Drive Report Indeed it was a pitch black and a challenging drive last night especially around big red . At second December cafeteria every one was on time ready and after the brief we headed toward our first “pitch black loop” around the eastern side of pink rock on the track passing jabal nazwa and looping around the 🐊 rock back the western side of pink rock were the guys enjoyed climbing the loops before we ascend the rock as usual. That was the warming up loop. Now the eyes and senses are accustomed to get to the next level bit faster and bit challenging ascending and descending in roll coster kind of fashion and here we encountered couple refusals which was expected and the first thing we did when down back to the track is to check our tire pressure along with a coffe break . now comes the most interesting and challenging part of the whole trip and for this one I have to admit that despite the challenge every one was determined to take the challenge. Counterclockwise we looped around big red reaching as top as possible negotiating its Bowles up there in the dark in the order of west , south and east and back to north this last one we encountered a nasty stuck when @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke got his Pajero wedged in a tricky situation in wedged between the limbs of a V shape bowl. probably this was the only true stuck of the night. A team work spirit buzzed and acted immediately for help in timely and coordinated fashion after the plan of recovery explained and set ready. Luckily we had two winch enabled cars thanks to @Ignacio Quindósand @Zulfikhar Naiyar were a double winching was set to bring the Pajero one third of a distance up the hill to clear it’s rear and it was done safely. After that Luke could reverse it and luckily without winching and with the proper instructions came forward and exited by self recovery. On the way to exit I thanked all participants and the listened to their positive feedback which was confirmed by the big smiles while inflating . @Ignacio Quindós thank you for being an excellent second lead and all the help when ever was needed. my regards to Ignacio junior 😉 @Sunil Mathew thank you for anchoring the first to the second half of the convoy . Fantastic . I hope your son had enjoyed the black loops 😉 @Benjamin amazing sweep and communication as usual and thanks for keeping me informed always from the tail of the convoy as well as for the help in the last stuck as well . It was pleasure to meet for the first time both @Zulfikhar Naiyar and @Dinesh Kumar A very well done and thanks for sharing the passion. rest of the team @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke @Michael @MohamedSherif @Waqar Sarwarand @Krishna R you all did more than great guys. till we meet again take care and drive safe cheers seidam

Thanks everyone for all the guidance and support. My 4x4 was towed to the shop and diagnosed with a failed battery. It’s now been replaced and back on the road Thank you @Fabien Monleau@GauravSoni@Hisham Masaadand @Looper for the drive and help after the drive in trying to get the truck started. Looking forward to more drives in the future!

Great drive indeed this morning. This area is never disappointing, especially the second set, with the red sands and the mountains in the back, going through the dunes, the big bowls, the steep drops, and climbing step by step to the top of the majestic Faya dune. The first portion is less exciting I admit, but the smaller bowls and the long range dune are like little gems in the bushy area, and perfect places to practice before reaching bigger challenges . With the summer conditions, we were lucky to have the area for us, but also a very soft sand that was adding to the difficulties, especially at the back of the convoy. You went through these with smile and determination! @george charbel @Deepak Eswar @lucas amat @Juan R, excellent driving for all of you. Getting through this soft sand is not easy, and you did all very well. @DP1011, than you for the support at the back, guiding the participants when needed with clear indications. Thank you George and Deepak for the nice pics in the gallery Enjoy the rest of the weekend !

Thanks @JeromeFJ for the wonderful drive, really enjoyed the amazing views and lovely dunes... @DP1011 always nice to drive with you! A true support champion Good to see everyone , Have a nice weekend

Starting at 5 am, temperature is cool. We have a Newbie convoy. It is so nice to support all new Comers, to shift from a Junior to Senior positions and to realize all the acquired experiences, after so many refusals, stacked, pop out or other mechanical issues… Thanks to @GauravSoniand @Looperfor leading us this morning and sharing their expertises, taking nice lines without never putting our Newbies into danger… Just enough for them to learn… Thanks to a great @Hisham Masaadin his support role… All our Newbies drove smoothly. I really hope to drive with all of you again, in higher groups… I wish you a nice week

@JeromeFJ - Amazing drive and fantastic way to end it with that Secret tall range dune - By the way, this was my 3rd with you !!!

The soft patches also offered some challenges which entire convoy accepted with enthusiasm! am sure, just like me, everyone else to enjoyed the morning with you - with some Rocks/ Sheep/ Dog/Rabbit and Rock shape rocks @george charbel - You did amazing on your second time Second Lead !!
