Dear Desertnauts a straightforward, yet not obvious, drive: 3 technical areas, each with different shape of dunes and vegetation, three large sabkhas, very wide, likely muddy, where high seed is of the essence, and a final stretch of clean dunes, from which the Ghost Roads emerge from the sands. We'll take a break on the second sabkha, where the skeletons of cars and containers riddled with projectile's holes are the remnants of a drones and artillery shooting ground. The meeting point is here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/hmQGeJAvLgvJxNmJ9 The convoy order will be as follows: @Jessica Lambert in Second Lead @Soap at #3 @Abdullah A. at #4 @Krinesh at #5 @Johannes Roux at #5 @Aser at Center @Diego at #7 @Ahmed Farouk at #8 @Giacomo at #9 @Hani crest king at #10 and @Mike M. in Sweep. You should be able to fill up the tank at ADNOC Service Station Al Razeen 128. See you tomorrow in time for an 8:30 AM departure. Have a nice Saturday

Drive Report – Hidalgo Mode Activated!! We wrapped up an intense and super-satisfying drive today, starting sharp at 7:10 AM from the dirt track at the Bab Al Shams entry for Qudra. After a quick briefing, we headed straight towards Little Sweihan. The track was extremely bushy with barely any clean sand, but we pushed through as a tight convoy — everyone stuck to the pace and stayed fully committed. For nearly an hour, there were zero refusals and pin-drop radio silence, which says a lot about the group’s focus and flow. We reached the crossover point to Al Ajban, took a short break, and then moved into cleaner dunes. That’s where the action picked up — our first ridge stuck showed up. As soon as post-recovery started, I managed to land myself into a tricky stuck of my own 😄, which was quickly and cleanly recovered. Back on the move, we made it to Nahel by 10:00 AM. With flags removed, we drove a few clicks past Nahel ADNOC, re-entered the dunes, and upped the pace. Clean dunes ahead meant momentum, and we played around some big ones, crossing the Nahel dunes in about 20 minutes. By 10:30 AM, we were heading towards Sweihan via the dirt track, squeezing in a couple more dune plays along the way. The final stretch was pure magic — open, clean dunes towards Sweihan (West Africa entry). The next 15 minutes felt like a trance, and we exited to conclude the drive at 11:15 AM. Huge shout-out to @Alexanderrrfor an excellent 2nd lead — despite long gaps, he followed the track brilliantly, corrected lines when needed, and delivered a perfect tug to recover my car 👌 Absolute pleasure watching @nithish468 — apart from the stuck, you drove with confidence and skill. Bravo! There was hardly any radio chatter, which tells me the center and sweep were having a great time too. Thanks @Bjoern @ChrisW and @Sam Selimfor the solid support and guidance keeping the convoy tight! Well done @Glenn W on your first IM recovery — well earned! And as always, a pleasure driving with @Beide Worku and @Zulfikhar Naiyar. I hope you guys enjoyed the drive with your co passengers. Drive stats: • Total distance: 104 km • Total time: 4 hrs 3 mins • Moving time: 3 hrs 40 mins • Average speed: 25.8 km/h A proper Hidalgo-style drive — endurance, speed, discipline, and flow all coming together. Congratulations to the convoy for completing this epic run! This was one route which had been on my bucket list for a very long time!!! See you guys soon on the dunes! waiting to hear your feedbacks @Alexanderrr @nithish468 @Bjoern @ChrisW @Glenn W @Sam Selim @Zulfikhar Naiyar @Beide Worku!

@Suneedh Wrangler Hope to see you at the drive this afternoon, regular inflation deflation is hard on tyres

@Ishak Hi, there is a problem. In my last drive on Wednesday in Abu dhabi, I had a pop-out on my beadlock tyre which I went to fix today afternoon and it turned out 3 of my 4 tyres have micro cracks from frequent inflation/deflation which are also leaking air. I have to change all my tyres tomorrow before I can drive in the sand again. I am scheduled to go to the tyre shop again tomorrow morning, but I am not absolutely sure if I can get all the work done in time to reach for the drive. I think it is best you have assign somebody else the SL role, just incase I am not able to make it in time. I shall update hre tomorrow 12PM if I am be able to come in time or not.

Thanks @GauravSoni I got my baby back full fixed and desert tested, at least that's what I am told by my garage so definitely ready and hungry for tomorrow. See you there fellas!

If you’re accepting shovelling volunteers, please let me know 😄

Thank you @Ale Vallecchi for the amazing drive and to @Krinesh and @Abdullah A. for the support throughout. What a day! So many moments! So much to learn! Posting a few pics of today’s drive! @Albert_Spa Managed to click a few pics! 🙌

Sorry @Ale Vallecchi had to withdraw today. Having some back issues and bouncing through the desert is probably not the best thing for that. Looks like an epic drive judging by the description. Hope you all have a great time!

I need to withdraw from the drive🥲, will see you on the next one!
