@Srikumar I have to unfortunately withdraw from this drive, which has been happening for past few weeks😔 with other drives as well because of my head gasket issue which is taking time to fix, was expecting the car to be ready today. 

I will miss this epic drive and the convoy. 

That's a blow! Disappointing!!

I am sure no one going to mistake Al Quaa for Al Qudra not for a drive that is sooo much anticipated. But you never know!!

U may loop un come bak...

Mind blowing. It got filled up the very second it opened.  I thought I was fast but was lucky to the 10th!  Just sneaked into it. @Srikumarand team pls also guide on good spots to meet and camp. 

@JeromeFJSorry Jerome. I have to excuse from this drive. Something has cropped up for Saturday. All the very best guys, have fun! 

Hello @Gaurav Soniboss, I hv to pull out man. There is heavy weather evening ahead for me with some friends arriving unexpectedly. Will not make it. Safe drive everyone. 

Hi @KailasI am dropping out.  Sorry. Have a early morning flight to Saudi tomorrow. Will not wake up in time I fear. Enjoy the drive everyone. 

Hello Rizwan, sorry I have to drop out. I have a dinner company party tonight that will not make me fit for early morning ! Have a nice safe drive with everyone. 

@GauravSoniPls check the starting point for us. Gautham just pointed out it is Akoya as of now and I also saw same. 

Confirming 

Good fun today @GauravSoni as the Lead ... Lots of good advice, action, Soft sands .... Well accomplished a satisfying drive....

hello guys. It was a pleasure to have each one of you on board and thanks for an absolute stunning drive. You all were soo amazing today making it a memorable and colourful drive. We started at 7.15, and my apologies for being late for few minutes. The convoy was ready at the meeting point when i arrived and after deflating my car, @marks   announced the convoy order and we started the show with a side slope. Surprisingly today we didnt come across many cross tracks and the drive went on smooth with out any stucks. We did not use any recovery gears today except to assist the tourist car which was towards the conclusion of the first part.There were a couple refusals that were self-corrected. We got to try most of the large dunes in the region today, and everyone performed fantastic. I hope you all had as much fun driving as I did. It was great to see another Carnity convoy led by @Hisham Masaad and @Brette, as well as familiar faces like @Vaibhav  @Waqas Parvez, and others. A tourist car became trapped towards the end of the trail at area 53, and they requested rescue help. Myself and @marks attempted to pull the car out, and it took us about 20 minutes to rescue the tourist vehicle. @Gok Krish and @Amir Amiri departed the drive at area 53 at the end of the first part of the dive, and the convoy continued to move further ahead through big red and pink rock area. Our actual intention was to make it to Nazwa all the way.. but then it was 10.45 already and we decided to end the drive at 2nd december street attempting a few more play spots in the area.

@Ranjan Dasthank you for a terrific and vigilant 2nd lead today. Most of the time i didnt have to announce it on the radio for any hazards or for rerouting...you did it as and when needed. It seems our chemistry work well now a days.
@Naveen Raj... man you were superb today with your pajero and what a performance buddy...👏👏👏
You are in compleat sync with your car and didnt even see any sign of difficulty. well done bro

@Daniel Yang. did outstanding job dude.. I dont think this terrain could post any challenges to you or your Y61 today . good job buddy.
@Chris Wing.. the FJ boy.. great man. It was nice to see your performances through out the drive and handled ur FJ to perfection. Keep it up buddy.
@Anoop Nair.. excellent work buddy. Did have a few refusals which is mostly unavoidable for the cars at the back of the convoy in such demanding terrains. i believe you had a good day today. 👍👍
@Humayun Ghias. it was a pleasure meeting you and driving with you for the first time. You did great with your Y62, and was nice to see you conquering dunes with raw power and precised maneuvering. well done

@Gok Krish.excellent work friend. It was lovely to hear you over the radio directing the drivers during refusals and i am sure you had a good time . Man .. you missed out the grand finale today 😉🤣
@Amir Amiri.. You and your monster truck....unstoppable man.. did great today and hope you did have fun...but like @Gok Krish you missed it mannnn. 🤣🤣

Now time for the war front heros..😉😉 @JeromeFJ and @marks. Guys it was a blessing to have you guys in the convoy today and thanks to you guys for controlling and sweeping the convoy and for all your assistance and support from the start to the end of the drive. You guys made it an effortless drive for me. Thank you. Thank you all once again and see you soon. Some pics in the gallery 

Hi Shaaz, Great drive. I missed the last part but had enough dose of super driving by the time I had left...Here is the video of us scaling up the first sand dune within 100 meters from the point of deflation! Fantastic start and adrenalin boost and it set the tone for the rest of the drives. I think all dunes in the area had our tyre prints from the sides to the top...thanks for the entertainment and Lead.

He he! 

Dear Ale. Car under weather with some AC issues ... Signing our regretfully! What to do...

Terrific and look forward to it 

Dear @Shaaz ShaGokul here. Pulling out of drive. My daughter has to rush back to Chennai as her college reopens on 1st Feb. So, I have to skip the drive in prep. Was enjoyable last week and will make up coming week. Have a safe drive everyone. Sand has got a bit softer now so have fun.

So excited haha 

Yalla Yalla...Ready Ready...Eveready!! Bring it on!!!!

Dear Shaaz, I want to drop out as a precaution as I have been in proximity to two of my office colleagues who have tested positive. Gone for the tests myself waiting on results. Do not want to be a spreader just in case. Safe drive everyone. Keep distance as this is very spready spready ...

Hisham...sorry I cannot make it ..and apologies for informing after the convoy list is drawn. My daughter departs in evening to India and I underestimated our time together so will have to give her company. Have a good and safe  drive ...

Hi @Kailasvehicle still making that noise after a 6 hour stay in Trading ent workshop. Excuse pls as I do not want to aggravate to major drive train issues. 

Dear M.Seidam, excusing myself out of the drive as my vehicle makes a squeaky noise when engaged in 4wd and when given Gas. Jeepers identified the need to change the spring but I hv not had enough time to sort it out. Let me get that sorted and look forward to joining next drives. 

Hi Guys, I am a little late to post this...Thanks @Asif Hussain for the great start. You were selfless in your approach submitting your vehicle for the sacrifice at the start, hope now car is okay, nothing major.  May be out trip went off smoothly accomplishing great heights and drops clocking a lot of kms at a decent pace. Thanks @Shaaz Shafor the taking over, great drive it was - just out of the world stuff...

@Looperas always my reliable partner to check how his wrangler is performing vs mine w.r.t temperature but I found he now has some extras 1) refrigerator useful for the evenings 2) winch useful for the drives 3) last but not the least, he also has a crawl mode on sand, which was loving demoed the previous night 

 @Josh T. Good to see u....

@Karthikeyan Govindarajan Nice to see u, first time drive with you

 @Chris Wing will come to pick your brain if i went to buy the FJ - hope u will close your loop with all your country men soon

@Xavier Treasurer Great guys, good meeting Pak @Zed where are the drone videos? @Xavier TreasurerSame here, after while meeting you, and was cannot forget your rescue attempt for Karthik with no showel, rope etc... ha ha but you offered him moral support we know....

@Jeepie Thanks always for you keeping the count of the flock from the back .... Great to travel with you, thanks for the LnM Menthols, after that I have not touched them  See u all soon!!!!!

PS: the first 9 minutes reach us to the farms. from the 9th to the 15th minutes is where the huge drops are captured.
