Hi All, Due to recent heavy rain in the UAE and waterlogged conditions the desert terrain is currently tricky with muddy conditions, broken ridges, and hidden pockets, which isn't ideal for a safe adventure. Hence, I am canceling this weekend's drive, look forward to seeing you all soon on the next one. @Nicolò @Sviatoslav @Vipin M @Pramod B @Sameer D. @TIMMY @Jeevan Koshy @Martin Schwaiger @Giacomo @Benjamin @Andrew John Melvill @RiadJL @DTG Please acknowledge by any emoji.

My third time doing this drive and I still haven't have enough of it. This is the only place left in Qudra to drive and I like to post my second drives of the week here for a quick spin in the dunes. We did a lot more technical and a bit difficult one at that, as the convoy kept up to the challenge, I kept pushing. The key to driving here is to keeping focus and keeping your eyes and ears open to what happening in front. I must say that everyone did a great job. Unlike last time towards the end the side slopping areas were not that enticing anymore as green pastures keep encroaching into the desert. A BIG thanks to @Rob S for answering my plea for support and joining the drive irrespective of his other prior commitments. Considering that the drive was borderline Fewbie Plus @Andrew John Melvill & @Shaun J you did a great job. @Marek you were fantastic behind me at second lead. @Ishak you obviously know this area well and I must say to @Luke K P that I am guilty as charged in a short wheel based Jeep that can practically do 360 degree turns standing still - you did well to manage the terrain. Thank you all once again for joining the drive and see you soon once more.

Nothing spectacular in this first video 😇 My first fewbie drive back in January going to the Yellow Truck. Looper please write about your workflow, planning to upgrade to a 360 at some point....

While I have released one video from our drive from Al Saad last week - it is going to be a two part series and only one of two has been released - so I will not post those videos here. Instead I want to look back to a spectacular Intermediate Drive I drove in October last year. It was second drive of "Sweihan Drives" Series on 23 Oct 2022 series by @M.Seidam. With Support from @DP1011 as second lead, @Davie Chase in the middle who was in his 50th Drive and me at the sweep. We also had @Imran Kashif, @Imteeaz, @Daniel Yang (who exited midway), and @Tom B in front of me. Part 1 Sweihan: This is the 1st part of two part series in which we drive in the Swihan area. It was a fast paced drive involving a lots criss crossing in the dunes of Sweihan. Part 2 Nahel: This is the 2nd part of two part series in which we drive from in Nahil (Nahel) area. It was a more technical than previous part and tested the skills of all of us. Hope you enjoy these two videos.

Sadly I can't do my first fb+ Saturday 😢

Hi DP, hope you and all our fellow drivers got through yesterday ok. Unfortunately, my Jeep took some damage so I’m going to have to withdraw until I can get it looked at.

Hi @Looper, need to drop out as plans for the weekend changed. See you around soon.
