UPDATE 20251124: The Tuesday Coffee Plan!

We will heading south east along the sabkha and trails to get into the desert proper before zig zagging back north west to drive on the outer edge of the dune field. On the edge here and heading westwards the dunes are very long range so we can enjoy cruising along the large long dunes and switching between them at a moderate pace.

As we start heading more to the north, we will have a change in terrain and a chance to race along the super flat vegetation free sabkha areas in the dark before making a u-turn and heading back towards the foxes dens via the dune field.

Once arriving there, we will put out the chairs, brew up some coffee, and chill for half an hour before taking a high speed trip to the exit via the 'Highway to Home' path linking a number of sabkhas together.

Thanks for coming out last night everyone. Was great mid week break to grab a coffee and sample many different karaks with you all.

In my excitement I forgot to take any photos after deflating.. 🤦

We pretty much followed the game plan, sticking to the long range dunes and staying high so we could get a nice view of the surrounding areas. It was a nice touch having a low hanging red cresent moon in front of us everytime we were heading westwards. Overall we had a great speed and made a long distance for a night drive!

Great driving and team work! Hope to see you all for a drive again soon.
