The aim of this trail was to see what are the contructions like in a region that we loved so much : CHABROUH

Another aim was to compare between wheels and tyres and their respective traction on mud, snow, water etc...

The snow was 2m high at some places and we literally lost eachother if it wasnt for the radios that we carried.

Then the terrain became a bit harsh, which gave us and our landies joy in our hearts and our engines respectively.

Seems that people are right. We are not Land Rover fans, we are Land Rover Fanatics.

...The Chabrouh Dam. Look at the size of the supports they are putting inside the mountain. Nothing looks familiar anymore here. We just hope that the profit the dam will bring to the folks here will equal the harm they did to the beauty of this place.
