Dear Desrtnauts following a week of teasers for tomorrow's drive, and according to the drive's theme dedicated to a book about the relationship between desert and mankind, the track has been laid out to start from a heavily anthropized part of Sweihan's desert, to cross pristine areas, yet still adjacent to farms and tracks, and end at the crossroad between wilderness and township, at the beautiful Nahil Lake, and Nahil town. The convoy order will be the following: @Giacomo in Second Lead @Carl Stanley at #3 @Myrko at #4 @Zsolt at #5 @Shary at #6 @Hani crest king at Center @Diego at #8 @vinayak at #9 @Abhishek Chikara at #10 @topgear at #11 and @Aser in Sweep. The starting time should be my usual 8:00AM, which I have found is not that much hooter then leaving at 6:00AM, and most of all, as the day progresses and warms up, will make us truly feel the strength, power and unforgiveness of our beloved desert. Enjoy your Saturday evening.

Leading in the desert is one of the most rewarding off-road experiences — blending raw adventure, strategic decision-making, and real-time teamwork in a dynamic and unforgiving environment. In the Leaders Lead – Third & Final Session, you’ll put everything you've learned into action. After mastering convoy management and GPS navigation, this final challenge pushes you to apply your leadership skills in one of the most technical and demanding desert terrains in the UAE. This advanced session is designed to test your capabilities across three critical areas: Mastering Technical Dunes: You'll be leading through intense, no-go-level terrain, where every crest, bowl, and drop demands precise control, route planning, and advanced sand reading skills. This module focuses on driving judgment and maintaining convoy rhythm through the harshest dune structures. Adaptive Leadership Based on Convoy Performance: Learn how to dynamically adjust the drive level in real-time — scaling up when the team is confident and scaling down to ensure safety when needed. This teaches you to interpret convoy energy, driving skills, and situational readiness without compromising the drive’s flow. Commanding Complex Recoveries: You'll face high-risk recovery simulations that test your ability to assess, lead, and execute under pressure. From stuck vehicles in side slopes to near rollovers, you'll learn how to orchestrate safe and efficient solutions using the right tools, communication, and leadership composure.

Leading in the desert is one of the most rewarding off-road experiences, combining adventure, strategic thinking, and real-time teamwork in a constantly changing environment. In the Leaders Lead – Second Session, you'll deepen your skills with a strong focus on navigation and route management — essential tools for confident and safe leadership. This session will guide you through three focused modules: Navigation Mastery: Understand how to use a GPS device, compass, and natural landmarks for reliable desert orientation. Convoy Leadership: Learn how to scale drive levels with achievable challenges, while keeping the convoy safe and engaged. Emergency Route Planning: Develop skills to plan effective recovery and exit routes for unexpected situations and backtracking. You can choose any device or app (garmin, gaia, mytrail etc) and mark these basic points and you will be required to reach anyone or a few of them: Entry and Exit Lisaili Fort Skydive Chimney Mark long range playable dunes Mark pylon tracks, cycle tracks Mark as many sabka, flat track or easy exits in case of emergency Mark fencing or restricted area Mark technical dunes P.S. I will personally check each of your devices to verify and help you further.

Yalla 🔥🔥

Let's meet on time to have a quick twisty windy drive tomorrow morning. As usual we all be on Ch 2. Request all members who will participate to install Garmin Tread app on your phone and set up with your credentials. I will share a group drive code at the start of the drive and will request all participants to join the group drive. Garmin Tread App will help us to track all members in the convoy should there be any break in the convoy. Garmin Tread App does not record GPS Track, hence you would still want to use Gaia GPS or your favorite GPS App that you use to record the drive. Please however ensure that you exit the group drive after you have finished the drive - otherwise it will keep sharing your location.

Hi all! @Looper I'm really sorry but I have to retire myself from this one. Something impredictable came and I cannot go to the drive. I was really excited for my first FB+ drive with you, but unfortunately can't be tomorrow. Hope to see you all soon.

“Belief? What do I believe in? I believe in sun. In rock. In the dogma of the sun and the doctrine of the rock. I believe in blood, fire, woman, rivers, eagles, storm, drums, flutes, banjos, and broom-tailed horses…”

"I find that in contemplating the natural world my pleasure is greater if there are not too many others contemplating it with me, at the same time."

@Frederic You got the big guns at least go all the way . Here is my twist on the ChatGPT version of things (You cracked me up when i was reading your poem btw!): Ode to Carnity: Guardians of the Dunes Across the golden endless sea, Where whispering winds roam wild and free, Carnity rides with hearts ablaze, In desert’s dance, they forge their ways. Engines roar, the sand takes flight, A thrilling chase beneath the light, But safety guides each daring run, Respecting dunes, each rise, each sun. Together bound by trust and cheer, A brotherhood that knows no fear, Through every drift and sudden slide, The team stands strong, close side by side. With steady hands and watchful eyes, They conquer dunes, embrace the skies, Yet never lose the common thread— The care, the bond, the paths they tread. Carnity’s spirit, fierce and true, In every grain, in every view, A family born of sand and speed, Where teamwork blooms in every deed. So here’s to rides beneath the stars, To safe returns from desert scars, A tribe united, wild and free— Forever proud, the Carnity.

In silence vast, the desert lies, Beneath the blaze of endless skies. Its golden dunes in stillness keep The secrets buried, dreams asleep. A whisper stirs — a stream once near, Now memory in the thirst of year. Yet when the moon spills silver light, The sand recalls the water’s flight. Alone, it sings in tones austere, A hymn of longing, sharp and clear — Of solitude the sun can’t dry, Nor time erase, nor wind deny. ChatGpt....😝

I’ll join you with a verse of a poem as we Latin have hot heart! Out come the shovels, gleam of silver bright, Like warriors armed, prepared for this sandy fight. Sweat drips and gleams, a desert, glistening dew, As we scoop and dig, a tireless, determined crew.

@Ale Vallecchi Hi Ale, tks but I can not make it tomorrow. Have removed myself from waitlist.
