Hi Jan,

thanks again for the comments and in particular the Google maps link. Just as a last comment it would be nice to have the individual tracks directly "clickable" by slightly changing the way tracks are linked, for example:

http://maps.google.com/?q=http://home.hetnet.nl/~lilian_jan_schreurs/mapoman/WShab.kmz instead of http://home.hetnet.nl/~lilian_jan_schreurs/mapoman/WShab.zip

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi Andreas. KMZ files are not recognised by webserver that I am using (don't ask me why not) and that's why I renamed them to zip files. The files on the www.maps.google.com are straight kmz files.

Hi Jan,

I recently discovered this page during our early Oman travel preparation phase, while it appears to be very helpful for our future plannings. Hence first of all thanks a lot for all the time you spent on the several tour descriptions, pictures and track recordings.

Considering the various tracks - is there an option to download all GPX-/KML-files at once, for instance in one big archive? For me it appears to be advantageous to concatenate the all in one large file, being able to selectively display them in Google Maps/Earth.

Thanks a lot,
Andreas

Already done if you go to http://home.hetnet.nl/~lilian_jan_schreurs/mapoman/OmanGoogiline.htm
You will see all the tracks that I have made available in Google Earth and all linked on a map. Just a listing of kmz files has no value as you would not know what the files are all about. These tracks are also made public on Google maps. If you search for "Oman Travel Map" and add Schreurs to the sarch you will find everything listed as well. The link is http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=109906013319078938361.0004694d79bcfb1a0861d&ct=onebox&cd=20&cad=docsearch,cid:16382215104652695411&geocode=FQvvXQEdi9dtAw

Hallo Jan,
Een geweldige site heb je, met veel informatie. Leuke tripjes om te doen in de vrije dagen. Heb je de tracks misschien ook in GPX formaat zodat ik ze gelijk kan downloaden in mijn Garmin GPS 60CSX. Ik ben niet zo handig in het overzetten van KML naar GPX, althans ik ben er nog niet achter gekomen hoe dat te doen. Hopelijk kun je me helpen.
Geweldig werk hebben jullie gedaan! Bedankt!

Heb voor Google Earth Format gekozen omdat dit heel snel bijna de universele standaard geworden is. Je kunt die files heel makkelijk omzetten met http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/gpsbabel/
Groeten Jan

Hallo Jan,
Wat een fantastische site heb je gemaakt ! Wij wonen al 5 jaar in Dubai en hebben heel veel wadi's al gezien en komen nu pas achter jouw site !
Wonen jullie nog in Oman ? Wij willen aankomend weekend de Chains gaan doen en daarna Wadi Bani Awf...........Echter de weersvoorspellingen zijn slecht, veel regen. Is dit raadzaam. Kamperen in de Wadi Hawasinah.......is daar een kans op Flooding ??? We komen er mett de Oman Off Road niet echt goed uit of die kampeerplaats 'veilig' ligt. Dank alvast voor het advies.
Vriendelijke groeten uit Dubai

De regen hangt samen met een depressie in het noorden. Kamperen in wadis zou ik niet doen. Ik zou ook rijden door de bergen vermijden. Veel wadis zijn smal en er zal altijd wel eentje zijn die water voert. De scholen waren eergisteren dicht. Tot nu toe geen echte problemen, maar veel wadis hebben gestroomd. Ik zou het zelf niet doen.

I was interested to see your mention of the crashed RAF Venom on Jebel Akhdar. You were kind enough to give a link to my article on the subject, but the one you give is out of date. I give an account of the Jebel Akhdar War and the Venom site on: http://l.garey2.googlepages.com/home
We also visited the site on 30 August 2008, exactly 50 years after the crash.
Thanks

Will update the link and would love to add a bit more there. Could you tell me more about that visit and perhaps the story around that.

Hi!

Firstly thanks for such a great website.

I read your Dec2006 trip through the Umm As Samim. We're planning to follow a similar route this December with 3 cars.

Have you heard any more about the requirement for a permit to go near the Saudi border?

Also - is the track in this area clear? Around here there's a long gap between your waypoints, but you describe a good gravel track - is it reasonably straighforward to follow, keeping an eye on the compass?

Thanks,

Steve
Geantwoord op: 15:00 18-11-2008

No I don't know about permits. We have been there last year. Have not heard of somebody being stopped. The track is absolutely straightforward. No need for compass. There is no other way un less you want to conquer some dunes

Hi

I have read about your travels to Oman. We would like to go hiking for a day. But we do not have a 4-wheel drive. Is it possible to reach starting point of W6 or W6a with a saloon car.? Can you recommend other short hikes in Oman (4-7 hours). We are in Oman in early october.

Riyam Park to Muttrah Walk. This is a great trek and we have done it a few times now. However, the last time we did this walk, we were greeted by a pack of very wild dogs (about 5 or 6) at the end when you climb the hill and are overlooking the cemetery - we had entered their territory. They started closing in on us, but luckily one of the others was able to throw a rock at one of the dogs and they went away. Very frightening experience and glad we made it out ok. Please make sure you do not do this trek alone and be sure to tell others where you will be.

Pardon me to call your page (The Encyclopaedia of Oman) as it covers most of the Omani states.

Thanks once again,

Dad- youre latest story on the gravesite is one which fascinates me most. Indeed- a splendid extended essay or topic worth examining in more detail. Its great that some veterans have responded- maybe they could give a more detailed description of what really happened? x
