Dear Desert Wanders @Ben Lee, @Misha Puskar, @DTG, @Shaun J, @Mark B, @Wilfredo Perez, @Rohit Deginal, @EbrahimZAF, @Prithvi Raj, @Benjamin, @Ali-M, @Gary F I hope you all enjoyed todays adventures as much as i did. It was a beautiful Morning lovely weather and great company. thank you all for being on time. The drive started at Tawi Nizwa and we ran up through the mid range dunes towards Pink rock and beyond, before turning back on ourselves, climbing pink rock and then heading off to Big Red. you guys all drove amazingly well. we only had two stucks and a handful of refusals. it was great to see the team work of 10 bodies around the vehicle all digging furiously. I would have loved to have helped, but someone has to supervise, and there really was not enough room for me :), but seriously it really was great to witness, and you all regardless of shovel shape and size made light work of the sand. Great S/L from @Gary F kept my lines smooth and your quick reactions were honed enough to move teh line left or right of steps and bushes, well down and appreciated. @Mark B Great job in the middle, a little busier than the last couple of drives, but that is how we learn, the busier the better. You handled all of the refusals brilliantly, with calmness and expertise. thank you and well done. @Benjamin as always great to have you along Ben, as always handling anything we could through at you with your usual unflappable approach. great job and thanks for being there in support. @Imran Asghar thanks for joining last minute and sweeping the convoy, always a pleasure to have you along mate, a little bit quieter for you at the back given the excellence we had in the two CF's but hope you were not too chilled or bored:) you kept the convoy together well and kept me informed all the way round. thanks and hope you get the AC issues resolved. We covered 42.4 km at a max speed of 51 KMPH and a Avg Moving speed of 15.3 KMPH. Check out Fb drive 6 April 24 on Relive! https://www.relive.cc/view/vDqgrX2MeV6

Great drive today, lots of fun and a great lead from @Ale Vallecchi. Best part to have fellow truckers in the convoy @Luke K P @Stumpy sharing the knowledge was a great terrain with that pristine sand of sweihan never fails to impress for the ridging and criss-crossing techniques.

More the merrier ! We will be on Ch 2 and it will be a quick drive with some very technical drive and visit some nice side sloping area, a break at Crescent Lake before we go back! See you all in the morning.

Excellent , intense, engrossing , thrilling drive @Looper.... we were all so into the drive that time was almost at a stand still.. @Patrick van der Loo and @Ranjan Das..great driving with you guys..our rhythm and tandem today were exceptional!!! See you on another adventure!!!

Thanks for another great drive @Davie Chase. Hope I'm still smiling come 5pm tomorrow with this shirt! @Gary F @Mark B @Benjamin and @Imran Asghar did a great job dealing with all the stucks/refusals. Thanks to everyone else in the convoy, was a good morning out in the desert, varied drive which proved tricky at spots.

Thanks @Looper for the intense sprint. Guess I had never driven 70 km in 3 hour before - thanks for the fluid and fun filled drive. Thank you @Patrick van der Loo and @Sunil Mathew for the company

@Ale Vallecchi thanks for a great drive this morning, really clean sand, lots of camels and some true exploration.

This was wicked fun @Looper, small group, solid pace and great driving from @Sunil Mathew and @Ranjan Das in switching around the positions, amazing fresh environment. First part of the drive I spent almost half a tank on power driving, second part really flowed. Loved it!

Good morning All ! @frederic demolder@J-P L@Amal Sunil@Frederic118@RiadJL@Ali-M@Theo09@Batuhan Kulac@munkybizness Thanks for joining this drive. As mentioned in the drive post, the aim of this drive is to do a gentle exploration of the entire outskirts of Qudra. It's the perfect drive to take the camera and family along, and to enjoy a sit-down to socialize. Please do make sure to bring your off-road gears as per your level, and of course your trusty walkie talkie. We will be using Channel 4: 446.081Mhz Take note that this drive will last a bit longer than our usual drives. I hope we can reach our destination (flamingo lakes) by 1pm. See you all tomorow !

was good to be back after a year's break thanks @Davie Chase and the team, enjoyable morning

Let's do it bro 😎🙏

Hi @Luke K P, me too, see you tomorrow 😃

Yeah great drive Today, lots of action, really enjoyed it, everyone drove really well. look forward to seeing you all again soon

Thanks for leading a nice Saturday Exploration @Ale Vallecchi We basically headed in a Westerly direction all day. After spending the first part of the drive hitting some lager dunes and bowls, we decided to aim towards al fayah. On the way we encountered a huge herd of camels including some baby Black and White ones. Once getting close to fayah, we headed north and hit the newly fenced off section and after scouting around the outside of the fence decided to head back to the asphalt and head home. Great driving by everyone in lots of different terrain. We spent longer time on bio breaks than recoveries which is always sign off a good drive. I'm very jealous of whoever got to spot the lizard running away. 😅😅 I have us at 70km with average moving speed of 26.5kph. very respectable. See you all in the sand again sometime soon. PS. @Emanuel I hope U get Ur shifter fixed easily. Thanks to @Stumpyfor the quick field repairs getting the convoy moving again.

Hi Davie Great drive mate and yes chilled today to be honest which in good with as the guys in the middle were fantastic at supporting all the issues! No complaints from me! Think I figured it out The throttle body is filthy because the air filter was faulty so process of elimination. When I put the AC on the load is straining the car as throttle body full of crap So elimination process 1. New s and b air filter done 2. Throttle body cleaned again for the 3rd time in an month (because of the air intake) 3. Keep an eye on it and if it happens again then need to figure out why the throttle body keeps getting dirty Last and not least get the snorkle resealed I noticed this when I stripped it down after the drive : (going to ravon thenguys that installed it to get resealed Tomo morning )

Hi @Looperjust added myself as late addition. Ok to join?

Sorry @Frederic but need to jump out - a quick last camp opportunity came up which I cant say no too. I really love these scenic drives, so please keep it on the drive calendars
