Thanks everyone for showing up and having a great morning out in the sand.. My drive summary will be very short: everyone drove very well and in control on some sand that was unsual because of the wetness. we really conquered some amazing pristine areas. really felt like we kept a fast pace up most of the time, and just turning curve into curve into curve was magical. thanks everyone for shovelling me out multiple times 🤪 . See you all again in the sand soon, and enjoy your week! @ChrisW @Aser @Andrew John Melvill @M.Seidam @Soap @Zsolt @Krinesh @Diego @JC_E @Abdullah A. @Ahmed Farouk @nithish468 👏

nice one @Ash S. well deserved. See you on some FB+ drives soon!

Masterclass on how to use a shovel 😎😅

Guys. Please expect some mild fog in Abu Dhabi / al Ain in the morning and plan accordingly 🙏 Thanks @M.Seidam

We started the drive right on time at 07:00, entering an area dominated by hard-packed sand. Early into the drive, I experienced two front tyre deflations, highlighting how unforgiving hard surfaces can be at lower pressures. Both were managed without major delay, and the convoy continued smoothly. The main part of the drive consisted of multiple loops and back-and-forth runs on long-range dunes, allowing the convoy to build rhythm and maintain a steady pace. These sections offered good flow and consistency, with @Diego doing an excellent job as second lead, maintaining spacing and keeping the convoy well aligned through the extended dune runs. We stopped for a short break, giving everyone time to regroup and check vehicles. Later in the drive, a tyre pop-out occurred. The situation was handled quickly and efficiently by the support team, with @Imteeaz @Aser and @JC_E stepping in to reseat the bead and get the vehicle moving again with minimal downtime. A second break was taken at the fox den, providing a relaxed stop before the final leg of the drive. From there, we transitioned into a more technical dune section, requiring tighter control and careful line selection. @Andrei S and @Bjoern did a solid job keeping a close eye on the convoy and ensuring everyone cleared the technical sections safely. Once through, we moved back onto long-range dunes and sabkhas, enjoying a fast, flowing run all the way to the exit. The drive concluded safely with all vehicles exiting without further issues, rounding off a well-balanced session combining long-range cruising, technical challenges, and strong teamwork across the convoy. Thanks all for attending! @Albert_Spa @Nabeel Abdul Rahman @Ash S. @Myrko @Diego @JC_E @Zsolt @Krinesh @Imteeaz @Ahmed Farouk @Andrei S @Aser @Bjoern
