Angela, it happened to all of us many times. Another classic mistake I still do from time to time: forget the hand break. Once I drove about 3 km trough middle sized dunes with it.

Everything is explained here @Pancho... When you will have 10 drives at fewbie level and estimate that you meet all requirements for next level, you can click on "apply for off-road promotion".

@Pancho I’m sorry but as per your off-road rank you can’t join this drive, you’ll have to wait for your promotion to intermediate level. I removed you from the list.

Drive report I had decided on Thursday to change our meeting time from 5 to 5:15 because we had to cross a few technical dunes at the beginning and I wasn’t sure if all drivers would be confortable with night driving. As a result, the daylight was already on his way when we finished deflating and briefing. We started heading South, from the gazel farm to the long range dunes. @Foxtrot Oscar was my second lead and as always she did an amazing job. We had @Jorge Stepniak Felippe in sweep and @Shamil, who joined as a passenger with his friend @Roshan Abraham, was of great help from the back of the convoy. Thanks to all our fewbie plus drivers, @Mehmet Volga, @Jolly Abraham, @Anish S, @Roshan Abraham and @Jorge Stepniak Felippe who managed so well that we have been able to keep a good pace most of the time on this quite demanding terrain, with only a few refusals and stucks (nothing major though, just the minimum due to Faqaa) and one pop out (Roshan) close to the exit from Faqaa side. This didn’t prevent us to pay a short visit to our beloved « Little Sweihan » just before we exit to the track leading to Solar Park. Breathtaking views (especially the ghaf little forest midway), wild life (gazels, oryx), fair amount of adrenaline... Can't wait for our next drive in Faqaa...

Thank you everyone for the drive.

No worries @Lorenzo Candelpergher. Thanks for advising us.

@Chaitanya D I hadn’t paid attention to the fact that average and total speed were the same on your photo. I usually use moving speed on my gps, indeed. @Kalahari you’re right it wasn´t a very difficult area for leading but you maintained a good pace, which is impressive since it was your first lead.
