Trip Report What a great morning it was still cool and relatively less humid than usual despite the change in climate over the last few days. every one was on time except @Zixuan Huang - Charlie who apparently missed his alarm , we equally missed you my friend . By 5:25 we were deflated flagged up and briefed after which we took the track south east. As you all have realized our journey took a course I have chosen not the usual one and in the first part we had to navigate bouncing between technical to medium and larger dunes at some time till the transmission temp red light appeared on the dashboard of @Rajiv Sam which we couldn’t find any apparent cause and probably it was due to frequent manual shifting between gears. After a 10 min pause and spraying cool water , it was gone forever till the end of the trip. Approaching AD boarder and looping in a triangle along the long medium dunes crossing till our first coffe break in sabkha Continuing fast on the track along the fenced military area and rejoining the desert where the boarders between the two emirates overlap and that was a little waw reminded me of the sand of Sweihan. No tracks except our own making. Our only pop out today let @Tom B use his jack which I really liked , thanks for the info . After seeing the team response is coping fluid we ran on the flat till we joined the most southern part heading toward Faqa proper. We looped crossed side sloped in the last one and a half hour along the soft sand in Faqa . And in this part we got few refusals and stucks including my own ones . No rope came out sparing us from visiting the gym till next week 🤣 Thank you all for coming and exploring new areas with me which I really loved it @Joji varghese @Simon Dawood and @Tom B as your first IM drive you did more than great all of you . Not forgetting to mention @Joji varghese awesome and flawless second lead job always vigilant and you kept the proper distance between you and the white X 😉 @Rajiv Sam it’s always a pleasure to have in any drive level . Thanks for the pictures @Daniel Yang great driving and you never spare a drive with out a beautiful tripod crest which never needed a tug at least in my drives 😅 well done. @Sunil Mathew thank you for taking the sweep position. You drove and safe guard us in the back just like a pro 👍 drive stat and some pictures I left in gallery below a relive for a memory till we meet next week drive safe and wish you good time cheers
