Thanks @Frederic for a really fun drive, very enjoyably paced, in a beautiful area. Extra marks for finishing next to an ADNOC oasis with a functional air pump. @Anoop Nair @Pascal @Zed @Imran Kashif- thanks for the support, patience and good humour when I provided this week's 'learning opportunity'. Imran and I have posted a few photos of it to the gallery for amusement and education. I will let you know when I post some more photos from my co-pilot Nigel later.
