    I typically don't drive for more than 2 hours, but yesterday it was different. We stopped a lot so that convoy can do a lot of sidees. To be honest, I sometimes forget how thrilling it used to be once up on a time. There was however a long recovery period and I must say @Natalia Guerrero you have shown tremendous grit and determination in overcoming that bowl. It took some effort, but I feel the sense of achievement you would have felt would have been more than compensated for the temporary setbacks. That is in essence is the off-roading story - know what you and your car cannot do, and do it anyway. @ZEESHAN MIRZA on your first drive you were fantastic, did not seem like you were there for the first time, except on the sidees. Remember, never do anything as a reaction to the situation. Everything has to be pre-determined and be ready for to change course, but it as to be active not reactive. We will always get a lot of chances to do everything we want to do many many times over. So, I often say in the briefings is that "Don't drive like it's your last one" A big Thank you to @J-P L for the tremendous support not only as a sensible second lead but also guiding the stuck cars with a patience I can only dream of. @Zulfikhar Naiyar you were superb as the center forward, anchoring the convoy in the middle and making sure everyone stayed safe. Some Photos my passenger took during our drive, they are shared in the gallery. Last but not the least, @MikeT, @Gab, @Igor Krezic, @Mohammad Javed, @Luis Acostamadiedo, @Mark J, @Taka & @Nikki1007 a big thank you for joining the drive. I hope you enjoyed the drive. Till next time, have a great one.

    Carnity Off-Road Club Drive Description 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. 🌙 🏁 Drive Details Level 🏁 Fewbie Plus and above Meeting Time 20:00 Meeting Point 📍 OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS Coordinates: 24.403228, 55.377750 Radio Channel Channel 10 — 446.231 MHz Type of Car Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8–10 inches of ground clearance.

    It was a fantastic drive as always! Thank you so much, @Looper, @J-P L, and @Zulfikhar Naiyar, for all your content support. It was truly inspiring to see @Looper encouraging and supporting @Natalia Guerrero, helping her reach the top of the dune. And Natalia’s never-give-up attitude finally got her there! Such an amazing effort and a great example of teamwork and encouragement. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    I'm so sorry guys but I can't go. I’m feeling sick all night. I must have catched some kind of a kids's virus. @Looper I'm so sorry for this.

    Many thanks @J-P L, it was an amazing drive, well balanced with open dunes to wakeup everyone, technical terrain for the focus, and the tight bowls and sharp ridges of Little Sweihan for the thrill to finish ! You managed perfectly the lines and the timing making it a very fun and enjoyable morning ride! Great support and guidance from @ChrisW and @Rob S, and great company from @Ahmed Farouk and @Chema

    I would like the members in the support roles to join the group ride on https://sandscope.net/gpxapp/ our ride code will be NB0309. It does not need any install. Others can join as well if you like. I will announce when we start the drive to join the drive. PS: I am a newbie as well in this drive, because it will be my first drive on the stock unmodified LC 300. I have taken it into sand just a couple of time but never as a drive.

    Thank you to all who attended, the small size and skill of the convoy let us cover about 70lm. We first went towards al Faqqa arboretum and explored the larger dunes, then after a short break headed towards some technical dunes followed by a brief run through little sweihan, exiting at the Solar park side at qudra. Everyone drove well and i appreciated the support in getting off a crest (twice 😎). thanks to Chris for letting me lead this and Jerome for his advice, Rob was handy with his shovel and Chema and Ahmed drove well.
