Thanks @Bretteand @Looper for guiding us through to the end today, it was an interesting day out! I was in Sweihan 2 weeks ago and it seemed like a very different challenge today for sure! That's the beauty of the desert! Nice to get to know you @P C Lim and @Sam K @Mike M., @Jaro Tuzinsky I will upload some photos shortly to the gallery See you all soon on the sand...

There are speed cameras but it's worth the effort. I was there last weekend and it was the most fun drive I've attended so far, beautiful sloping dunes, and not much soft sand, 100% recommended! I would love to join but I can't this week because of a friends birthday. Have fun guys and hopefully see you the following week...

Thanks @Vanessa8580 for showing us such a fantastic place today, it was a really fun driving on those dunes, I was smiling quite a lot this week😄! Sweihan is really beautiful, I can't wait to go back! Thanks also to the team of @Amr Aydin, @Islam Soliman & @Naveen Raj. I really appreciated how you handled all of the events of the drive, it was really interesting to see how to handle the new challenges posed by what was a totally new terrain for me. Really nice to meet you @Anthony Tan & @Jaro Tuzinsky. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

Thanks for the gallery tip. I'll add them there. She has a Canon 77D with an 18-135mm lens. She is a graphic designer so very comfortable with the Adobe suite. She normally shoots in raw and cleans them up in lightroom.

Thank you @Frederic for leading us and for all the great advice, I really enjoyed it and learned a lot, thank you @Anoop Nair for showing us the easier route every now and then, special thanks to the one and only @Davie Chase for the tugs! You're a legend. This drive was my 4th drive with the club and posed some very nice and interesting challenges! It totally melted any ego I had so a big thanks to the desert for being so unpredictable! It was an absolute pleasure to meet all of you, looking forward to our seeing you again soon.

Hi @Rob S, I am looking for a similar mount to what you have for my Prado, would you mind sending me the garage name where you got the mount for the flag on whatsapp? +971505216121 Thanks, Stan

Hi @Brette I'm a bit confused because in the forum posting for first off-road drive checklist it does not mention the tire deflator, pressure gauge or compressor. Should I still attend tomorrow's drive if I do not have that gear? Thanks, Stan
