@Issam Atra, @Sreenath G & @Haneef Thayyil for a couple of you it is going to be back-to-back drives with me. Tawi Nazwa is a place where inevitably the drives are going to be fast paced due to the terrain. We might go towards 2nd December cafe and check out a few dunes, but we will mostly confine ourselves between the dunes of Camel Rock and Big Red. There are many tall dunes, and we will perhaps check every one of them out. Do also double check your calendar, make good excuses, if necessary, in case you have any commitments that you are trying to ignore and be ready. We will publish the convoy order later on Saturday afternoon.

Hi, anyone going for camping at the meeting point? Weather should be Okish ... at least much better than when @Gok Krish and I camped on last weeks Razeen drive.

@Kenneth Bollhardt, @Haneef Thayyil, @Ishak, @Lalaji, & @Sreenath G thank you all for signing up for the drive. I will be posting the convoy order later in the week. Request you not to be a No-Show and instead rest well and arrive before time so that we can start by dawn. In case you think there are going to be any issues withdraw from the drive. The track I am going to try to do this week is the same one I did a few weeks ago with a FB+ drive. There will be some tall dunes at the start and thereafter we will explore some long-range dunes. I intended to keep the drive slightly faster paced and be prepared for the same. Our objective will be to avoid technical patches on the way as much as possible and reach as quickly as possible to Little Sweihan. We will exit at the Innovation Center at or about 9:30. You may expect a slight delay. @Mohammad Sayawoush Azad you are still Newbie and request you to wait till you are promoted to FB to sign up for these drives. There will be an announcement on the forum by @Gaurav when you are promoted, and you will get to know as well as everyone else in the club. Consider joining Newbie Drives in the meanwhile as they are equally fun to drive. There is a Twilight drive on Friday. Further the morning drive at Faya is going to be a lot of fun. Suggest you check those out for this week and let's catch up next week.

@Chaitanya D: Good evening Doc. Are we still on with this drive plan. If so, looking forward to location and convoy(?) order. Please

@Chaitanya D - this would be my second drive, so are you saying I should not join? I did feel confident and comfortable on my first drive with @DP1011 (Have done recreational buggy and ATV too, but only once in the Wrangler)

Congratulations @Deepak Eswar enjoy the new level

Another great adventure today with a great team, who made the drive fantastic. All arrived on time, I was the last one to arrive, briefing with all reminder points, and started moving. As usual mahafiz part was full of bushes, but the bowls worth to cross these bushes. Everyone did well, except one case with @essam ibrahim which was a good exercise to go through all the bowls after. And the only case where we have used shovels. After that all side slopes were done perfectly without issues. A break of about 10 minutes opposite fossil rock, and moved to the nice area of Faya. Few refusals, and reached al faya dune, which was totally churned and full of tracks. And since it was the end of the drive time, decided to exit. Great performance every one, and special thanks for SL @Emanuel you was really perfect SL. As usual @Benjamin great support for all drives. @Simon D very happy and glad to see you again, and as expected was a nice surprise for @Mohamad Anwer and @Abdelghani. Thank you again @essam ibrahim @Shiju Raju @Xavi Moyano @Ben Williams @Issam Atra @Srilakshman Karthikeyan @Haneef Thayyil @Juzer Gandhi @Abdelghani for joining. Look forward to see you again in sand. Nice weekend ahead Hisham

had to drop out sorry Fred. Cant get out for two drives this weekend sadly!
