September Shakedown #1

21 September 2012 - September Shakedown / me4x4

Our second club event - opening of the autumn - winter season. Purpose - to wake up drivers and cars from the summer malaise. Last year we couldn't  stay until the end,but this time it worked. The place was the same as last year, the Omani enclave. This time, access to the picnic spot was more demanding, or maybe a break in the desert driving experience gave us a toll :) We buried a few times - to be more precise it was cresting - when you hung up on the top of the dune. Well, it happens.

Marvelous moon. He gave us a lot of light and he was not even in his half way to full moon :)

This photos I took about 6.30 AM. Nice, soft light. The temperature was really pleasre, about 27 degrees (C) and the sand was cool.

And this is our 'corner' in the camp. Thanks to marvelous Dorothy and Wojtek we have a beautiful, huge tent! Thank you for this great gift . We were very impressed of the size tent :) There is a place for us, ferrets and all the equipment! And there still is a space!

This small brake on the way back to inflate the wheels.

Omani Mountains.

It was our first night on the desert and certainly not the last. At night our camp was visited by two camels. They were a little scared because of torches, so I did not take a picture.

Later on I will post a movie :)
