WHISPERING PEAKS
The off-road season is now underway!
The off-road season is now underway!
What better way to make the most of the long weekend than an afternoon drive in Sweihan . Deflating in the shade behind a tree line, the air was filled with anticipation and excitement, mostly anticipation, as this was a first experience for me leading in this area.
Our meeting point, at a base of a bowl was no coincidence as the agenda for our voyage was to slingshot through the timeless landscape moving from one bowl to another, fate however also seems to have a sense of humor…
As the sun cast first light upon the meeting point, the air calm, and with a pleasantly cool temperature our adventurers had high expectations for the journey ahead. We extended a warm welcome to both our junior and senior members, taking the chance to exchange tales of both on-road and off-road escapades during the summer break.
Our plan was simple which resembled a flock of birds, seeking resources along their journey.
Driving through the amber lit streets of the city en-route to the meeting point with a scorching mercury reading of 35°C it seemed a challenging adventure could be on the cards.
With air temperatures pleasantly cooler than expected and our adventurers in high spirits ahead of the Eid break we started our warm up venturing into the wilderness navigating the densely packed desert flora.
Recovery equipment put to the test!
Today we welcomed our new graduates into the fold who’s past 6 weeks training had equipped them with the skills needed for a drive in this new area together with familiar faces with friends and family guests who wanted to understand ‘what this off-roading is all about.’
This weekend I completed Prospect with Desert a Fellas (pending sign off my safety gear, of course)!!
