Thanks @DP1011 for a great drive. The area was beautiful and the sunrise was spectacular this morning. In the end the drive turned out to be more eventful than I would have liked. Thanks to @Aser and @Zsolt and everyone else helping out with the pop out. Let’s see if @Giacomo let‘s me keep flying solo after this episode 😅.
Have a great evening all and see you in the sand again soon.
Drive Details
Level: Newbie and above (NO ABSOLUTE NEWBIES)
Meeting time: 2:30 PM
Meeting Point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/iqTBtk5p26vkaZYr5
Action Plan: Dubai's off-roading "old timers", and Carnity's in particular, will remember a time (just 4 or 5 years ago), when Qudra was a pristine sandy background for our escapades on beautiful, long range dunes, not nearly as high as Abu Dhabi's, but nonetheless extremely enticing for the possibility they offered for high speed drives, with lots or ridge-riding and criss-crossing. Nowadays, it seems that the frequent rains have lifted up the water table and fed much-needed nourishment to all kinds of grass and plants. After a few years of trying to avoid this desert that turned into a prairie, I'd like to go back down memory lane and trace back the club's old footsteps in the western and southern sectors of Qudra, from the Bab-al-Shams Road entry toward Solar Park. From here, we'll cross into Qudra's "secret dunes," where we are sure to find clean long-range dunes, to finish our drive in a way most reminiscent of our old days in Qudra.
Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance.
What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn.
Approximate finish time: 06:00 PM
P.S. Only join if you have a compressor to inflate your tires after the drive.
Hi @Ale Vallecchijust wanted to let you know that the “going” button was not appearing at all when I tried more than once. I managed to get through thanks to @Noufal who did it on my behalf Ana got me the last spot 😂
Even a friend couldn’t make it because of the same issue and is on waitlist.
See you all on Sunday 🙌🏻
