COVID19 Compliant - Morning Fewbie Plus Desert Drive - Al Qudra to Mighty Lisaili Dunes - Dubai - 8 May 2021

[Lorenzo Candelpergher]

Drive Brief

The stretch of desert between Al Qudra and Lisaili offers infinite possibilities for desert off-roaders, ranging from small, super-technical dunes to long range, almost endless ridges. This drive will offer a taste of all these terrains at an Intermediate level, alternating more challenging technical stints to faster and more "driven" ones, enjoying the prevailing long range dune formations. There is however a specific place, where dunes become so high and so big that they well deserve to be named the "Mighty Lisaili Dunes". A majestic conformation which will be the perfect playground for breath-taking climbs and arduous passages, combined with adrenaline-packed long slide slopes, the gran finale for this drive, which will end at Lisaili Fort.

There is still time but it seems this will be a small group allowing for some serious pace! See you all at the dawn of Saturday. Can't wait!

Hopefully we make it to Lisaili this time 😃

Hello @Lorenzo Candelpergher sorry I’ve had a issue with my right shoulder and I’ll need to pull out from the drive, in fact might need to take a break for a bit as I get this sorted. I’ll miss out on what would have been my 1st fewbie+. Enjoy and see everyone sometime soon!
