Twilight Fewbie Desert Drive - Bermuda Triangle - Dubai - 27 May 2023

[Frederic]

DRIVE PLAN

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is an urban legend focused on a loosely defined region in the western part of the North-Atlantic Ocean, where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. 

In this installment, we will try to create a triangle-looking track somewhere between Solar Park and Lisaili. We will create three waypoints and try to reach them consecutively before exiting out.

Expect plenty of shoveling, this drive will test your drive skills and ability to focus !

I wanted to share the planned area for coming weekend. Below you can see the Bermuda triangle we are planning to concquer. 

The Idea will be to drive along the pylon track and make our way to Marker 1 (top of the triangle). Then move in a straight as possible line to Marker 2, and then further on to Marker 3, and from there back to Marker 1.

As you all know we don't usually drive in a straight line in the desert, so the challenging part will be to try to stick to that line as much as possible, even if that included going over slip faces and other obstacles  

This also means instead of the smooth flowing drives that i am usually well known for, this could be quite an intense drive with lots of struggles 😁

Anyways i am sure we will have fun in the sand as always and can afterwards print out a screenshot of our track and it will look 99% like below. Although that would be a real bonus

If you have not driven in the dark yet, no worries. If you have additional night lights on your 4x4 that will help but it's not mandatory as you will be following the convoy anyways.

See you soon !
