Great news @Sam K. I am sure you will enjoy the new level!

@M.Seidam thank you for a great drive this morning. It was nice to explore a new area, with varied terrain. We made the most of the small convoy, covering a whopping 99 km! @Joji varghese cracking job as 2nd lead. Well done! @Sunil Mathew solid support at sweep. Thanks for the support.

@Sam K that's a good tip on how to import gaia tracks into google earth. cheers

Thanks to all above. It’s been an absolute blast so far. Still lots to learn, but kudos to @Carnity for creating a club with such great community spirit and to all the marshals and support crew for making the drives so enjoyable.

Well done @Simon Dawood. Great achievement.

Put off by the size and weight of a 2T floor jack, I researched alternatives. Settled on a hybrid bottle jack design, supplied by Powerbuilt. Have tried it out a few times in the desert and am very pleased with it. It's very stable and easy to operate, with good height range. For non lifted cars it is a little tall, but one or two shovels of sand in the area you want to place the board quickly gives enough clearance.

@Srikumar thank you for an incredible drive this morning. As the title suggested, it certainly was an adventure! The early start and long drive to get there was well worth it; large open dunes, no tracks and beautiful scenery as a back drop made it a memorable drive. This is my third time in Sweihan area and it never disappoints. Criss crossing “old lady dune” during our “warm up” was certainly one of the highlights. Everyone drove superbly this morning, with minimal refusals and no stucks. And the two pop-outs didn’t hold us back for long. Plus gave me a chance to try out my new toy! @Warren Flay great job as SL. Not an easy task today. @Mus_hus78 thanks for sweeping this morning and I hope the dreaded engine fault light isn’t anything too serious. I managed to take a fair few pics along the way and have posted them in the gallery. See you all in the sand soon.
