Hey Jerome, I had pulled out of the drive yesterday as we switched to another drive, hope to drive with you again soon!

Hi there, hope its not an inconvenience but we'd like to shift from our Ghantoot drive to this drive. 

Hi Kailas, Are off-road light needed for this drive?

Understandable, thanks anyways. 

Hi, would it be possible to squeeze us in as well?

 Hey @Vanessa8580, thanks for the wonderful Sweihan drive, it's always a fun one. @Rizwanm2congrats on your first lead, the route was great and we had a blast. @Zed and @Hisham Masaad, thanks for making sure the drive was fun yet safe. Once again, thanks to everyone for helping with the refusal, and thanks for sharing the videos @Gerrit Bus, always enjoyable to see things from a different POV. 

Hi @Vanessa8580our ETA is 6:05.

Hey, we are running about 10 minutes late, sorry for the inconvenience.

Alright, great. Thanks!

Hey there everyone, we are ecstatic! Will we need a proof of vaccination or a PCR test or anything related to that? As we are crossing into Abu Dhabi

Hi all, 

Well, that was a blast. It's what I call a 'flow' drive - the objective is to keep the convoy moving as smoothly as possible while still presenting lots of challenges along the way. 

Once you all got into the swing, and understood the Fewbie pace we needed, we flew, literally from dune to dune without problems. The fact we got so far without any real problems was testament to the excellent driving skills, focus and consideration for each other.

I was very impressed by the way you all negotiated the challenges and the room you gave yourselves and others on the convoy. Most incredible, is that you all covered some of the technical patches that put fear into the minds of many drivers, so they end up faltering and getting stuck. Instead, you all stuck with it and (maybe because I did not make a big thing of it) made your way through with only a few refusals and one car that needed digging out. 

It was all great practice for @JeromeFJ who was an excellent CF for what ever problems needed sorting. 

Drivers/drives of note:

@Lawrence_Chehimi - new wheels, new experience, great job as we would expect.

@Gerrit Bus - love the gladiator and the fact you just don't let the fact it's as long as a bus phase you. 

@Gurcharan Mehta - my apologies for questioning if you'll follow the line. You were impeccable. 

@Tareq Al Turq - last in, first out! Glad you were helped by everyone to get you going quickly.

All the rest - all the best. 

See you sometime in the sand. 

No need to apologize @Wrangeld. It was an absolute blast driving the technical dunes, we all had a lot of fun. And thanks for the later start time, really enjoyed sleeping that extra bit. 

Thanks you @Gerrit Bus for the video. Always fascinating to see the drive in a different POV.

Thanks to everyone else as well, it was a really fun drive. See yall again soon.

Edit: Thanks for the pictures @Joseph Raju, I really liked them.

Congrats! @Prakash Anoop

Thank you everyone. It's great to be a part of this club in a welcoming community.

Hello Everyone, just wanted to thank everyone for the drive. It was a fun experience and it seems that we all enjoyed it. I have added a few pictures to our gallery and also have this link for some of the videos recorded.
