Overnight Camping trip to Wadi Bih - 8th-9th Aug 2008

Have not gone for camping since long. In this peak summer, the spot that comes to mind is Wadi Bih. I hope the temperature at that height would be pleasant during evening and night. But it could be hot and humid as well. We'll know only when we go there.

Plan:

• We have to reach camping spot by 6.00 in the evening so that we have enough time to pitch tents and settle down before dark.
• Estimated travel time to camping spot: 4 to 5 hrs from Abu Dhabi (Considering small kids and few stops along the way, and I prefer to travel at 120-130 speed)
• Start from Abu Dhabi : 1.00 noon (have lunch before starting or have it on the road/Adnoc etc)
• Stop at Friday market to buy firewood etc
• Reach camping ground by 6.00 p.m.
• Pitching in tents etc. 1-2 hrs.
• Have Fun Till morning!!
  
• Start back in the morning depending upon the heat. I guess we will need to packup and leave latest by 8.00 as it will get hot quickly.
• Drive back home/wherever you want to go.

Preparation

• Food: Everybody to arrange for themselves (this is the least complicated option). For dinner and next day breakfast. Bring enough drinking water/fluids.
• Usual camping stuff such as tent, sleeping bags, chairs, tables, water for washing , first aid kit, torch/flash light, Chargeable Lantern, coolbox etc.
• Whoever has Walkie-Talkie, please bring and don't forget to charge the batteries.

Please inform me if you are interested to join.
