@JeromeFJ any chance you can squeeze 1 more in?
I joined the wishlist first on Monday, but didn't get moved onto the drive when @Zubail left.

I will add you @Carl Stanley

Detour on the road close to meeting point. Continue to the next U turn,  and then entre right at the mosque.

Thank you for another enjoyable drive, @JeromeFJ - action right from the first minute! Thank you as well to @Luke K P and @Bjoern for supporting - your patient guidance during my brief attempt at off-roading in 2H was most welcome!

 

Have a good weekend all.

Beautiful sunrise drive. Some really nice golden hues on the sand. 

The whole convoy kept moving smoothly while enjoy some of the sidies on the classic big dunes of Sweihan.

We crossed paths with a few different convoys throughout the morning, and fun time seeing some of the lines they were taking. There was a couple of minor refusals but nothing a quick shovelling couldn't fix 💪thx @Bjoern!

Once we arrived at Nagra we took a couple of new routes ( for me ) to climb the big dunes there and got to enjoy some fantastic views... And ended off our trip with some camels just hanging out nearby before exiting in Nahel.

Great driving everyone! See you all again soon 💪

Thank you @Luke K P for the perfect summary., and for sweeping the convoy.

You were all excellent yesterday, and we were able to maintain a nice flow cruising these big dunes, making the drive very enjoyable for all.

Great job from @Bjoern supporting the few refusals with accurate guidance. Well done @Carl Stanley for your first FB, you were directly pushed into a higher level. @Misha Puskar, @Martin M, nice way to come back after some time out of the sand. @Michael asir, your driving is accurate, very well done. @ChrisW you had the possibility to push the throttle, I'm sure you enjoyed it. @essam ibrahim, great improvement since our last drive together, happy to see that. @Ahmed Farouk @Zulfikhar Naiyar @Beide Worku, good to see you after a long time. @Aser thank you for the 2nd lead, adjusting my lines when needed

See you all very soon !

Thanks @JeromeFJ, it was such a great introduction to Fewbie drives and what a location!

Definitely worth the early start and long drive to the location.

 

Looking forward to the next one!

@Emanuel, I took out the traction control module this drive and what a difference!

I felt a lot more control! Thanks for the tip!
