Morning Fewbie Desert Drive - "Cheap thrills - its a month end drive"- Qudra - Dubai - 25 Feb 2023

[Varun Mehndiratta]

Drive Plan

Last few weeks, with Liwa Crossing, awesome Sweihan trips and amazing tour tracking Tropic of Cancer, we have had some great times. It also means, many of us are running short of Home Ministry patience points as well as Cafu Dollars. 😀
 

Ofcourse the innate need to be out on sand and have some thrilling time still needs to satiated. This drive is specifically designed to address these elements. 

Through this drive, we will transverse through some of the most awesome long range dunes and ridges in Qudra in a fast paced drive, ensuring we have some fun time. 

And ofcourse being in Qudra means we get back home in time for that family lunch and earn some additional brownie points. 😀

Sure, Spicy Village is no CZN Burak, but then, it has its own cheap thrills, so let’s catch up to enjoy this drive through Qudra togather.  🔥🔥🤪

Whew!, it was a fastest finger first literally the way @Varun Mehndiratta 's drives gets totally booked out with ample people left in the dreaded WL column to make a full strength additional convoy. 😁

Enjoy guys, as it seems far fetched to get a 6-7 WL confirmed; but, I'll keep my hopes high and await.

That filled up fast, got pulled into a teams meeting and next I know it’s 10 past 7 and I’m frantically clicking reload to add to the waitlist ..

[Varun Mehndiratta]

Wow this went really fast,I last checked at 7:02 and it was already full …I thought I am rare one at @Carnity seems we have too many like minded cheap drivers 😀😀

Thanks all for RSVPing for the drive. I have been covering the planned route in pieces over many drives - one stretch go through complete route will be attempted for first time (atleast be me). On top of it, we have a really good mix of convoy - not all black and white 😀😀, m sure those in last drive will understand. So I am very excited and looking forward for this drive. Whether we reach to planned destination or not, one thing I can assure is that it’s going to be super fun -  all fast paced long range dunes and ridges. So get your racing shoes, shovels and ropes ready. 
 

We have a long list of WL Drivers, so please ensure you update RSVP at the earliest - I.e in case of any change in your plans. 
 

Have a nice week ahead, see you all over the weekend. Will update further details in due course.
