Another super fun drive into nahel! Great leading @DP1011and @Emanuel... 5 minutes after departure we arrived at the double bowl ready for some sidies. I was quite surprised at how different the terrain felt from just two weeks ago as it hasn't rained. We got some quick loops in before yeilding that playground to another convoy and went in search of more bowls 😎 Lots of switches and and ridges led to our first of two popouts. F1 pit lane precision on the fixes...Teamwork got the jobs done quickly and we moved on to yet more play areas. Last big bowl of the day we discovered @DP1011 had left his number plates as an offering to the desert... A quick search of the last 5 mins driving but didn't find it. As we headed to the exit we spotted three gazelles running across the dunes, and a group of black and white camels.i guess sacrificing his number plates for his first two wild animal sightings in nahel was worth it! We covered around 50km in total before exiting.. at end of inflation my thermometer was reading 47 degrees... Maybe we have to start even earlier...?? Great driving by all and hope to see you all again soon. I'll try to load some videos to Instagram tonight. If we're not buddies on there yet, add me so I can tag you in the footage!

Well done!:) like you all, i too thoroughly enjoyed the drive and again, Thank you for being on time✌️. See you all soon in sands!

Thanks @DP1011 for another great Nahel drive, double bowl entertained again, but the flowing dunes with multiple criss crosses all at a good pace was fantastic. Cheers all and enjoy the afternoon.

Thanks @Gaurav for the exciting drive. This area is one of my favorites and I always enjoy going there The desert was the most crowded I've ever seen it with so many safari vehicles and ATVs zooming around. The sand was very choppy due to this with hundreds of tracks criss-crossing all over the place. Great job trying to find clean sand and lines for us to take! It was good seeing @Davie Chase again (in passenger princess mode though). Great advice and support as usual Always a pleasure seeing @Batuhan Kulac - awesome work as sweep supporting the few refusals and stucks at the back of the convoy Good to see @Shiju Raju, @Nicolò & @nithish468 again - we've been on the same drives several times recently Great driving from the whole convoy. Thanks for a great evening! See you all again soon

BTW I was super happy to get 2 photos of my car in the same location.. looking west will with full moon setting, and looking east at the huge sun rising this morning. What a combo!

Very foggy. Drive safely

Sorry lads, woke up to find out about a domestic matter I’m needed for. Enjoy and we shall meet again soon! 🥲

Can’t make it to the drive, see you on the next one. Enjoy

Thank you all for joining the drive this morning. Yes indeed, I did not expect so many bushes in the area, and obviously, it had an impact on our progression. Still we had a nice exploration of this portion of desert that is rarely crossed during our drives. A way to see also that this desert is very much occupied, with camel farms, fences, tracks, gas pipelines, abandoned power lines, we even crossed into a luxury camping resort under construction. From a driving point of view, we had our challenges, with the soft sand everywhere, the slip faces to cross (congrats @Adam Black with the long truck), and these portions where we had to climb from the side with sufficient momentum to avoid getting dragged down into a steep pocket. @Matt - monkeywrench had a pop-out in one of these, showing that it was not easy to control. We also had a few long ridges where we could practice keeping the balance of the car. Well done @Matt - monkeywrench and @Adam Black for your first Fewbie drive, thank you @Emanuel for the second lead, and @Islam Soliman for sweeping and supporting. @Cesar Chacon @Zubair @Cristian @RiadJL, very well driven, it was a pleasure to have you. And yes, we will put this drive back on the agenda in winter, to see if we can reach further. You will all be FB+ or above by then !
