Hi @Sreenath G, do you have any updates? Thanks

Hi @Bjoern. You are welcome to join. Thanks a lot.

Tomorrow's meeting and deflation point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/D6Afa6YmXy1U2PJx5 Thanks

@Marek_was003 you may join the drive, if you wish. Please let me know ASAP. Thanks

Dear Desertnauts sorry for the short briefing, due to my return from a long business trip. I will explain more and be more detailed tomorrow, just before starting. In the meantime, find below the convoy order: @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke in Second Lead @Dan S at #3 @Rafey Hashmi at #4 @mahesh at #5 @Gurcharan Mehta at Center @Abhilash Kottakkal at #7 @Gautam Banka at #8 @frederic demolder at #9 @Sreenath G at #10, and @Ashutosh Garg in Sweep. I do encourage all to come with a full tank, as the drive should be quite long (but not enough to need a jerry can). The radio channel will be chosen on the spot (among Carnity's published frequencies). Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, for a timely departure at 8:00 AM. Have a nice Sunday.

Dear @Faraz94, thanks for your request. Please remain on standby, while I check if anyone from the Support Team may join. I don't have any seniors in the convoy, and would prefer to increase its size if I can be assisted by another senior. Thanks for your patience.

Dear Desertnauts a short briefing for a last-minute drive, almost improvised after it had been thought about several times but never actually done. With the idea in mind to organize long treks, and even cross-emirates full day or weekend drives, it's very important to find a passage between the vast pockets of dunes separated by roads, villages, private properties and nature reserves. This particular drive seeks to join Faqa with Badayer, allowing eventually to drive nonstop between 2nd December (Pink Rock) and Qudra or Ghanthoot, via Badayer, Faqa and Little Sweihan. Likely the passage from Faqa to Badayer (or vice versa) will not be on clean isolated cordons, but more likely through farms and fenced in areas. Once we reach Area 53, south of Badayer, we'll shoot north toward the planned exit at Badayer shops. The convoy order at the moment looks like this (alternating higher ranks with less experienced drivers): @Looper in Second Lead @Gautam Banka at #3 @Pacific at #4 @frederic demolder at #5 @Sunil Mathew at #6 and @FERNANDO SYRIO in Sweep. We'll meet at 3:00 PM, or a little earlier, at a roundabout on the Al Ain-Dubai side of the highway, which should be accessible, coming from Dubai, by taking the exit toward the Faqa Police Station, and turning around, under the highway. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow afternoon.

They are separated by an area dominated by a nature reserve, which makes it difficult, or at least very unusual, to want to join these two areas in one single drive. We'll be looking for the passage from Faqa to the southern-most sector of Badayer, also known as Area 53, or Al Madam. Once through this corridor, we'll head up to Super and Iftar Bowl, with the goal of exiting at Badayer shops. This route should open up future possibilities for long 1-day tracks, from Pink Rock all the way to Faqa and beyond, or vice versa. Bring your explorers' mood. Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance.
