Dear Desertnauts while I was preparing to enjoy a nice and relaxing Newbie drive tomorrow afternoon, following @Hisham Masaad's lead, I have been informed that Hisham is not feeling well and has had to withdraw from this drive. Therefore, I have been moved from a Sweeping to a Leading position, and will take care of the drive, with the support of a fine bunch of experienced drivers, such as @munkybizness, @Naim Aoun, @Mahmoud Taha and @Ignacio Quindós. Wishing Hisham a speedy recovery, I will do my best to take the convoy on an interesting drive, on what should be a relatively "empty" area (as I would expect on a Friday afternoon), perhaps marked by a few tracks from previous weekends' drives, but generally very enjoyable. We will enter from Tawi Nazwa's farms, dive deep into the dunes further away from Pink Rock, moving closer to this landmark, before heading toward "the big dune before Big Red" (as it's called, for lack of better names) and Big Red itself. We should exit after attempting some climbs of Big Red's easier slopes, in time to enjoy the sunset from the dune opposite Badayer, where so many tourist companies take their guests at this time of the day. The convoy will line up with three Newbies behind each of the higher rank drivers, as follows: @Naim Aoun in Second Lead @MohamedSherif at #3 @Juan R at #4 @Theo09 #5 @Mahmoud Taha at the first Central position @LKP at #7 @essam ibrahim at #8 @MikeSpillane at #9 @Ignacio Quindós at the second Central position @fayez at #11 @Bashar Beasha #12 @Ahmad Neratat #13, and @munkybizness in the Sweep position. Before the start of the drive, there will be a briefing for the whole convoy, with particular attention to the Absolute Newbies that have chosen to join the drive. Make sure you all have a charged radio. We will take Carnity channel #4 (446.081). Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, to start the weekend together.

Let me know of any changes in your plan preferably before Friday 9 pm. The plan is to reach the Nagrah Hill as a midpoint and loop back north of the starting point! everything in between is Surprise!

Thanks @Zixuan Huang - Charlie for the above feedback. I recalled that Hisham also has the Vortex Head fitted on his FJ. Do you mind sharing (via 055 897 0942 - my mobile) where you bought and got the snorkel installed? Cheers

@Warren Flay Congrats with being our 45th nationality in the club ! See you soon on one of the drives !

You have to choose buddy 🤣

I am both Venezuelan and Chilean (mi Jeep is from Chile, jajaja)

Amazing to see such a diversity in the club. I guess we all have one thing in common: We made the UAE our home away from home, and as an expat we need to get out, explore, travel, and meet friends, colleagues, buddies, that makes us feel as our home is here. I feel very blessed to have met so much amazing people yet, and look forward every day in meeting more !

@Hisham Masaad I hope you feel better soon. If you need anything don't hesitate to call me please. I am sorry though I won't be able to join. I do the Newbies so I can take my little girls but they are also under the weather... so no drive for me as well. Thanks and sorry again @Ale Vallecchi
