DRIVE DESCRIPTION 14th Feb - Valentines day also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine is celebrated annually on February 14 . It originated as a Christian feast day honouring a martyr named Valentine and through later folk traditions, it has also become a significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world. The day became associated with romantic love in the 14th and 15th centuries when notions of courtly love flourished, apparently by association with the "lovebirds" of early spring. In 18th-century England, it grew into an occasion for couples to express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). Valentine's Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. What better than starting the day, with your partner on this Couples only Drive. This drive is a highly likely chance to have your partner's permission renewed for a reasonable period of weekend desert drives - thanks to you - that your partner will be happy to start the day with you, while moving swiftly through Lisaili dunes, with a romantic view of those Hot air balloons in sight and a beautiful sunrise. Please note : This will be strictly a on time start and on time end - The idea is more to gather as a group, have a relaxed drive, take a break for coffee/muffins, have some photos clicked and then head back to start point to be able to exit on time. Dress code : Not mandatory but encouraged - Red + Black.

This is probably the oldest surviving Valentine’s letter in the English language. It was written by Margery Brews to her fiancé John Paston in February 1477

Hi everyone, I have a 2006 toyota land cruiser in pacific blue I used to frequent the desert before but my 10 year sabbatical has rendered me quite rusty and lacking confidence. I can confirm that I have front and rear hooks. I am missing a radio and safety flag at the moment but planning to procure these items by EoD. Thanks,

@JeromeFJ no upgrades rather comparison between models and the eternal 4 hi - 4 lo debate

We need friends like Juluis 😂

Sounds sweet Zed! Let’s do it

@JeromeFJ's entry point is Ramlah Sweihan Bowls Bowls Bowls Strip... it will be a good area to test 4Lo vs 4Hi ... also I just installed Mopar original beadlock wheels for the Cherokee (got them for free so can't refuse installing them ) - I might try climbing in 4Lo with 6 psi 😅

Dear Desert Drivers, In preparation for the drive on Saturday morning, please ensure that your car is in top condition. Check and remove any loose item in the back seat and trunk areas. Your off-road equipment shall be securely strapped to avoid flying objects in the cabin in case of jumps of big bumps. I will indicate the convoy order tomorrow by the end of the afternoon. Please let me know before that if you changed your plans. Thank you !
