Great great Morning! Highlight was the tug of war!!!!!!!! 1 2 3, 1 2 3!

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for this amazing drive, I would call it actually a "raid".. 4 hours plus of moving time through great and varied terrain.. Haven't done such a technical terrain in a while. It was as usual a great pleasure to see the good friends and co-drivers.... Looking forward for next time, Have a great week all..

Dear Desert Nomads, @Emanuel @Issam Atra @Cole bertasso @Ishak and @Lalaji great way to finish off my drive weekend, although we had a few issues at the start, we overcame them with smiles and banter to get us all moving off in the right direction (towards the sand). Due to a later start than planned we had to adjust our route but still managed to tackle some nice technical dunes until turning up the heat on the mid to long range dunes which you all handled admirably. We did have some spectators during a couple of stucks but they did not offer to help lol although did shout encouragement through roars and grunts Special shout out to @Emanuel for an excellent second lead, you did an awesome job mate to keep everyone on a nice smooth track, thanks and appreciated. A big thankyou to @Lalaji for sweeping the convoy, you did an amazing job of keeping me informed every step of the way. I hope you all enjoyed the drive as much as I did and I hope that you all have a great rest of your weekend and look forward to seeing you all again very soon in the sand

it was great to feel the sand again after 5+ months away from the desert. thanks @Ale Vallecchi for this lovely extended drive. thanks everyone for helping me recover out of this nasty soft sand pocket at the start. see you soon

Thanks @Frederic for a beautiful morning. We enjoyed a lot. Thanks for the cool pics.

C'mon chaps! The early bird gets the worm!

Thank you very much @Abhilash Kottakkal for your help🙏 Training cresting while having the best possible team around was an opportunity hard to resist Thank you @Chaitanya Dand @Simon D for amazing experience and choosing the best of Sweihan.

Apologies for missing out the drive today. Late night party is a recipe for disaster 😅

Hi @Charbel. Welcome to the drive. See you tomorrow

Thanks for the lovely drive @Davie Chaseand the support team.... @DP1011 @Looper @Dodi Syahdar @Ranjan Das the whole convoy was superb ... had great fun ... looking forward for the next drive ..... have a gr8 weekend

hi @Ale Vallecchi any chance for a desperate offroader in tomorrow's drive? 😆

Good afternoon guys ! @Richard Franks@Soufiane@JamesBY@Mostafa Nasef@Mahesh_@Imran Asghar@AnasArif@Ali Al Moumar@Mohammad Sayawoush Azad@Rafey Hashmi@Shiju Raju@Benjamin@Faraz94@Theo09@Haneef Thayyil@Jeetu Sharma@frederic demolder@Joji varghese@DP1011 Thanks for signing up for another scenic drive !💥 The weather is finally cooling down a bit and i hope we can explore this area together. As i mentioned earlier this week, this is not a dunebashing drive🙅‍♀️, but a scenic drive where we will be mostly using existing farm tracks and cover quite some distance. 🐪🐪🐪We will be taking occasional breaks and i encourage everyone to bring a camera along to take some nice photos for our gallery.📷 As a small bonus i have split up the convoy in two teams. The plan is to have a small tug of war contest between the green team (convoy pos 1-10) and the blue team (pos 11-20). So train your muscles and have a good breakfast prior to the drive 💪 We will be using Carnity Channel 2: 446.031Mhz. For the ones joining us for the first time that do not have a radio yet, i can lend you one for this drive.📻 Bring your offroad gears such as a pressure gauge, deflator, offroad flag, and a good shovel.🐪 Upon arrival please park your car on one side only of the farm track so the farmers can still pass by. See you all tomorrow morning !

Wonderful bunch of blokes, great banter, lovely coffee in the middle of the desert - now throw a great, fluid and fast paced drive into the mix - recipe for an intoxicating high. Thank you @Davie Chase for making it happen. @Looper, @Dodi Syahdar, @DP1011, @Patrick van der Loo, @Rk ram, @Mohit Gurnani and @Gertjan it superb meeting and driving with you guys.

@Patrick van der Loo great point I forgot to thank @DP1011 for the coffee☕️thanks Deepak it was very much appreciated 🙏

Picked the drive for the lead and I was not disappointed! Thanks a million @Davie Chasethis was an amazing drive. great driving by all in veeeeeery soft sand in spots. Wonderful to see @Dodi Syahdar sliding and catching in that new Raptor! always fun with this group, great banter and great coffee

Thanks @Davie Chase It was a fantastic start to weekend. The choice of start point and the objective of reaching rock formation, with a perfect blend of Pace and technical FB+ , was just amazing experience. When at the beginning you said first time as a lead for you and its like an exploration drive, i kept my fingers crossed, and with the fluidity you took us to rock formation, it appeared U drive here every second day😂! At No point to me it appeared it's ur exploration drive, deftly one of my favs this drive was, and what more to have it with pleasure of being your SL. Thanks. And the drive stats is reconfirmation of how amazing and strong convoy we had! Always great to see known faces! @Mohit Gurnani @Gertjan@Patrick van der Loo @Rk ram ! Been after a long time with my twinning rubicon owner @Ranjan Das😅! Thanks for those tugs! And the boys who makes it even more stronger @Dodi Syahdar @Looper! - Thanks for Sweeping us and waiting for Insta 360 moments😅! See you all - Soon in sand! ✌️

Dear desert Wanderers, what a way to start the weekend, a beautiful sunrise greeted us after the first challenge of navigating the foggy weather on our way to Abu Dhabi. However, this did not dampen the spirits or enthusiasm of anyone in the entire convoy @DP1011 @Mohit Gurnani @Ranjan Das @Rk ram @Dodi Syahdar @Patrick van der Loo @Gertjan and @Looper . Without exception everyone greeted each other with a cheery smile and lighthearted banter. The drive itself moved off and we wasted no time in getting into a fantastic rhythm along the longer-range dunes before entering some tricky technical dunes worthy of an intermediate level drive. The sand to start with was a tad firmer than expected due to the damp foggy conditions. However, this soon changed as the current bun (sun) quickly dried the top damp layer turning it into powdery, soft, lush white sand as only Fayah has to offer. The Entire convoy handled this change with prowess befitting an Intermediate drive, with just a few refusals and a couple of stucks that were quickly and easily dealt with by the wonderful and super knowledgeable support team of @Looper, @Dodi Syahdar, @Ranjan Das and @DP1011. You guys one and all drove amazingly. My Second lead @DP1011 played a blinder, and I truly mean that, we had a couple of oh oh moments with an unexpected appearance of a nearly buried fence and a couple of surprise appearances of rock formations. all handled brilliantly by @DP1011 who was quick to react to my radio messages, well done mate and a pleasure to have you in S/L. @Dodi Syahdar and @Ranjan Das both had their part to play in a couple of tug of wars, we got to see the brand new not so shinny Bronco in action and it was a pleasure to watch, thank you both for your support today. Lastly @Looper who as usual Swept the convoy with professionalism and style, and with the occasional loop just to ensure he keeps the name alive and well. Having you in Sweep my friend meant I could relax at the front and enjoy the drive, thank you and appreciate the support it was outstanding. Drive Stats Thanks again to you all and have a great rest of your weekend.
