Sweihan is still a big playground, but I think towards Al Ain airport will be less crowded Is it the treasure hunt with UAE off-roaders?:( i heard about it but didn’t know where it will be.

Popular Post JeromeFJ Posted January 27 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 27 Dear Friends, great morning out in the sand today ! We managed to build a fluid convoy, flowing from one set of big dunes to another, riding the ridges, circling the bowls, climbing the big faces. We had a few challenges, starting by facing the rising sun, exactly in our eyes in the first hour, but also the beautiful contrast of climbing from a dark side in the shade, switching on a ridge to a bright sunny sand slope. Many cross tracks in some areas, but we could tick the big climbs of the Sweihan area. After the first hour, the sun was not a problem anymore, but the wind was rising, blowing sand everywhere, blurring the view for the crossings. At the summit of the Old Lady dune, it was impossible to see the actual ground, covered by the flying sand, and we dived directly into the steep descend. Unfortunately @Joji varghese had to leave us, his car deciding to go 2H only. In the last portion by Al Ain Airport, the big bowls were abused by cross tracks, and a motorbike/ buggy rally was in the way, but we managed to find nice virgin portions, steady climbs, before a fluid finish to reach the exit track. More than 70 km, average moving speed above 25 km/h, barely a few refusals, this is proof of the skills and focus of each driver, but also the cohesion we managed to build within the group. @Joji varghese @Mark B @Jaro Tuzinsky @Jona @Zed @Joseph Raju @Naveen Raj @Rajiv Sam @Amr Aydin, thanks again for joining today ! Enjoy the rest of the weekend 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Raju Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Smooth and safe drive. Really enjoy. Thank you @JeromeFJ for the wonderful drive. We expected a lot of convoy because of some treasure hunt. But we also find some nice dunes to play and it was really nice. Convoy was really good. All are experienced drivers. Only a few refusals ( one is mine) @Joji varghese was amazing second lead, but due to some technical issues with his car, he has to leave the convoy early and his place and role was really covered by @Rajiv Sam. Amazing support by @Zed as center forward. I was following him and saw his jeep power (I already had a experience before) Sweep role was really fulfilled by @Amr Aydin . Most of the time radio was silent which showing the concentration and driving skills of the convoy. It was very nice to part of such convoy. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
