Nice camp company where we were treated to the fantastic KARAK tea from the karak Master Bu Hamdan, lots of jokes and laughs, and a beautiful sleep under the desert skies.
The next morning intermediates and advance were separated under the marshaling of Bu Salem. I was privileged to be given the chance to be the second lead behind Bu Salem and boy it was an excellent opportunity to learn from the master and have an idea of what it means to be second lead.
Thanks to all camp participants who made the camp a night to remember.
Thanks to Bu Salem for the nice track and all advance and intermediate drivers for making it a fun filled drive.
Thanks to Khatib, Silvester, Abu Jimmy, and Lamboo for getting us safely to the camp site.

Another good dish cooked by our marshals. Sadly i couldn't join the camping as the meeting time was too early for me to reach after work, i know i missed a lot of fun:012:...Was so excited for morning drive that reached the meeting point at 6:45 itself :005: then waited for all, having my breakfast. We were split in three convoys, The Club members and newbies, Only newbies, and the intermediates/advanced or "Badboys" as referred by Bu Salem. I was in the Club members and newbies convoy. Lead by Capri, and sweeped by Abu Jimmy, Both done great job. The route was not very challenging and fast, being club members in it, but definitely a lot to learn. There were few stucks and losts and wonderful job done by Abu Jimmy there to guide them back to convoy. Thank you Abu Jimmy for that and thank you Capri for this another delicious dish and your patience:059:.
Cant wait for the next trip and camping with my second family.
See you all in sand:028:

Well friends, another great drive with friends. Surely almoster rock!
I missed the camping, but for me the day started with meeting all at the designated point. The initial instructions by Bu-Salem set the tone for fun and laughter.
I was in the clubmembers+Newbie convoy. The route was interesting.With Capri leading and Abu sweeping I guess everyone felt safe and cared for at all times. At one time we lost one or two cars in the convoy as they went off track. Surely they were recovered soon enough by the marshals. It is a contant reminder of the dangers of driving in the desert. The safety net of almost surely takes care of this danger.
The drive itself was interesting. A few stucks here and there, most of the drivers managed self recovery. The sand was drier and softer compared to the last few weeks, and I guess it is going to get even more so as days pass by. So the fun and the challenge are on the upswing.
Thank you marshals and founders for the amazing day!

Another successful trip with the family , nice night drive to camp behind Al Khatib . chit chat with a wonderful company around the fire and enjoying the great weather and delicious BBQ offered by Al Hanai , followed with the perfect karak from the karak master ( Hamdan ) and not to forget the turkish coffe offered by omar .the morning drive was very satisfactory with one single stuck and no pop outs . all the drivers did very well especially the club members as their very first time in the sand . Thanks to all participants for making this trip full of fun and joy .
What goes around , comes around .

It was great, i had the chance to engage low gear for the first time and check my car capabilities, also receiving, observing and dealing with Marshals' instructions in "stuck situations" enhanced my experience. Thank you Caprihourse and Abu Jimmy as we learned very much from you.

Good Morning almosters
Thanks to Al Khatib & Caprihorse for organizing such a nice trip. It is all about the effort you do to make our weekends memorable. I enjoyed the night camp where we had many members but unfortunately you can't chit chat with all of them at the same time. Thanks for all the members who joined for the night camp and who joined us in the morning too.
The intermediate did very well although the ground was not that smooth. I think until winter is over we have to drive in other territories. till then take care and drive safely.
Regards
