Drive Details

Level:  Intermediate and above

When:  26th March  2021, Friday

Meeting time: 6:00 AM (SHARP - Without any exceptions).

Meeting Point: https://goo.gl/maps/jtZXG4XXN56exRBU6

Action Plan: 

Faqa is without doubt one of the most scenic areas that we can venture off road. It has everything, stunning dunes, beautiful greenery and of course, sunsets to die for. But don’t pay too much attention to that as this area also has difficult terrain that will test your off-road skills. We have great technical dunes and the other side of Faqa offers razor sharp long rage dunes that scream out for us to bash them down with our skid plates as we ride atop of them.

How far we go and how fast we see it will, as always, depends on you and the convoy.

Are you with me? Yalla!!

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: 10:00 AM

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

Good morning all,

Due to the cancelation of @Luca Palanca Falsini's Extreme Drive we have decided to split this drive into two convoys in order to accommodate those drivers who had signed up for the Extreme Drive.

As such I have increased the RSVP limit to 20. The RSVP will close on Thursday pm as per usual and convoy numbering etc announced shortly thereafter.
