Today’s drive was for everyone a real challenge. The track proposed by Federic was 80 Km long! The Drive We started with a set of small dunes under the clouds just at the beginning of the drive, I was not aware about how beautiful the next area was, so I was surprised to see such tall, clean dunes. We dug into them and it was incredible! We spent almost 1h1/2 there when I realized that we were late on my drive plan so decided (not easy) to move to the next area, We tried to avoid flats on the way to the Solar park. We had to deal with some small technical dunes but so far so good :). At that point it was late and, with an estimation around 40 minutes to get to Bab El Shams when it was already 11:10, we decided to exit early to Solar Park. We covered 78 Km with almost 25Km/h as average (moving) speed ! I want to Thank you all for the enthusiasm and how everybody handled this amazing drive! The convoy: @Craig Finlayson: was an AMAZING second lead, keeping the right distance and able to find an immediately alternative path when I was digging in a pocket or a nasty area. Thank you for your support! (ant for the three tugs ) @Anand Nataraj: you are completely into the intermediate level, you managed also very well the problem with your leak on the tire hope that you managed to find the issue. @Islam Soliman: I meet you first time in Abu Dhabi. I found today an impressive improvement. Your Yukon is not an easy toy to handle. Well Done! @Ahab Shamaa I love your enthusiasm, Your dive style is amazing and I hope that you enjoyed the drive! Just one question... Why did you choose today to have your first Poput?? @Ashok chaturvedi : I hope that you enjoyed the drive with us, you are handling your FJ very well, See you on the sand soon then! @Tariq Carrimjee: you follow our crazy drive with your full open Wrangler.. I bring one ton of sand at home.. Did you do the same? @Francois Germishuys: I was looking at you (and Islam) everytime I coud. I know that handling a beast is not a joke especially in technical areas. You did perfectly, your style is amazing! @marks: Sweeping today was not an easy task, thank you for your help. I was not feeling at all that I was bringing 8 other cars on that adventure. Was because of you and @Craig Finlayson! Hope to have the chance to drive with you soon then!

Ok thank you @Ilya Golubinsky

To everyone, due to the lack of joiners and after checked that everybody accepted to be relocated on different drives, the event is cancelled. I hope to see you again on the sand very soon anyway! Luca

Hi everyone, here the drive report The drive: Just with a little delay after a short briefing (following the COVID 19 rules) via radio we started driving easily to let everybody warm-up. Played a bit on nice bowls on the route between our starting point and Fossil rock. While approaching we noticed that was crowded, so decided to avoid climbing from the front side because too many tracks were making the climb bumpy and uncomfortable. Approached from the side, and it was much better. Reached the top we found a group who was playing with a sort of huge parrot. We spent some time there before continuing. From that moment on the pace and the level raised. Just after Fossil rock we found our first challenge and then a wonderful virgin area on the route to Faya (Back Side). Playing on that tall dune was wonderful, we enjoyed several climb/bowl/side slopes before reaching the top. Decided then to go down and see if it was possible to climb from the front side. Unfortunately it was not. Several groups were going up & down at different speeds and directions. We decided to climb again from the left side. Here @Michael Glavanis had an issue, the oil light of his car was on so he had to get out. Fortunately we were just close to the exit and @Pancho was with him. Continued our drive enjoying the wonderful area when, almost on the bottom of the back side, @Malachy McGrogan had a popout. We sorted out with the help of @Gaurav that was nearby. The convoy. Everyone was amazing! @Malachy McGrogan thank you for your excellent second lead, always present and followed all my suggestions without any hesitation. @Joe Biju Joseph was the most energetic between us, always smiling and positive! @Michael Glavanis, british in his drive style, attitude and his car! I hope that everything was good on the way home! @Nathan Evans I was watching you almost all the time, interested in how your Jimny was doing. I found it impressive how you improved during the dive. Hard to say that you were the same that had to reroute after fossil rock when I saw you climbing handling your car perfectly on Faya! A special thanks to @Pancho for the support as sweep and @Gauravwith@Gauravwith the new leaders for the help! So, I hope that you enjoined drive as I did, See you on the sand then!

Congratulations!!!! @Lorenzo Candelpergher!!!!!! Vwry well deserved!!!

I don’t know how to express my gratitude to @sertac for giving me the opportunity to lead on such a wonderful drive! I was blessed with all of the joiners. You were amazing! In the beginning I was thinking about pushing a bit to set up the right level... But all of you were responding so well that, in the end, when I needed to cross some Sabkha to point Faya I felt worried about boring you! Hard to classify the convoy today’s performance into Fewbie boundaries, we pushed almost always the level to Fewbies+ and little up even. Many thanks to @Mehmet Volga our impeccable CF and @Thomas Varghese our sweep! @Mehmet Volga was impeccable from the beginning of his CF role, always comfortable with any situation and almost impossible to reach a refusal before him! @Thomas Varghese after a little 'warm up' on his new role was doing his job very well! Thank you again to everyone. All of you made my first lead a unique experience, can’t wait to see you all on the sand again!

Congratulations @Brette
