The Wadi Bih Run was set up by John Gregory of the RAK hash back in 1993
. Having hiked and climbed extensively in the area , the Laird of RAK (John
Gregory) was perusing
his realm & the Wadi Biyh road from a mountain peak when the idea gelled for a cross
Emirate relay run.
John Gregory was the instigator and mainstay of the run over a period of
10 years and many thanks are due to John ( aka Pecker ) for
keeping the event going in this period .
Now the term Wadi Bih is not a military style alphabetical referencing
system as there are
no Wadis A or C. Actually I am told that Bih is Arabic for revelation
which describes the opening up of the wadi from a very relatively narrow
section to the wider areas in the interior
