The Magic of Fossil Rock to Faya (Convoy 2)
Since it was the first day of the Ramadan holiday, it was great to see so many of you so enthusiastic to join the drives that eventually 2 convoys had to be made to accommodate all of you. I had the pleasure indeed to lead the convoy 2.
Big thanks to @Lorenzo Candelpergher for planing, preparing, posting of the drive and making the drive possible. Unfortunately, we could not have the two convoys reconvene as planned but i am sure we all in both convoys had fun.
We started at the Mahafiz entrance and really it was quite difficult to try to avoid as many bushes as I could. It might have felt bumpy but once we made it to the really playable dunes, I could see all of you pushing your car and enjoying those dunes. We were very lucky to have been able to enjoy quite some of them, especially the long roller coaster rides at the famous long range dunes. We then proceeded to the foot of the fossil rock and the climb felt like a piece of cake to this great bunch of fewbies. Luckily there was not much rock on the other side, so we crossed the fossil rock to get to the other side.
We then embarked on our way to the great Faya through camel rock. And finally the area in the second half was less bushy so we could enjoy the dunes with slightly technical and softer dunes. Since all of us drove very well, we barely had minor refusals which was mainly due to loss of momentum but was very well managed under the amazing support of @Islam Soliman and @Ranjan Das. We were very fortunate to find Faya area empty with just few bikers, its was like the whole area was all ours which gave us the opportunity to experience it more. We then climbed from the back of Faya while enjoying the bowls and then we attempted the front side as much as we could as we were the only one around. I hope everybody enjoyed the drive.
Thank you to the team for doing so well yesterday. @luis manteconyou played the important role of the second lead very well, thank you. @Ranjan Das thank you for being the centre forward. Special thanks to our flawless sweep @Islam Soliman.
Enjoy your holidays and see you all soon in the sand...
