Event details

Drive Details

Level:  Fewbie Plus and above (all levels)

Meeting time: 3:30 PM (SHARP - Without any exceptions)

Meeting Point:https://maps.app.goo.gl/cRDSWUBTXBGPQ5wv9

Action Plan: Continuing in the tradition of Tolkien inspired drives, after last week's excursion through the gap between Fangorn Forest (of Ghaf trees) and the Misty Mountain (of solar mirrors), and around Isengard (the solar tower's Eye of Sauron), this time we will enter the depths of the forest, to trace our way back, entering from the Gap of Rohan (Faqa's northern sabkha, just south of the solar tower) and taking the path leading back to safety, in the vicinity of the Innovation Center. If possible, an even more challenging technical route, with soft sand everywhere, including the ridges and bottom of the low but very close and complex array of dunes and bowls, which we'll cross from the slip-face, throughout the drive. We'll be aallowing ourselves not more than 3 hours to escape Isengard through the forest of Ghaf trees, or else......

Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance.

What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, face mask, rubber gloves, enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Approximate finish time: 06:30 PM

P.S. Only join if you have a compressor to inflate your tires after the drive.
