Loved the terrain and it was really nice to follow your tracks. We had all the required elements for a fewbie drive and enjoyed every moment. Thank you @Salim Akhtar for the CF role and @Tareckfor sweeping the convoy. The drive went on smooth from start to the end with very minimum refusals. Thanks to @Emanuel @Jessica Lambert @Suresh K @Federico Galbieri @Adam James @JERINE_B @Haitham Khattab @JDub for making the drive eventful. Thank you all once again and see you soon.

Popular Post JeromeFJ Posted May 21, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Thank you all for joining this morning ! We started quietly from the Mahafiz area, with some portions of track and small dunes as a warmup, and soon, we found the first large bowls. Excellent terrain to practice side sloping, control your momentum, and enjoy the feeling of driving on an incline, or going down a steep descend in the soft sand. Everyone was doing well, gaining confidence bowl after bowl. @JERINE_B lost his concentration at one point and got stuck in a precarious position. It was the only serious stuck of the day, it was cleared with a few shovels, and an excellent teamwork. Then we reached this very scenic area between Fossil Rock and Faya. The group went through the tight bowls and ridges with no issue at all, enjoying the view, and still keeping their focus on the tracks. After a photogenic break close to Little Fossil Rock, we made our way to the high dune of Faya. A wide empty face to practice the long climbs, and adjust the gears and the power of the car. @Jessica Lambert had the motivation to try different combinations to push the Prado as high as possible, but at a point the power/weight ratio of the car imposes its own limit. We made other attempts on the main face of the dune, but the cross tracks, the soft sand, and the power limitations of some of the first cars made it difficult. At this point, I realised that @JDub had exchanged the driver seat with his young son. This is of course absolutely not acceptable. For obvious reasons, it can be dangerous for this car and for the rest of the convoy. You can read more on this topic on This incident cleared, we gave up the high climbs as the high temperature was starting to show effect on the cars, and we reached quietly to the exit point, enjoying the views of the desert with the mountains in the background. @Emanuel @Jessica Lambert @Suresh K @Salim Akhtar @Federico Galbieri @Adam James @JERINE_B @Haitham Khattab @JDub @Tareck Very well driven all of you. We had only one serious stuck with shovelling, and the conditions were not easy. @Salim Akhtar thank you for the CF, and for coming from AD, @Tareck thank you for the very reliable sweep, and special thanks to @Shaaz Sha for supporting me today, with all his experience and guidance. It was a beautiful way to start the weekend, enjoy the rest of it ! 7 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 Thank you @JeromeFJ, @Shaaz Sha, @Salim Akhtar and @Tareck for a wonderful first Fewbie drive. Good fun and getting more comfortable with riding narrow ridges and cross overs. Posted some pictures in the gallery https://carnity.com/gallery/category/1362-fewbie-mahafiz-sharjah-21-may-2022 @Salim Akhtar, I tried finding that receipt but no luck. Do ask for a quote and then best price. Did anyone see those camels on the highway out of the desert? 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Stats from our drive. Wod that distance be about normal for a fewbie drive? Interesting elevation profile. Correct elevation profile. I had other drives in that profile. This looks better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
