The plan is to hit two different technical dune cordons with a break in the middle at Cresent Moon Lake. The convoy list is as follows: See you all tomorrow for a briefing at 06h30, please ensure that your tires are deflated and flags up before then. We will be using CH 4 on the radios. - Today

This may be a bit too last minute guys, but would love to join tomorrow if possible. Still climbing the Carnity ranks and applied for fewbie plus this evening. Familiar and comfortable with the dunes of Sweihan from drives with other clubs. No problem is joining the drive this late is not possible:-) -

@Emanuel @Looper @_luke_ @Diego @Riyad @Danie @_Herman_ @Infaz @Krinesh @Noufal @Ahmed Farouk @Ash S. Dear Desert Surfers! The RSVP is now closed, looking forward to seeing you all in the morning! Some quick notes to get us organised: 1.) With the very kind support of Emanuel and Looper, we will split the convoy so we can run two small but perfectly formed groups across the sands. No racing or shenanigans planned, but we will run similar routes and aim to meet at the Ghafftein Bowl for 08:00 for a social break together. 2.) We will aim to be rolling by 06:45 - so please aim to have cars ready by 06.35 so we can do a quick brief and get rolling. 3.) Please see below the Convoy split - Convoy 1 will gather to the left side of the meet point, and Convoy 2 to the right side . 4.) Convoy 1 will be on Channel 10 (446.231), and Convoy 2 will be on Channel 9 (446.206). Meet Point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/DHWXGk57ijEAENYW9 / 24.360611, 55.401139 Thanks all - looking forward to seeing you! -

hi @ChrisW - i need to remove myself unfortunately from the drive, as some spare parts haven't arrived for the Jeep, so the workshop can't finish the car today. Enjoy the drive tomorrow! -
untilCoffee Club: Nahel Nights Starting from Sweihan, we’ll point the convoy east and go hunting for the best terrain we can find on the way toward Nahel. Expect a mix of bowls, long ridgelines, power climbs and high switches, with plenty of opportunities to work the cars through bigger terrain while keeping the drive smooth and flowing. Somewhere along the way, we’ll find ourselves a suitably high dune, park up at the top and take a proper Coffee Club break with a view across the surrounding desert. After coffee, we’ll continue east and work our way toward the exit at Nahel Pumping Station. Big dunes, good views, and coffee in the middle of nowhere. Hard to complain. Camp chair is mandatory. No chair, no latte. 😎 And because it’s a school night… You’ll be home before midnight — assuming you live in Abu Dhabi. 🌙 MUST READ AND COMPLY Environmental Policy Offroad Flag Guideline Two Way Radio Guideline Off road Driving Etiquette's Emergency details for all off-roaders Off Road Driving - Roles & Responsibilities DRIVE DETAILS Level: Fewbie Plus and above Meeting time: 20:00 (SHARP - Without any exceptions) Meeting Point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/5pm8C349tJn5MnfT7 Co-ords: 24.382126, 55.390770 Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance.

@_luke_ thank you for coming back and getting me. Indeed google map does crazy stuff. after a long drive it was worth exploring these untapped dunes. With super soft sands every one drove like pro’s. @Giacomo it was good meeting you. @Piotr. thank you for the amazing videos and pictures. It was fun driving with you. @ChrisW thank you for guiding me on refusals and encouraging when done right. it was good night with some amazing cold coffee. -

Hello @Ale Vallecchi, unfortunately, I have to back out. Still fine tuning a few more things on my Jeep. Hope to see you on the next drives. Enjoy tomorrow. -

Dear Desertnauts A quick briefing for tomorrow's drive. Get ready for a possibly challenging "technical" drive, on soft sand, and through tight dunes, with bowls, low but very wavy crests, and some vegetation, especially closer to the Qudra area. On the way back to the "Eye of Sauron" we should find the time to drive on some long range, taller dunes, where we'll do our best to speed up and practice switcing as well as side-slopes. The convoy at the moment looks like this: @Mahmut in Second Lead @Jerome at #3 @Giacomo at Center @Hartzel at #5 @Shary at #6 and @J-P L in Sweep. See you tomorrow afternoon. Have a nice end of the week.
