Morning Fewbie Plus Desert Drive - Big red-Faya Crossing - Sharjah - 24 Sep 2022

[Hisham Masaad]

Drive plan

Most of the time we enter the desert, keep moving in the same area, and exit from the same. This time the plan is different. Planning to enter from the big red side, move to the pink rock, cross the road to the sweidan area. Cross sweidan to reach faya, to have some fun. However, depend on how we perform, things might change, accordingly.

Great job everyone, new fb+ and old ones. Thank you for joining, and special thanks to drivers from Abu Dhabi. Started almost on time, with little delay due to foggy weather. The plan was as mentioned earlier to start with big red and finish by faya, crossing pink rock and Sweidan area. Unfortunately, with the news received that both are surrounded with fences, plan changed. We spent some time warming up on big red dunes, and then the actual fun transferred to badayer. Amazing performance by everyone, with few refusal, one stuck and one pop out. Thank you very much @Ranjan Dasfor supporting us, @Ashutosh Garg for the powerful and full adherence SL and @Sunil Mathewfor sweeping us, till the loss of the flag of Ranjan Das. Wish you @Salim Akhtar @Ignacio Quindós @Sam K @Haitham Khattab @Naim Aoun @Tareq Al Turq @Imran Kashif @Senthil Kumar @takeshi sobue nice week end, and look forward to see you again in sand. Below summary of the drive.

Great drive as usual Hisham. @Ranjan Das your instructions to get the car from that ditch were impressive; I never thought he will come out without being winched out or on all 4 wheels  Unfortunately no one had a camera handy to document how tilted that car was.. Good job. 

See you next time.
