Well done and congrats @Zulfikhar Naiyar !

Well done @Beide Worku !!

Strangely enough I’ve heard more of these stories, and @Simon Dawood was having a similar issue last weekend. Looks like a Google Maps issue I think

Thanks for the great report @Davie Chase ! The drive stats indeed show we made good progress, and that's a testament to the way the guys drove today ! Your fantastic support was no doubt one of the reasons for that. @Bertrandand @Sebb i hope you guys made it out both safely. Was the meeting point giving wrong directions ? (we heard that happening a few times the last couple of weeks, i am not sure if this was the issue or not). @Rajat Verma not a foot wrong as a superb second lead, thanks buddy ! @Martin M rocking the Bronco you did amazing, so did @Frans M with that beautiful Landcruiser !! @Bishoy Ibrahim you were getting more and more comfortable throughout the drive it seemed to me, and that's great to see, keep it up ! @Lukas overall a very smooth drive for you. The Pajero can go everywhere and you seem to be in total control. @Mark Birch i love the sight of a Gladiator, and the driver inside had a smooth sailing day today. Brilliantly done ! @Glenn Waters and @Bhaskar both with the fantastic looking Montero Sport. I've put you both together in the convoy and you both drove effortlessly. @Anish S thanks for being my trusty sweep, it was great seeing you again after a long gap. Hope that your employer is lenient on you the coming winter months so we get to meet up more often @Srikumar we always have a blast when driving together, and this was no different !

DRIVE RSVP IS NOW CLOSED @Rajat Verma@Martin M @Frans M@Bertrand@Bishoy Ibrahim @Davie Chase@Sebb@Lukas@Mark Birch@Glenn Waters@Bhaskar@imranaasghar81 Goodmorning Carnitees ! I am looking forward for a morning of shoveling, joking, and occasionally some off-roading with you all A few pointers before we meet up: - Please bring your offroad gears (radio, compressor, shovel, offroad flag, deflator) - Please make it on time and make it a habit of arriving with a full gas tank. - We will be using Carnity Channel 2 - 446.03125 Mhz You will be in the good hands of @Davie Chase , and @imranaasghar81, who have been around since the dinosaurs spoke, and will help you out on every occasion needed. The drive plan is to start at Lisaili Fort, and make our way to the nice open dunes in Al Hathmah, and then if all goes well head towards Murquab. This area is very suitable for beginners and not too busy. Hope to see you all tomorrow morning !

Good morning @Martin M ! I noticed you have not done any drives with us yet, so i wanted to give you a warm welcome to the club and at the same time request for the following: 1. Do you have any offroading experience ? If so please elaborate a bit 2. Which 4x4 are you bringing ? 3. Does your 4x4 have tow points at the front and rear and they are in good condition ? Thanks !

Well done @salah2u !!

Congrats @Haitham Khattab !!! Well deserved !

I would not go for beadgrip, this is not necessary in my opinion. What you need is a good all terrain tyre with decent high profile, and 17" rims. You'll see most people in the club with this combo and it works great. 265/65/17 Yokohama Geolandar tyres will be around 450-500 AED each from what i recollect. Good Luck !

May the sun in your life never set May it always rise high and above With a convoy as great as we had yesterday, we probably could keep driving all night till early morning. We set off from the Faqa sabkha after a short briefing and headed off into the typical Faqa terrain. The lonely trees, shrubs, and other vegetation is hugged by glorious dunes, tall or small. For some of you this was probably your first FB level drive, and even better the first one that's partially in the dark. As you noticed, once it gets dark, the senses work totally differently, and you have to be much more aware of every obstacle on your path. With the brilliant help of @munkybiznessand @Simon Dawoodwe were invincible and carved our way through sometimes very tight patches. All of you drove really well ! @Tom V your second lead was fantastic, shame about the shredded tyre on the way out, but alas i guess this was the desert trying to keep us @Sayed Bilal @Yaseen87@premindra rajaram@Feras_Sh@Harshal looking for more adventures with you all ! You guys drove great ! We covered some good distance, but honestly i cared much more for the break times in-between where we could enjoy the fantastic scenery and have a chat with each other. Coming out of Covid and finally being able to socialize again is so precious. To all my Hindu, Sikh, or Jain friends, i wish you all a Happy Diwali 2022 ! See you all soon in the sands again !

Only part of the total weight will be resting on the board. We never tried helicopters though 😅
