Drive Briefing.

We will enter on the western side, driving along some sand track, before entering some dunes with a bit of vegetation.

After picking our way through here we will enter the BLUE zone where we will spend most of our time playing around on the ridges, finding some sidies and maybe testing time short but tight technical dunes.

Depending on the heat and the vibes, we will either push on and attempt some higher dunes before exiting at the east side of the camel racing circuit, or we will head due south and exit at the Tilal Resort.

Hello Luke. 

Apologies. But will have to pull out of the drive tomorrow. Slightly under the weather... Had hoped would get better through the day but that hasn't happened. 

Sorry again about the late update.
