What an epic adventure!!!! Great banter, great driving, amazing landscape and expertly handled. The chuckle brothers @Arman and @Shehab Alawadhi were on top form, I'm sure you two should have a YouTube channel or something. The rumours of an alien invasion in Al Qudra have been quashed by two campers who have confirmed that the unearthly glow and low rumble was in fact a group of mad off-roaders. Great thanks to @Wrangeld, @Jeepie and @Alexander Alcala for their expertise, tutelage and dedication to the cause. Cannot wait for the next one, hope to see you all soon, have a great week.

thanks for today @Jeepie and @marks really enjoyed it, well done everyone, good pace and examples of self recovery, useful lesson on the pop out as well and how even the slightest angle can make it more challenging. See you all in the sand soon.

Well done Thomas, @thomasvarghese, well deserved, Winston Churchill once said, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the the courage to continue that counts." See you this weekend for the night drive, it is going to be epic.

don't leave us hanging @Shehab Alawadhi, I'm guessing night vision goggles, driving in pyjamas, new lights or truck mounted gaming rig?

Hi. I think I'm on already, this is my first drive? Wait listed for Marjan in the morning. Very happy to sweep.

congrats @Mario Cornejo very well deserved

Well done @Rob Harper great to meet you this weekend, good to have the trucks running together.

Hi Marjan, waitlist please for Suzy and I second drive, going to do Richard's night drive later on. Thanks.

It's really good, we were only 0.4km off yesterdays distance as well, 103 was the max I think, just been watching the extreme E from Allula in KSA, looks amazing terrain there, they are hitting 150 in the sand!!!! Two big crashes though, mini eggs and motorsport, heaven!!!

After a short interlude and sleep in my chair I would like to thank everyone for this morning's drive my first time in that area and it was brilliant, I think both convoy's managed to arrive at the exit within minutes of each other. thanks again everyone.

just delete the dot at the end of the link in your browser and it opens, I think I have done it right here https://goo.gl/maps/nw8T6zyYKBBUziK5A
