Updated convoy order

Dear Freinds @Charbel @Haitham Khattab @Imran Kashif @Anoop Nair @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler @Imteeaz @ASAD. and from the support team @Vaibhav @Simon Dawood and @Waqas Parvez Hello and welcome to Sweihan Drives IV . I have prepared two versions of this drive the original one with the open limb of the " horse show loop " facing south via the the bowls of Strata , al salamat and alshatooha ending on E22 , and the second version being 270 degree facing west via the old lady dune and the pickup dune ending on E16. in either version the start point is the same and what governs which iterniray we will choose depends largely on how fast we pass the initial complex dunes. so be prepared for a brisk all in one drive . concenration and undevided attension is extremily important. no less is the radio communication . having said that please get a lot of rest before the drive. please notice that the meeting time is updated to 06:15 please be sharp on time meeting point : https://goo.gl/maps/KESoRwhmMDofpbey6 The nearest and last gas stations : for those coming via E22 from E66 route its alyaher gas station https://goo.gl/maps/SXjoWXFcQVCxdTAv8 for those coming via E16 its Al Sad gas station https://goo.gl/maps/ipMuhU49xpzWnWpx9 Please ensure your radio is fully charged and fixed to radio Channel 2 ( 44603125 ) convoy list as below Cheers Seidam

Dear Friends I was delighted meeting you all today morning. After a quick brief stressing on safety points we all got into our trucks taking the track leading to NAGRAH . Truth is I choose the longer way on track which is almost double the distance if would have started from E16 heading east. The main thing which made me choose it is that the sun reflection would be behind us after sun rise. In addition the terrain is better and easier to navigate though longer from east to west than visa versa. We took a detour from south ,entering the dunes , to west where @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler encountered right sided double pop outs which was dealt as fast as possible by the team and we moved on looping and bowling up and down till we rejoined the track again. just before reaching the mighty dune I got my first sideway crest which with couple of shoveling, thanks to ever one,I could side it down to climb one more dune before facing the slip face of NAGRAH. I was surprised of the endless scars , I mean cross tracks everywhere but more it was semi quite where we sow couple of convoys that some how we understood each other😅. The climb from this face was bumpy and softy so after couple trials we looped to see what is behind and that was epic. with such high altitude and long huge sidys with criss cross entailed precise control and guys you have nerves of steel . Well done every one. Time passing fast till we realized it’s 9:00 and the old lady was waiting patiently in the far south . Sorry we missed you this time as I preferred to get stuck in super soft area better than to get in a nasty V shaped ditch which could be far worse. Thank you @Waqas Parvez for the attempt and @Karthik Raptor later to bring us both down when the rope was tight. Sometimes it’s good to have the power in such situations 😅. on the way back on the track as it was approaching 10 am the final tricky stuck had to be mine as well as I was trying to short cut it to the leading track to exit but I noticed the broken fence late while I was on the crest . One more brilliant tug from @Waqas Parvez and I was safely home 🙏 @Waqas Parvez for me the true second lead is a leader and you were today. Your corrections , notifications suggestions and guidance to our friends especially on top of NAGRAH was so remarkable and truly appreciated let alone the last brilliant tug when I was in awkward trick position. Keep it up 👍 @Haitham Khattab you drove like a pro brother and climbing the massive dune from behind made me to think was it really your first IM drive 😉. Thanks as well whenever help needed . Well done @Santoso Marjukipleasure having you today and trust me even bead-locked tires can pop out at a pressure like 5psi especially when tackling super large dunes at NAGRAH. Thank you indeed for all the help during recovery . Hope coming from AD city was worth it 🙏 @Imran Kashif after today I am not anxious at all seeing you controlling and taking the wise call always safely. You drive really very good today . 👍thanks for all the help as well 🙏 @Imteeazsecond time in a row in Sweihan . As you see each drive has it’s own charisma . Hope you enjoyed it today . I will send you the clip but first my 20 Derhams first 🤣 . Well done 👍 @Karthik Raptor pleasure having you in any drive . I always say we don’t need the extra power to climb but today we needed it in saving my rope from being cut 🤣 . Thanks for the accompany @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler probably the double pop out made you more vigilant regardless you drive safely and as I knew you always . Well done 👍 @ASAD. Fine drive and powerful climb precise control . Pleasure meeting today my friend 🙏 @Vaibhav Thank you dear for watching our back today . Flawless drive as well and treat to the eye seeing conquering NAGRAH.👍 All and all I enjoyed it learned from it and mostly I had a good time with you my friends stay tuned for next week 😄 Cheers Seidam
