Dear Almosters,
Thank you Bu Salem for posting the photo taken by me. I was about to post and saw it was already there
I was excited to go to Sweihan as this is my first ever drive to do in this region away from Dubai and Sharjah
Map was showing 1:45 hours from my location and in actual took almost two hours to reach in reality. Hence 5 minutes delay to the meeting point. My radio had problem of mic which will get activate without pressing the PTT. Brut was the life saver at that time and special thanks to him
Three convoys were formed and I was with the 1st convoy which lead by Mr. Al Shamsi. The route was discussed and the support team + marshal was confirmed.
I was given the opportunity to take the second position in the convoy which was a surprise and at the same time I was asking myself, am I able to make it in second position. The drive was started off smooth and every 100 meters the pace increased. Started with small dunes and bowls. The Sweihan is best place to test and improve your skills. The downs were smooth compared to the previous drives as those were sharp drops and you need to slow down to avoid scrapping/damage your bumper.
I worked hard to catch up the pace of the little beast going in front of me. Many times I heard him to close the gap and another time do not come close. In the previous drives I used to wait for the car in front to give clearance every time crossing the dunes, but this time I just followed the Bu Salem's flag with confidence that the MacLoud Joinior in front cannot be stopped. Bu Salem is very generous to slow down and gather the convoy back together before moving to next level. At the same time Scorpio did a great support to guide the convoy on track and together
When we are getting the feeling that the drive is going to finish in few kilometres and I started to feel that today I did a great job (shouldn’t do it until completing). To the surprise I was struck in a 450 position in which the car will overturn if I do anything wrong. Bu Salem helped and guided to come out from that struck. I didn’t expect that the car will come out that easy by following the instructions.
One of the car is nosedived. Arun handled the situation with ease and smiling face. I would be worried if I was at that place and it taught me how to handle the difficult situations or unexpected events.
Nagra dune is the amazing to see and hoping to drive to the top one day. The little beast conquered all the way to the top of the Nagra dune and my lucky fellow passenger got the chance to sit with Bu Salem for this adventure. Scorpio made to the top of Nagra dune and it was like a ship cruising in the sea, great show
My trip to Sweihan was an exciting and challenging adventure that tested my skills and taught me valuable lessons. I had a memorable and rewarding experience, and I’m looking forward to more such adventures in the future.
Special thanks to the organiser, support team and the marshals to make this drive as a memorable one
I extend my special thanks to the organizers, support team, and marshals for making the drive memorable.
Thank you
