I am going to change the time to 4:30 p.m. instead of 3:30 pm please take a note. @Jon L & @Abhilash Kottakkal

It will almost be like a newbie drive. Obviously because we are going a fair bit into the dives we must secure everything properly.

DRIVE PLAN First time when I descended into the Ghafteen Bowl a couple of years ago the first thought I had was it is a great spot for camping. Flat on the ground, covered by an amphitheater like bowl, where the sun will rise a bit late. So, let's start the camping season with our first drive & camp this Saturday afternoon. Though it is a FB drive, it will be an easy drive throughout. You are obviously welcome to bring your family including kids and their toys. We will reach into the bowl around 6 p.m. just about the sunset time, so that we will have some light for us to set up the tents. Bring your own food and drinks, but we will sit all together either at the screen or at the bonfire in one / two big circles. We will have a movie night; I would ask for suggestions from all the participants (PG 13 at max). We will have a bon fire depending on the temperature because the winter is still not cold enough for but will try. The Music / Movie etc. though Speakes will be cut off at 12:00 am midnight but participants are welcome to have lively discussions into the night. However please keep it civil and be considerate to the children who should be sleeping. We will move out of the area at about 7:00 - 7:30 am Sunday morning. and end the drive at Sweihan at about 9:30-10:00 a.m. MOST IMPORTANT: NOTHING SHOULD BE LEFT BEHIND IN THE BOWL PICK UP EVERYTHING YOU BRING WITH YOU MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IN YOUR CAR IS PROPERLY SECURED ----------- GENERAL OVERVIEW We request every member that joins this drive to go through the information below and strictly follow these guidelines, etiquette and responsibilities.

It was a usual bumpy ride that Badayer offers, but we started the drive with a great view of the sunrise. We climbed both Iftar Bowl and Super Bowl. In total we did ~ 58 km in 3 hours. thank you @Marek, @Mahesh_, @Cristian , @Mahmoud Taha for joining the drive.

We are all good to go. See you at 6 Take this route instead of going through the service road. We will be on Ch 2 convoy will be done in the morning

DRIVE PLAN This drive is a quick fix for those who crave for one more drive but don't have much time. A regular rerun of the drives we did few times in the past. We meet a little ahead of Badayer Shops and drive straight ahead, with the war cry "Yalla Push". It will be short quick drive. we will start at 6:15 and end by 8:30 so that we can inflate and leave the area by 9:00.

Yeah it is same.

Last week we drove for DCT. It was a fascinating area up from Ghafteen Bowl down south in a straight line. Very challenging; doesn’t seem like that in the videos but, very technical but in between tall dunes. It will be a drive I would again in the near future. Towards the end my car engine got busted. 😭 had a crank case oil leak (Edit).

Congratulations @Tharun Kumar V on your promotion, well done.

see you in the morning. This will be 3rd week of camp and drive.

@Rajiv Sam, @Zak_, @Tharun Kumar V, @Faraz94, @Anoop Nair, @Jeandre Bezuidenhout, @Brett Eicher, @Zulfikhar Naiyar, @Bjoern. Please see below the convoy order for tomorrow morning drive. We will be looping on Ch: 2
