Rob S Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 Hi @JeromeFJ I am signing out of the drive. Although now free of Covid, my ability to wake up in the morning and have focus and attention is still difficult. Look forward to joining you again soon! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeromeFJ Posted July 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 Dear Desert Drivers, The long weekend is approaching, and the drive of tomorrow. Thank you for being courageous enough to start with an early wake-up call to spend 4 hours in a hot and dusty environment! We will have a very strong convoy tomorrow, and we will try to make the most of it. We will cross the area called Middle Earth. I don't know really where it comes from, but it suits well for this vast stretch of desert between Solar Park and Faqa. We will have 3 to 4 sets of dunes, separated (or connected) by sabkhas. Dunes will be mostly technical, with higher sand formations in the Little Sweihan area. The soft sand will require all your skills and concentration to maintain momentum. Extra caution will be needed on the ridges and during criss crossing, to keep the balance of your car and maintain a precise driving line. Be prepared to cover some distance as the sabkhas will easily credit additional km. If we progress well we can cross the high dunes of Faqa in the last part of the drive, and exit on the AD side. @Mohamad Anwer @Gertjan @RiaanJH @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler @Pacific @Joseph Raju @ASAD. @Mark D @Karthik Raptor @Ranjan Das I will issue the convoy order by the end of the afternoon, please let me know in case you changed your plan. @Anoop Nair,only remaining WL, I can accept you to the drive, please confirm. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
