    Drive Report What a beautiful chilly morning it was, and it was perhaps meant to be that would be spending some time shoveling and fixing popouts We started the briefing a bit late (plz try to arrive a bit early to the drive if you can), and once we were in the sand we had some small refusals which are normal as a kind of warm-up. Once we visited Ghafteen bowl, where we took a short break overlooking the beautiful area, we ventured deeper into the technical dunes surrounding it. As we planned for a technical drive, this area surely delivered. At one point we had 3 pop-outs in a time span of perhaps 45mins 😁 Lessons to learn when entering technical areas is to ensure your tire pressure is where it should be, and not to force yourself too much making sharp turns, and if you have to make them, do them at a slower speed with lesser throttle. While fixing the last pop-out, we came across our Carnity brothers and sisters. a dynamic convoy led by our legend @Ale Vallecchi. Really great to meet up for a quick chat and to say hello ! As time was slowly running out, we quickly headed back into the dunes for a last spin in some smooth terrain and then exited near the NARC (National Avian Research Center). A fantastic second lead by @Juan R who showed with a Rubicon can do in capable hands during a brilliant self recovery. Great sweep duties from our trusty @Jeandre Bezuidenhout which kept an eye out for us all, and @Srikumar who was happy having the hands-on duties and enjoyed his morning in the sun ☺️ Thank you all for joining again and see you all soon in the sands !

We will be using Channel 4 - 446.081Mhz Please arrive a bit before 7 so you have time to deflate and set up your flag. We should be briefed and on the move by 7:15. As it's a sizeable convoy, the plan will be a mixture of smooth rolling dunes and some technical areas. Surely it will be fun See you tomorrow !

    Hi @Frederic118, we will be exiting at the same point where we started.

    Next to the looks (of course that comes first ), you want to make sure you are buying genuine rims, and no Chinese knockoffs. So whatever you choose (method, Black Rhino, Fuel, KMC), make sure you are buying from a respectable distributor. There's plenty in Al Quoz, on Umm Suquim road, or in Umm Ramool area. Not naming any shops as we don't advertise here.
