Drive Report

thank you everyone for reporting early morning today. we started our briefing just before sun rise and we were ready to move even before te sun rise. its was perfect weather today morning with plenty of heavy clouds covering the sky. 

we started our exploration from the northern part of the Badayer, which gave us enough time to warm up under heavy clouds and low visibility. During this session we covered plenty of technical dunes as well, to my surprise everybody did exceptionally well without any stuck or refusal. Then gradually we moved to southern high grounds of area 53. After about 1 and half hour from start @Gurcharan Mehta informed that he and the passenger is not feeling well. so we looped back to almost starting point to make an early exit for our friends.  Thank you doctor @M.Seidam for assisting me and convoy by leading us to the early exit. 

after a quick break we started our climbing session which was not an easy task, the track was heavily churned and there were lot of traffic also in the area. only couple of refusals where everyone was able self recover with help of @M.Seidam precise instructions... 

Even i had fare share of desert bruise today when i suddenly dive in to uneven dune. Thank you everyone for help me sort out the bumper. after couple of back n forth loops we started heading towards out exit from far northers driving along Dubai sharjah border fence. 

@M.Seidam you are the star of the drive today for helping and motivating each and everyone of us. When i have such a great support in convoy have no worry or fear to conquer any terrain. Thank you very much my friend. 🙏

@Haitham Khattab You are truly amazing second lead, precisely doing what i want you to do even before i inform you. Thank you very much. 💪

@Brett Eicher i didnt hear much from you during the drive, hope you enjoyed the track today 🙂

@Imran Kashif You also drove very well today, 

@Gurcharan Mehta I hope you enjoyed the early bit of the drive,  

@takeshi sobue Hope today track was piece of cake for your monstrous FJ Cruiser.

@Rizwanm2 thank you very much for a fantastic drive.

Bar far the most challenging drive I’ve been on, loved all elements especially the ridge ridding, concentration levels were through the roof.

I certainly have things to work on, especially climbing the big dunes.

@Hisham Masaad apologies for you having to drive right behind me, I am sure it wasn’t the most elegant thing to watch. However thanks for taking the time to give me some very useful advise.

@Tom B & @Sam K great to drive with you both, a real treat for me.

@Thomas Varghese great to drive with you again.

@Sunil Mathew @Gurcharan Mehta, great to meet you both!

Thanks again @Rizwanm2

we all been there my friend... 

dont worry you will master it in no time.. 👍

Drive report

Thank you very much everyone for signing up and turning up early morning, By 5.15 AM total of 8 cars deflated and rock  and roll the desert. So we did our brief and head out towards the pink rock without any delay. I started with slow and pace so everyone can warmup their cars and muscles nicely.

It was very good drive till pink rock without zero refusal or stuck.  To my surprise there was little bit of high wind near to pink rock area which made the riding surface very soft. It was like we are riding the slip face of the dunes. But everybody did exceptionally well and we reached pink rock well before my target time.  We scaled pink without any problem and crossed over to the east side of the pink rock and started our journey towards big red.  at the beginning there were lot of cross tracks in this area after dodging the cross tracks then we are in medium range dunes where we manage to do lot of ridge riding and Criss cross.  It was literally about 30 mins of continues ridge riding. Everybody did exceptionally well in this area as and I was like literally flying through the dunes.

Also we covered high dunes of east side of big red before we reach big red. Everybody had their fair share of climbing experience before we took exit exactly at 9.00 AM

In total we covered 50Km off road which is way more than what i expected.  Well-done for everyone. 

Thank you @Thomas Varghese for your excellent support as second lead. A trusted friend behind me is always peace of mind. 

@Sam K you did exceptionally well and you managed your FJ like a pro. 

@Jonny90 you also did very well, during the first half of the drive you were like in learning stage and at the end you become a pro. Well done mate you are a quick learner.

The presence of @Hisham Masaad was the biggest confidence for me. Thank you very much for being patient and giving me tips and tricks through out the drive.

@Gurcharan Mehta and @Tom B the Landcruiser boys were in perfect sync. im amazed how you guys scaled all the high dunes like eating piece of cake. Well-done guys.

@Sunil Mathew I didn’t here much from you in the radio until we reach the end. Now I know you enjoyed the drive is my pleasure.

Final thank @Tom B for sweeping the convoy and keep everyone safe at the back. Sorry If your daughter didn’t get much time for her sand board. May be next time 😜

last but not least please share photos if you have to recollect our memories 🙏

Have a nice week ahead... 

here is the updated convoy list.

Dear Friends,

@Thomas Varghese  @Sam K  @Jonny90  @Waqar Sarwar  @Shahid Mehmood  @Sunil Mathew @Tom B @Hisham Masaad

Thank you for signing up for this drive. im very eager to hit the dunes tomorrow morning, Our plan for tomorrow is to get an early start from Nazwa farms towards pink rock, There are plenty of nice dunes to practice some ridge riding and criss cross. after crossing pink rock will head towards south.  There are plenty of medium range clean dunes in this area which is my favourite.  our grand finale will be at big red dunes as  an end to our grand sand buffet... 

I will post convoy numbering and radio channel details later today.  Hope to see you all tomorrow morning 5.00 AM
