The night before whilst at the Military base in Mitan, one of the officers had informed us of a petrol station south at Al Mazyunah.
From a TPC Mike guestimated a waypoint and off we set.
At one point Mike and Linda took another track from Ian, Be and myself and we lost them until later
Fast track
Driving in dust at the rear is not much fun, especially with poor tracks and poor viz, I hung back so that I could see what I was driving on
Spectacular scenery
I almost lost site of the other two vehilces in front but there was always a dust trail ahead of me, unfortunately given the short range of our FRS radios I was also out of radio contact
Be's front RH wheel askew
I then had to traverse a small rocky area no more than 4 meters across and on the other side was Be's Pathfinder
Apparently she had hit the rocky area trying to keep up with Ian whilst still in the dust, and had hit it hard.
We had no cell phone signal and after an initial check we decided to wait until somebody discovered that we were no longer following and return to find us.
