It has been for a while since I took the Newbies for a night dive at pink rock . I was so impressed by their performance and adherence to the rules of desert especially in the dark where almost most of the members in this drive it was their first time to drive in the night .no refusals no shovels no ropes and the only one what seemed stuck actually was not and simply the driver was so vigilant and didn’t fight gravity when missed the line and preferred to stop waiting for instructions to get out and it was out already. 
The red sand was semi wet still from last week rainfall and extra care was taken when tackling the terrain .

The first break was at Nazwa dune after we looped from behind the pink rock what an amazing view weather and chitchat. The kids and families where at most joy interacting and snapping their pictures for memory.

After that the night trumpet hit under the new lunar light heading toward big red and on the way the radio was almost silent except when I was testing its function 😄 which says it all . We lined up at the bottom facing the eastern face of the giant dark mountain and every one took a climb twice which fantastic to watch .  The last part of the trip took a crescendo touching the Fb level without crisscrossing and that was a suspense adrenalin peak before we line again for one last time before the exit finally .

I would say it was one of my best relaxing Newbie Night drives so it was I hope for all . 
 

Thank you all for coming and supporting each other and I wish every one a happy and prosperous new year 

Cheers 🌹

Thank you Dr @M.Seidam for the amazing night drive. Everyone drove really well and we had no issue at all - no spade, no rope, no stucks. The scenes during the breaks were great too. We also got prime seats to see 2 Super Safari steaming up the big red - not recommended for ourselves given the danger. Also thanks to @khlief for the sweep to ensure that no one is left behind. 

I always enjoy night drives. The darkness and stillness of the night has an added dimension. The drive back home is always calm and a good way to wind down a great day/week. Have a good break and new year everyone! I have added some photos in the Gallery too.
