Rocky Challenge
Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2010 9:18 pm
Some time ago (years!) some friends and I set up a 4x4 rock track, called it Rocky Challenge, mapped it and tested it, and then never really used it!
Tintin reminded me recently just how much fun rocks can be and offroading is not only sand dunes... so here are the pics if anyone's interested. The obstacles should still be marked; if not, I'll remember them. And if I can't remember them, we'll make some new ones! 8) LOL
Here's the map - the location is just outside of Bureimi, in Oman, but no visa is required.
The first climb, up high to a beautiful open-desert view (no dunes, this is the start of the Omani mountains):
Here's the most difficult obstacle - a ladder is needed for this one only; the other obstacles can be negotiated with a stock 4x4 and some good driving.
At the wheel, veteran off-roader Nadim 8)
Another obstacle:
