Night Fewbie Plus Desert Drive - Al Khatim New Moon Protocols: Phase ZERO - 18 Feb 2026

[Suneedh Wrangler]

Another great drive with @Luke K P and @ChrisW ! 

Had some refusals, but got sorted quickly (thanks to the expert guidance). The criss-crosses were scary at first but then started getting the hang of it. 

Looking forward to the next drive!

We had a great FB+ drive for first night of Ramadan.

Minimal cross tracks, big dunes, quiet area.

Really nice high ridge riding from @Suneedh Wrangler and @Nabeel Abdul Rahman on your FB+ debut!

Even with the couple of refusals we had, most importantly was that all of them were safe refusals, with easy quick recoveries. Thanks @ChrisW for talking through the recoveries to make sure they were done gently.

We covered 50km of terrain, looking forward to seeing you guys on the next one!

Lovely mid-week drive there. @Luke K P great lines as always, and just the right amount of increase in speed/complexity to step us into FB+. 
 

@Suneedh Wrangler and @Nabeel Abdul Rahman - that was well driven, well done. Important part for me was that everything was safe, and you had great instincts for accepting the situation and not trying to stretch a bad line into a worse situation. When we do ridge crossings as a short convoy it can be quite dynamic and sometimes quick decisions have to be made on when to turn off/turn down, and when to follow someone or move to a clear area safely instead. You both showed good instincts on these points.
