Thank you for joining the drive, pleasure meeting new and old friends. All made it on time, and few much earlier. Briefing, and started moving through small size dunes, where we have enjoyed the recovery of @essam ibrahim, who did very well considering he is first time joining a drive. After that started moving to the other side of margham, where we found nice flat dunes, allowed us to move smoothly, without any issues to mention. We have done dunes crossing, side slope and climb, and can say all did amazing job. Weather was really good, and by the time sun started setting for the day, we moved out and glad to see all smiling, and hope enjoyed it.

Thanks, everyone for the wonderful Faqa outing yesterday, thanks to great convoy strength we manage to enjoy the real Faqa long-range dunes irrespective of a rough start and a million cross-track in the new camper site. Love to see the smiling faces at the end, that made me convince once again to stick to "no-plan" drives more in near future, where we only focus on fun, rather than on any destination or kms. @Manoj Soman @Mark Birch @Yaseen87 @Zubair @Nikola Bozovic @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler @Mohamad Anwer @Nathan L @Miguel Codes @Bjoern @Rajiv Sam @Lawrence_Chehimi Here is the Solar power plant explanation that I forgot to explain during the briefing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

Hi Good morning. Thank you for a pleasant and safe drive. I do like the professionalism showed by all. See you in the sand again some time.

Vine, vidi, vici! First and foremost, a big thank you to @Carnity for organizing the drive, the wait was worth it not just because of the scenic drive, but because of the opportunity to spend a great time with everyone attending the different drive levels. @JeromeFJ thank you for leading us safely from start to end, and for the ready advice throughout the drive. The terrain was challenging but we managed to complete the route. Thanks to @Rob S for being always ready to support and to @Haitham Khattab for a superb second-lead. It was great to drive along with @Tom B, @Sunil Mathew, @Santoso Marjuki, @Imteeaz and @Gok Krish even for a while before he had to exit the drive, I sincerely hope your car gets repaired. I've left a few pictures I managed to take during the drive, hope you all like them. Until we meet again, stay safe and have a great week ahead.

@GauravSoni driving with you is always exciting , that including the paved roads as well 😁. i would say the drive was an absolute adventure , the smooth flow and rhythm between all the drivers was amazing mixed with the huge long dunes and the big drops with high speed was refreshing experience. @Brette it was a pleasure driving with you man. i am glad that your Grand Cherokee finally decided to forgave you after you had that last talk with her 😂. @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler if i cant beat your jeep buddy, at least i can make some lauder noise 🤣. it always fun driving with you buddy ( i cant wait to see the videos and pictures you have captured ) , and best regards to you copilot as well @Brett Eicher man i think you are an amazing driver you have an impressive control over your car and seems always ready with your tools and equipment's , (I hope you finished emptying your spare fuel tank by now 😅) looking forward to drive with you all again soon cheers 🍻

DRIVE REPORT Let's have our cake and eat it !! Driving all the way to Abu Dhabi to go and have a look at a dirty old yellow truck ? Of course !! We were blessed with a Newbie convoy that drove marvelously. My plan was to reach the Yellow truck around noon or shortly after, which would give us ample time for a lunch break. To my own surprise we hit the spot even before 11AM, thanks to the way you guys navigated and pushed your vehicles through the terrain like champs ! I kept the first part of this drive easy as we wanted to check off the visit to Yellow Truck first and get that out of the way. After lunch break and meeting up with the Fewbie Plus convoy, we headed further south which meant we had lots of steep crossings to make. Apart from a few stucks and refusals we kept pushing along and reached the exit track around 4PM. @Fabien Monleau your second lead was brilliant. You kept good distance which gave you the opportunity to fine-tune my track so the convoy could pass through easily. The successes we booked yesterday are the result of that ! Thank you ! I hope your family had a splendid weekend ! @rohit kumar I must admit I had some apprehensions as we hadn't seen you around in the club often, and you brought a mighty big ship to the drive (but a real powerful ship). You drove very well throughout the day and I hope to see your Raptor soon coming winter on our drives ! Well done ! @Nicholas Cox1 and the family, I hope you guys liked this day out ! Your Dodge roared through the massive dunes and you drove very well yesterday ! PS please tell your wife to bring that Pink Pajero to the next drive ! We will give it a Carnity blessing ! @Ahmad Nerat and co-pilot, you guys drove with a bright smile and can-do attitude the whole day ! The comfy but super capable Landcruiser was definitely at home in Liwa ! @Benjamin and @Gary F you both bring such a great spirit to our drives ! I hope one day my son or daughter can get her own 4x4 and we can crush the sands together ! Enjoy these precious moments ! @Ron.P might be the only Swedish guy in Abu-Dhabi, but you rocked that Landcruiser all day long. Splendid work and great meeting you ! @Glenn W you feel at home in this terrain and your fantastic Montero Sport is your trademark (or is it the beard ?). Fantastic driven buddy !! @premindra rajaram we drove a few times together already and i was glad you got your introduction to another kind of terrain. You drove great ! Trust me, the big slopes do look intimidating, but you kept your cool and navigated them super precise ! Hope your wife liked the day out too ! Never shy of a joke, we had our resident clown @imranaasghar81 in our convoy today to keep the spirits up and be the Raptor Rescuer. It was great seeing you again and I hope your son enjoyed it too ! @Dodi Syahdar was two weeks in a row my superb sweep. Always ready to help and radiating calmness. Thank you so much for joining and helping us out ! Last but not least, the center player (if only we had one like that in the World Cup Belgian Team) of the day was @Srikumar. Having a partner in crime like that gave me the feeling we can easily drive to Arada next time Check out the gallery for some photos: https://carnity.com/gallery/category/1579-newbie-liwa-yellow-truck-abu-dhabi-02-dec-2022/ And the Relive footage: https://www.relive.cc/view/vDqge2R99VO Thanks again for being a part of this, and for joining us on this adventure ! Many more to come !!
