@Lorenzo Candelpergher I need to cancel my desert drive with you as an urgent meeting has come up for me tomorrow morning. Kindly excuse me.

ADNOC Service Station | Al Wathba (890)

is perhaps the nearest petrol station which is around 17 KM (26 minutes) away from the meeting point. So plan accordingly.

alternatively this might be in the way if coming on E30 ADNOC Service Station | Al Dafra (949)
https://goo.gl/maps/bPASW4jtgcUK9Ls9A

and this one on E11: ADNOC Service Station | (171)

If anything near please let us know.

Damn this drive just gone full in seconds 🤪

seems like everyone was waiting for this drive and had there fingers ready to click going 

Morning @Lorenzo Candelpergher I can’t make it as my car is showing some issue , it drives but goes on limp mode . Tried to remove the battery wires but doesn’t change anything . Sorry can’t drive with this risk . Really feeling bad as I was waiting for this drive badly and last minute my car doesn’t move properly 🥲.

What a fabulous drive! Even more exciting than what Lorenzo had billed it to be while posting. If I was (a bit) tired after a 90 mins drive to the meeting point following a long Friday escapade, there wasn't any hint of it left by the time we reached the Wathba Lake - the short ride was thoroughly refreshing and promising a even more fantastic drive that lay ahead. 

Fantastic it was. A few refusals and stucks actually gave the much needed breather from the continuous fast paced, adranaline filled drive. Didn't realise how fast the time flew-by with us covering 95 KMs - incredible! Thanks @Lorenzo Candelpergher for curating yet another gem of a drive - will remember it for a long time. thanks @Christian Andras and @Dodi Syahdarfor the support. 

@Rawad, @JeromeFJ, @Looper, @Mario Cornejo, @Lawrence_Chehimi was an absolute pleasure meeting and driving with you gentlemen. Thank you and hope to see you soon.

@Lorenzo Candelpergher, this drive was amazing and for sure to keep in the records !

Every thing was there. Beautiful empty spaces, endless climbing and side sloping, breathtaking crest crossing, deep narrow bowls, steep slip face descents ... it was a real festival !

The sand was compact at the beginning, and became rapidly softer with the sun rising (and the 2 Patrols making their ways ;)) and it was real pleasure to drive through these almost virgin areas, with no tracks, and no sight of any other convoy. 

The short and compact convoy was in perfect configuration, focused on your lines, and following the intense pace with no hesitation.  @Christian Andras, @Ranjan Das, @Lawrence_Chehimi, @Rawad, @Looper, @Mario Cornejo, @Dodi Syahdar, it was a pleasure driving with you all.

Thanks again @Lorenzo Candelpergher for taking us full throttle through this beautiful itinerary !

Thanks @Lorenzo Candelpergherand everybody for the amazing drive, the first hour was definitely one of the best drives I've ever had. It has been so long since I red lined my Patrol, and the mix of Intermediate, Abu Dhabi and @Lorenzo Candelpergher made it the perfect combination.

I'm really sorry I had to exit out early, I guess at a certain point we got used to Intermediate drives and didn't expect it will be that thrilling especially for my passengers.

I hope we have such drives with super large dunes and endless side sloping and criss crossing more often.

@Christian Andrasthanks for the dramamine pill you gave to my passenger (not sure if this is the correct name).
