  1. Another wonderful drive, with wonderful convoy and strong drivers 💪🏼. Despite many names, and expected to have few names will not come, but all were on time and ready to go, very nice to see. After quick briefing, we started moving slowly finding smooth track good for warming up. As soon as came close to the pick rock, @Senthil Kumar had am issue with the engine oil leakage, which I think it was already there, but showed more that time. Thanking @Zixuan Huang - Charliefor carrying oil with him, which is really good to think about, and keep for urgent cases. We had to exit the car, and hope no much issues with the car @Senthil Kumar. Started moving again, and all made it to the top of pink rock, easily. After that, and the confidence built seeing all are coping with the challenges, we started moving fast and tracing dunes as much as we can. Great to see new FB drivers and old friends. @Andrew McCarthy amazing control and SL. Please make sure keeping control on the car momentum and not the speed. Big thanks to @GauravSoni for supporting us, and @Zixuan Huang - Charliefor sweeping us today. Nice to see you @Shahid Mehmood @ASAD. @Joseph Raju @Prakash Anoop @Mark D @Harshal @KKIRAN @Karthik Raptor @Pierre de Maigret @Senthil Kumar all made it great today. Please WhatsApp me on 0506318834 to share videos of your climbs. Below drive brief and what have you done guys in the desert😀 Nice weekend ahead Hisham

  4. Dear Desertnauts Paraphrasing Churchill's words, tomorrow's drive "will be long, will be hard, and will be unpredictable". The itinerary is divided into 4 segments: 1) from Murqaab's mosque to Faqa's sabkha - mix of technical and long range dunes, some vegetation, the longest of the four; 2) Faqa to the Little Sweihan - possibility of choosing diverse tracks (from technical but straighter, to long range but longer), mostly sandy, could be the fastest; 3) From the souther sabkhas to Solar Park's edges - in the long run, vegetation may be the biggest challenge of this segment (patience required); 4) final dash (Inshallah) to Qudra - familiar terrain, we'll have to worry about some technical areas, and abundant cross-tracks. The time required to cover each segment will not be exactly 1 hour,but may vary. I am counting to reach as far as Solar Park, from 7 to Eleven, with the hope of having been fast enough, and unencumbered by problems, to manage a last sprint home to Qudra, instead of an exit. Breaks will come only as necessary, so bring refreshments to stay hydrated and focus through the drive. @Vaibhav, @Tom B, @Stav, @Mohamad Anwer, @Waqas Parvez, @Naim Aoun, @James Thorn, @Rsjiv Samuel, @Looper and @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. PLEASE TRY TO REACH THE MEETING POINT AT LEAST 15 MIN BEFORE 7AM, SO WE CAN START EXACTLY ON TIME. Convoy order and radio channel will be given tomorrow morning prior to the start. Have a great Saturday evening.

  8. Newbie drives are all about learning tricks of driving in desert and today’s drive was such a drive where we learnt a lot. @Sita Sharma was a bit rusty in the beginning but quickly recalled what she has learnt till date. Later in drive due to sun glare she dropped into the ditch as she could not see the path that was taken but was able to recover with some guidance. Thanks to @Islam Soliman for a wonderful drive. @Davie Chase you were exceptional as a center forward. I could hear very clear and precise instructions you were giving over the radio and helping others in recoveries. @JeromeFJ your calm presence is always puts every one at ease. Ever present to help others, appreciate your efforts in the drives.

  16. Was 17degree when we arrived and 29degree when we left Was a good drive with another shoveling early on the clock.Leaving a few extra space between the car could have avoided it but thanks to all the efforts of @Rsjiv Samuel @Imran Kashif @Tbone and few others who were out there shoveling and supporting to get the Rubicon from its belly. A good drive with lots of technical dunes .... still pleasant enough to shovel, drive and as always @Tbone parading the convoy through the dunes quick and making it look easy. Thanks everyone for the nice and a safe drive ! Enjoyed a lot ! @Yesu Yarlagadda Hope your bumper survived the drive until your home.

  20. What a position I got my self in , sounds familiar 😅 however this time I didn’t need to leave my car as I was not alone 😉 and operated while in cockpit the whole recovery process thanks to all hands whom helped it out . And yes the ropes were to anchor from the other side and not for tugging obviously. So I can say the drive practically was “ ropeless “ 😜
