Matt: But I don't actually have one, so I'm hiring one (a mountain bike) from Wolfie's Bike shop and hitting the desert in the morning. No doubt there will be pain, tears, drama... and a whole slew of photographs. Stay Tuned...

Where does the time go??
Matt: I can't actually believe that 2 weeks has past so damn fast, I swear the Middle-East is on some kinds strange Fast Forward!!
I just wanna say a quick Happy Birthday to my Dad..Even though it was a week ago! He's a champ and a trooper! Keep fighting and stay strong Dad - you're an inspiration to us all & I love you!! Oh and read those books I bought you so we can discuss them when I'm home next over a fry-up at some greasy spoon cafe..
Well the lovely Verity has come out to visit!! So far we'd had a pretty hectic weekend - What's new? I hear you cry!
Poor thing arrived in Abu Dhabi at 8:00pm by 9:30pm she was at a house party with the whole crew!! Trial by Fire!!!
Friday we hit the desert again, what a wicked day. 7 Cars this time.. count-em!!
Count em again....
We have to thank Fiona Piper for being our photographer for the day. She took some great shots - I was busy driving again! Getting the hang of the Pajero in the dunes now! I even avoided getting stuck or grounded.
Maria Bonita's Taco Shop was the Desert Debriefing Point. Nice and needed. We were all pretty shattered after a long day in the dunes, so we chilled at the movies after dinner.
The fore mentioned Party was a surprise party for Fabiola, she's leaving us to educate herself in the big smoke of London baby!! She's a great friend and we all love her lots. She's gonna be sorely missed when she leaves. Stay in touch Fabi, or we'll send Steve after you!!! xxx

"Holy sleepless nights Mattman"
Matt: Chris and Annie, from Guernsey, decided to gate crash my weekend and force me to do many boring things... like dance all night till 4am, bask in the sun on the beach, throw my car over dunes in the desert, eat bar-b-q food, socialise till the small hours, bounce around the gulf in a speed boat and crash the executive pool at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel!! They are a bad influence and I shan't be inviting them out again, they're dull Dull DULL!!!
It was a great weekend and thanks to all those who added to it. Thanks Mowenna and Jon for organising Thursday nights fun, Thanks to Steve for leading the Desert convoy, for attempting ridiculous dunes that no one in their right mind would drive over and for taking us out on the boat, Thanks to Vanda for being my Co-pilot, Thanks to JQ for the house party and Bar-B...
