Action Plan: A last minute, surprise desert drive, with a 2-hour time cap, in an area within Dubai's emirate, where we'll be looking for a relatively new track. There will be a mix of faster and technical driving, with an exit point in mind that, if all goes well, we may extend further. Perfect for a mid-week break on the sand. 

Approximate finish time: 06:00 PM

Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance.

What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Mandatory off-road gears: Tire deflator, tire pressure gauge, compressor, walkie-talkie radio, off-road flag, shovel, first-aid kit and fire extinguisher.

Thanks for a fun and spirited drive yesterday @Ale Vallecchi. Couldn't think of a better way to spend a Wednesday.

Didn't take too many photos as I was busy with my thousand gear changes but I did manage to grab a couple and have uploaded them into the gallery.

No ridge unridden! Thank you @Ale Vallecchi for a fun and safe drive, and thank you for the opportunity to try out being sweep for the first time. A somewhat technical yet fast paced drive, we had one horizontal cresting early on, twin stucks a little later (one requiring a couple of sharp tugs), a pop out, and finally some fuse issues. Lovely to have everyone working together to help each other, as is the spirit of this club. Every day is a school day on the sand!

You must have felt like a manic octopus! My hat goes off to you.

Too true but the three of us have a pretty poor effort in the mullet department 😜
