Dear Friends Before we head guys to the YT quest on the national day holidays let’s close together the chapter of Sweihan Drives , ( doesn’t mean we will not come back again 😅),before we translocate the action to the new chapter further south throughout the whole winter, Inshallah. In this version we will start from where we ended last time in Sweihan IV in a route direction ( from west to east ) similar to version II but it’s souther to it ( look below pict . Green is II and V is black ) . The terrain is indeed demanding especially in the middle of it at top of NAGRAH heights . Full concentration and focus is mandatory in this drive and no less in importance the optimum status of your 4X4 vehicles . I will be looking forward to have this closing drive with all of you. stay tuned !

Take extreme caution Haitham , if you don’t have a bash plate , as the radiator is too low in JGC and so delicate to trivial bumps . Ask me about it . Alternatively take the direct route straight to the gathering area

Thank you @Tareq Al Turq for your kind words. As you see the Lead always takes the first hits . It’s harsh environment where we are getting ourself into and the last thing we want is to make it more difficult if you loose your focus or go above your limits. There is nothing to prove in this risky motor sport other than a smooth delicate humble cooperation in a team spirit with tolerance and care. as a lead to certain extent I am responsible to the safety of all who drives and trusting me behind and in return they keep the communication and driving discipline to the highest standard .

GO NIGHT GO TECH Wanna drive night , dare to go technical … actually that’s what the friends did to day in such a lovely evening . Unleashing the power of our senses to keep the line and pace and when ever I got trapped in soft pockets my second lead and sweep spared no effort to double or even triple the rope in length and “ winch “ me out in no time while the rest exercised in shaveling clearing a sand wall here and there not forgetting the key man instructor directing the show in synchrony when the recoveries were in execution. .. guys you all rocked today 👌💪🙏 @Simon D @Tareq Al Turq @Senthil Kumar @Waqas Parvez @ASAD. and @Karthik Raptor It was a pleasure driving with all of you gents thanks for joining the drive and you took it amazingly well . wish you all good weekend ahead take care Seidam

Dear friends @ASAD. @Waqas Parvez @Tareq Al Turq @Karthik Raptor @Simon D and @Senthil Kumar Thank you for RSVPing this drive . The plan is to have a quick spin in the dark swinging between different kind of terrain which this area has to offer. Please be on time at the meeting point as mentioned above ( land mark : Mosque murqab , in case Google messes around 🤣) the convoy order and radio channel will be determined at the meeting point upon briefing . see you all tomorrow inshallah by 17:30 take care

No worries dear Gregory @Gregory

I enjoyed this outing last year and my wife told me I wish if we could go this year too . Unfortunately work calls and ain’t in my hand . 😔
