@Noufal @Piotr1 @Sameer D. @Lazy Frog @Eddie-Raptor @khurramm @Jerzi @Peterman @Taka @Vivian Dsouza @Jason M @Flying Horses @Srikumar Thank you, everyone, for joining our first experimental "Drive n Trek" and turning it into such a big success with a full-house turnout and kids of all ages. It was genuinely heartwarming to see the little ones step away from screens for a change and get completely absorbed in nature, running around in the sand, playing games, and enjoying some honest sweat and sunshine. Such great energy, participation, and support are exactly what encourage us to try new concepts like this. I hope your families enjoyed the blend of relaxed off-roading, light trekking, and kids’ activities, and we look forward to planning more family-friendly adventures together very soon.

@Lazy Frog - 971 56 4018458

Location is updated on the drive post and calendar. Meeting Point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4SHjXMF9BYnykHp48 Rest all is the same for drive and kids activities, but for us, we will climb dunes instead of trekking the pink rock.

Please note, the location has been changed to Dubai from Sharjah to avoid the Pink Rock area. @Noufal @Piotr1 @Sameer D. @Lazy Frog @Eddie-Raptor @khurramm @Jerzi @SHIHAN BEARY @Peterman @Taka @Vivian Dsouza @Jason M @Srikumar Kindly adjust your RSVP accordingly.

Done

We’re introducing a new "Drive & Trek" concept that combines relaxed off-roading with light trekking for us and simple games for the kids. With the winter weather finally here, it’s a good chance to step out of the car, stretch our legs, and let our families enjoy the outdoors with a bit of fitness and exploration. We will start with an easy-level drive toward Lisaili dunes, enjoying the cool weather with scenic dunes. Once there on top, we will park up and spend roughly half of the drive time on foot with: A short trek up the dunes for those who want a bit of adventure. Simple, kid-friendly games like football, tag, frisbee, or tug of war. Family Photo “viewpoint challenge” for the best family picture from the top. Bring your energy, your family (kids of all ages), a football or frisbee if you have one, and let us make the most of the winter season in the dunes together. We request every member who joins this drive to go through the information below and strictly follow these guidelines, etiquette, and responsibilities.

Hi @Lala G , due to safety reasons, transferring your previous experience only works from Newbie to Fewbie level and not beyond that. I agree with Fredy, as you have done 7 Fewbie Plus drives, so do 3 more, and then apply for the promotion. We will gather your trip lead feedback to proceed accordingly.

DRIVE DESCRIPTION Before our beloved Marshal Davie leaves Dubai for good, we would like to come together for a simple sit-down gathering to thank him, share memories, and wish him well for his next chapter. This is not a regular off-road drive. Just a relaxed get-together to talk, laugh and remember all the amazing moments Davie has created in the desert with us. What to expect: Casual sit-down with Davie and fellow offroaders. Stories from past drives and Desert Champions moments. A chance to personally thank him for his time, guidance and dedication. Group picture and goodbye hugs before he heads off. If you have driven with Davie, learned from him, or simply enjoyed his company on the sand, this is the perfect chance to come by, shake his hand, and wish him the best for the road ahead.
