FS - Guidebook

I realise that this is a shameless plug. The 2nd edition of my guidebook should be out shortly. Changes from the 1st edition's routes are quite extensive. Four more routes in southern Oman, one of which is a 500km off-road expedition. Several routes have been taken out due to new road construction and fence lines, and many routes have had to be amended. The aim was to bring it up to date and to add in the new routes. Sadly, the actual published cover will look different from the one below; note the sponsor in the bottom right hand corner. However there are plenty of pictures of both my Gs in action throughout.

Re: Guidebook

Good to hear the new book is finally being released Mike, it has taken them long enough.

Looking forward to knocking over your new route through the middle of Oman sooner or later.

It may also pay to post on the Expedition Portal as there are quite a few posts in the different forums relating to the UAE & Oman.

Re: Guidebook

The publisher also produce the magazine "Outdoor UAE", Mike used to be a regular contributor for many of their off roading & other articles until he moved from the UAE to Spain mid last year.

A lot of the routes in Mikes book are also articles in the magazine as well.

RE: Guidebook

The book will be in the shops next week. If you want a copy in the US or anywhere else outside the UAE/Oman, (and if you want the 1st edition too) write to the publisher at daniel@outdooruae.com

The final cover is below; an indication of who the main sponsor was.
