiles while inflating . @Ignacio Quindós thank you for being an excellent second lead and all the help when ever was needed. my regards to Ignacio junior 😉 @Sunil Mathew thank you for anchoring the first to the second half of the convoy . Fantastic . I hope your son had enjoyed the black loops 😉 @Benjamin amazing sweep and communication as usual and thanks for keeping me informed always from the tail of the convoy as well as for the help in the last stuck as well . It was pleasure to meet for the first time both @Zulfikhar Naiyar and @Dinesh Kumar A very well done and thanks for sharing the passion. rest of the team @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke @Michael @MohamedSherif @Waqar Sarwarand @Krishna R you all did more than great guys. till we meet again take care and drive safe cheers seidam 4 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 @M.Seidam great drive in the infinite dark loops! Thank you for the great drive report it was very informative For me this drive was a challenge to understand the limits of my halogen jeep lights illuminating the sandy waves, with a few minor refusals I managed to continue to press on while capturing some nice photos on the top of pink rock everyone drove amazingly we had a healthy mix of driving and refusals which usually are the most important style of off-road experience; learning how to recover safely is just as important as learning to drive safely. @Krishna R always good to meet up in the trail, especially seeing that mighty Xterra climb dunes. @Ignacio Quindós@Zulfikhar Naiyar both did well with the double winch was amazing seeing the abilities of these tools in situations without would mean removing the dune by shovel. everyone I missed out drove great and will look forward to the next one! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunil Mathew Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Nice drive as usual Doc @M.Seidam..

It was nice to do the Big Red at night (first time for me) , although we could not complete the full ascents as planned. Looking forward to do a full climb at night 🙂and test limits of our concentration . Good to meet everyone on the drive, see you all soon 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
