As you can see we have a big train tomorrow, which no doubt will be great fun, and its great to see this signup even before winter. As we are in @Luke K P his backyard, he will be leading most of the drive. I will be responsible for the warmup as CEO (Chief Entertainment Officer), where Luke will be our CTO (Chief Tracks Officer) 😆. With @ChrisW and @Aserin the support, and @Zedin the sweep, our Abu Dhabi team is almost complete. Please try to arrive 15 mins early. There is an ADNOC nearby the starting point so that is also helpful. The drive plan will be a mix of technical and some spaced dunes, and the plan is to visit the well-known old Bedford trucks parked in the middle of this area. Once we found them, we will exit at the nearest road, or loop back to the starting point if we still have the time. We will be using Channel 4: 446.081 Mhz. See you all tomorrow!

Newbie drive? What Newbie drive? Thankyou everyone for the amazing drive this morning. It might have been tagged as a newbie drive but we made such great pace and tackled so much fun terrain that you wouldn't imagine it was! @Menon Arun hope you enjoyed your first drive with the club! You certainly handled your machine well and got to see some of the fantastic scenery Abu Dhabi drives are popular for. Starting off passing nahel lake and seeing the black camels, we pushed west experiencing some nice up and over crossings, and getting to do some big sides in some of the half bowls. The views from the top were fantastic. We crossed the sabkhas in two groups. Trying to stop us from ingesting too much dust.. but luckily we had a cross wind and it was fairly easy to follow. As we headed east towards the exit, found out drives in smaller dunes that required a bit more precision driving but everyone handled it with ease, even the mini ridge we had to ride! Great way to spend a public holiday morning, thanks for guiding us @JeromeFJ See you all in the sand again soon. PS.

Hi @Emanuel, congrats on your 100th drive 🔥🔥

@Frederic is this the same Bedford we went in the night drive? (down South towards Khazna) If so, @Luke K P the Three Trees at (24.3604826, 55.1601796) is a good resting point halfway towards Bedford. Some shades for good coffee & laugh 👍

Added you @Giacomo as there was a dropout. You can take position 13 in the convoy. See you tomorrow!

Yup 👍

Some call it 'closer to the cellular tower', others call it 'closer to the 1am shawarma shack'

I've moved the meeting point a bit further down, closer to the cellular tower. That's the spot we usually deflate. Thanks @ChrisW !
