Suzy... it's 300m GULP Paul x

Paul, you winding me up.........lol We climb it on the 6th day, and they say we will have fun descending.........lol Suzy :o) x

To whom it may concern, I would like to send this sick note in for my mate Yvette cos she has a dose of the flippity tummies and is sooooo stressed that she can't go for a little walk in the sand with her mates and make sand castles. Please excuse her from the planned trip. Thanks. Jacky :-)

Jacky Ahem. Sand castles ? Suzy Day 5: After a good breakfast we head down a gully onto the desert floor. We spend the morning crossing hamada, or stony flat desert. We have several short climbs and cross very dry plains. There is very little vegetation around but we manage to find the only tree for miles to have lunch under. When the hottest part of teh day has passed, we set off across more hamada until we cross a ridge and have a spectacular view of CHGAGA, the largest sand dunes of the region. We camp below the dunes for the night. Day 6: The day starts with the spectacular climb and incredible view from the top of the 300-metre dune. To the south are rolling dunes as far as the eye can see and to the North hamada and the Jebel Bani. After taking in the view we have fun descending the dune along one of the narrow ridges. Regrouping at the bottom and meeting up with the camels, we refill our water bottles and walk through the low dunes. If anyones interested in the remaining day, I'll type a bit more up later ?

Paul My Itinerary says its only 100m high, and it has the exact wording as yours. Suzy :o) x

Jacky J - sicknote declined.... she's been paid for so she's going!! :O) xx

Poem for Yvette - The Walrus and the Carpenter Were walking close at hand; They wept like anything to see Such quantities of sand: 'If this were only cleared away', They said, 'it would be grand'.

CB - you're not calling our Yvette a Walrus are ya? LOL!! xx

DIANA!!! Of course not! They're mirages - and you'll see plenty of those! LOL CB >|< X
