Brette

Thank you @Veedoosheefor the excellent trip report. Well done. Khatam has some nice small dunes that have patches of really soft sand in between them and negotiating that has turned out to be a bit tricky for newbies in the past but the convoy today did really well with just a few refusals. We headed first towards the Maliha play area where we did a few low sideys mainly for the first time drivers to practice a bit. Once we moved out from the play area, we found ourselves surrounded by very bushy terrain where we had to keep the pace really slow and negotiate some steep descents to get back towards the tracks. Truly impressed with the way everyone handled that area, especially @Luc Khaldoun and @James Thorn since both of you drive beasts. Once on the flat, we back tracked a bit to get around all the vegetation and then headed to Camel Rock and then to Faya where we spent the last 45 minutes and everyone got to practice a few sideys or climbs depending on how many drives they have already done. Thank you @Ammar Najifor being the perfect 2nd lead , @Veedooshee and Doc, @M.Seidam for the exceptional support and everyone else for being a great convoy. Well done everyone and look forward to driving with all of you again.

Let me know if you are not able to make it.

@jeetu sharmawe also have @Abdul Rafay-Son waitlist and if you are not going to make it, 8 pm would be to llate to confirm. Would appreciate if you can confirm latest by 5 or I will offer the spot to Abdul so he has time to plan accordingly.

@Sunil Mathew there is no hard and fast rule about bringing family members along, we advise, when asked, for newbies and fewbies to come alone since you are still learning and any lapse in concentration could end badly. It is more of a safety protocol. Another thing we have noticed is that passengers often tend to feel sick or have motion sickness when looping through dunes. If that happens, it tends to slowdown or hold up the entire convoy. That being said, the final decision is still yours to make. @jeetu sharmaplease confirm if you are still upto to joining as a spot has become available.

Look forward to meeting you too @Clay Neddo

@Roy Armale you have been added to the drive as it is your first drive.
