Morning Fewbie Desert Drive - Sweihans West Side - Abu-Dhabi - 18 May 2025

[Chrismayer]

Huge thank you to all for today, my first fewbie drive. A clear step up and very grateful for the welcome, understanding of my newbie mistake (muppet for not tightening the tire valve, thanks @Andrei S for the quick air!), great leadership of @Frederic and good laughs along the way. Always thanks to the support team, @Andrew John Melvill and @Zed  whose tips and advice are greatly valued.

Great FB drive this morning, cleared the stress of the week and ready to face the next one! Thanks @Frederic and @Zed to all on the convoy well driven today with no stucks or refusals, just two pop outs that were dealt with quickly. Here is our route today.

Great Drive! thanks all!

@Zed mentioned death bowl and we got a bowl, I mentioned popouts and we got popouts ...be careful with your spells

We went West, but it seems the West was a bit green 🤣. 
 

A great morning out, and always a great laugh, which I like the most about these drives. Everyone drove extremely well today. 
 

I marked that weird blowhole in my GPS: we should definitely head back there with a short convoy to make several loops. 
 

The original plan was to head further south, but as we faced some delays due to pop outs i decided to stay closer to the Tilal Sweihan area. 
 

See you all soon in the sands again !

Definitely it was an enjoyable drive @Frederic and team. Some of the terrain is good for Intermediate level, including that Andrei Bowl we newly discovered 😄 After a recent 120°C engine temp drive, I was OCD on monitoring engine temp that I lost the convoy cos enjoying the pace slowly 😂 Nevertheless, WhatsApp location to the rescue 😆  Been awhile,  but glad to see the Fewbies were very careful and good drivers. Am sure they will advance with more practice, then we can enjoy the real Death Bowl 😄🔥
