Dear Desert Drivers, 

On Saturday morning, we will explore the South West part of Al Qudra. Starting from the track where most of us have done our Absolute Newbie drive, we will pass the Moon Lake, and start the drive with the tall dunes just behind. Nice rolling dunes to warm-up and enjoy the sunrise. Then we will cross the cycle path and the pylon track to enter the Ghantoot area. Expect more narrow dunes, sharp crests, soft sand. We will find our way along the long dunes cordon until we reach the fence making the end of this area. Depending on how we progress, we will either turn back a bit, and exit close to Bab al Shams, of reach more directly the E14 to the South. 

We have good chances to spot oryxes, have your camera ready !

I will finalize the convoy order tomorrow afternoon, let me know by midday in case you changed you plan.
