Good morning @Paul Eldho and @Yurybel. If you wish to join tomorrow's AM drive I can add you to the convoy. Please confirm if OK. Thanks

Dear Desrtnauts

following a week of teasers for tomorrow's drive, and according to the drive's theme dedicated to a book about the relationship between desert and mankind, the track has been laid out to start from a heavily anthropized part of Sweihan's desert, to cross pristine areas, yet still adjacent to farms and tracks, and end at the crossroad between wilderness and township, at the beautiful Nahil Lake, and Nahil town.

The convoy order will be the following:

@Giacomo in Second Lead

@Carl Stanley at #3

@Myrko at #4

@Zsolt at #5

@Shary at #6

@Hani crest king at Center

@Diego at #8

@vinayak at #9

@Abhishek Chikara at #10

@topgear at #11 and 

@Aser in Sweep.

The starting time should be my usual 8:00AM, which I have found is not that much hooter then leaving at 6:00AM, and most of all, as the day progresses and warms up, will make us truly feel the strength, power and unforgiveness of our beloved desert. Enjoy your Saturday evening.

Amazing drive! And excellent drivers! Had a ton of fun and learned a lot of new skills ! Thanks @Ale Vallecchi @Hani crest king @Aser for superb team! 
 

I really enjoyed this convoy moving along nice dunes with a stunning view at the end.

 

Bravo!

Thanks for the great drive everyone ! It was mainly smooth flowing with very few refusals, or stuck. It was certainly strange to see a sedan in the middle of the desert !

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for leading the drive, @Aser for the sweep so that no one gets left behind and @Hani crest king for keeping the middle of the pack together. 
 

have a good week ahead everyone !

It was a great drive and always enjoyable exploring the desert with @Ale Vallecchi giving us a different perspective that the desert needs. @Aser a peace of mind to always have you in the convoy. 
That caprice sedan in the middle of nowhere definitely has a Las Vegas Hollywood story behind it, great pace and flow from the convoy which made the morning drive even better. More pictures uploaded in the gallery
