Dear Desertnauts.
First of all, I'd like to wish all of you and your families a great and prosperous 2026. Happy New Year !!
I am very glad the new year has brought us, so far, splendid weather, with great clear skies, and perfect temperatures. In such an ideal setting, we'll enjoy a relaxing drive from Faya Truck Rd. to "The Fox's Den" and beyond, with the second segment of the drive and its exit point still up for grabs. The way to the objective of the drive is characterized by long range, clean sand cordons, very well-spaced between each other, providing excellent opportunities for side sloping and crisscrossing. So should be the segment toward the end of the drive, regardless the final choice. We will encounter some closer, tighter dunes, with more bushy vegetation in between these 2 halves.
The convoy order has been designed to have higher ranked members ahead and below each lower ranked member, with the possibility of the latter to be tutored one-on-one by the more experienced drivers. The order will be the following:
@Mark B (Advisor) in Second Lead
@Abdullah A. (Fewbie Plus) at #3
@Lazy Frog (Fewbie) at #4
@Mei Ling (Fewbie Plus) at #5
@Noufal (Fewbie) at #6
@Imteeaz (Support Team) at Center
@Ash S. (Fewbie) at #8
@Jeandre Bezuidenhout (Intermediate) at #9
@Kashx2 (Fewbie) at #10
@Danie (Fewbie) at #11
@Stumpy (Intermediate) at #12 and
@Frans M in Sweep.
The meeting and deflation point has been posted on the drive's page. See you tomorrow in time for departing as soon after 8:30 AM as possible. Have a great evening.
