Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for another interesting and exploration kinda drive around this area. Second time here in as many weeks. We saw many interesting things and a couple of unfortunate ones like the Jeep that rolled over, thankfully he was ok and his friends were towing it out. With the terrain at times forgiving yet others weren't with very soft patches here and there and others we couldn't quite see well enough to know what was starring right at us because the sand was so bright. You did great getting us around the various fences and eventually over to see Sweihan Pond. We have to take what she gives and make the best of it sometimes, and we did a great job of it today. Good to see you again @Rob S and thanks for supporting the drive. It was a good team effort up there helping @Andrew John Melvill from that last refusal. @munkybizness I think we met on a drive last year or the year before. Thanks for sweeping our drive. As always, good to see and chat with you again @Marek. One new thing I learned today as I was starting my drive home. The car was wobbling and I went to the Sweihan petrol station to check my tire pressure and all was good. Felt too tired to bother hooking up my compressor again. Still wobbled on the way home so I stopped on the side of the road to have a better look at things and found about half the mud flat stuck inside my rims. I was loosening all that up when @Sreenath G pulled up to check on me, Thank you for that. 👏 Have a look at all that sand from one tire...

@Ale Vallecchi thanks again for a fantastic drive in a stunning landscape! @Rob S and @munkybizness your support roles excellent as always, really appreciated the advice and assistance during my refusals and the stuck. @Emanuel was good to follow your impeccable lines again! Also had to remove tons of mud from my rims, felt like i had lost all my wheel balance weights! Also had to air up the right front twice on the way home. Workshop in dubai cleaned out a good bit of sand from between the tire bead and the rim! To everyone in the convoy, thanks for a really good morning. 👍

A screw driver did the trick to lossen it all up to get balance back. Speed limit again after that. All that sand looks like my parking spot. 😂

...I was going 70km/h till I reached my place and pulled my washer... what a boring ride Next time I'm going to have a portable power washer for occasion like this one. It's mad how much mud got inside my rims...

@Ale Vallecchi, Good morning. I'm now fueling up in sweihan ADNOC. Please wait

Hi @Emanuel as long as we have at least 3 cars in total the drive will still be on

Hi @Simon D, hope you are well. I'm really looking forward to my first IM drive. However, I'm wondering if you may cancel this drive because there are only 3 of us on your drive. Please let me know if that might be your intention if no other IM drivers come or if there is a drop-out. I have waitlisted on @Islam Soliman's drive on Sunday just in case you cancel so I have at least one drive on the weekend. Haven't driven with him or on a Newbie drive in quite some time. @Islam Soliman I am looking forward to driving with you again my friend, however, my wife has plans for us on one morning this weekend and it can be Sat or Sun. If the IM drive goes ahead I'll withdraw my waitlist and if it doesn't then it would be great to join your drive if possible on Sun.

Thanks to all the marshals for the vote of confidence to join Team Carnity. Looking forward to supporting all members on the sand and sharpening my shovels. 😃 Time to start looking for custom storage solutions to maximise the Gladiator bed space for tools 😂

@Ale Vallecchi will have to drop from this drive, wished to finish the sweihan exploration series
