Dear Desertnauts

a few inputs for to prepare tomorrow's trip. 

We'll start at Faqa's sabkha, to be reached by turning right on the Dubai-Al Ain's road, shortly before arriving in Faqa. From here we'll cross an interesting group of short and packed dunes, with some taller crests, just overlooking the southern side of the Solar Tower. We'll then reach a sabkha, from which we'll enter a series of low, long dunes, separated by a couple of smaller sabkhas, leading to our entry to Little Sweihan. Here we'll ride up and down the full length of the cordons, until we'll stop to enjoy the sunset. The exit will take place through a sand track leading to the Innovation Center's glass pyramid at Solar Park.

The cobvoy order at the moment is the following:

@Andrew John Melvill in Second Lead

@khlief at #3

@Martin M at #4

@JohanE at #5

@Sandeep Nayar at the Center

@Giacomo at #7

@Zak_ at #8

@nithish468 at #9 and 

@mahesh in Sweep

Bring plenty of drinks, and double check your car's fluids, to prevent any issues of overheating.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow afternoon, with the goal of leaving as close to 3:30PM as possible. Enjoy the end of the week.
