nice one @Ash S. looking forward to seeing you on a IM drive soon! (or a normal fewbie drive for more ginger karak )

Good morning @Aser @Cristian @_Herman_ A short convoy is a fast convoy. I will send convoy order tonight once rsvp officially closes at 5pm. Looking forward to sharing @_Herman_ first IM drive in such a nice location!

lived to tell the tale and post the GPX track!

Plenty more to come. See you on one soon @Sebastian Nohse

Will deserved _herman_ 👏

We started the drive with a short warm-up section before heading deeper into the Al Adlah dunes for a proper night run. The conditions were great, with soft fresh sand and mostly untouched lines throughout the area. The convoy settled into a nice rhythm early on, linking together long ridge sections and flowing criss-crosses through the bigger dunes. Visibility was challenging at times, as expected on a new moon night drive, but everyone maintained good spacing and communication on the radio which kept the convoy moving smoothly. There were a few refusals during the drive, mostly on some of the softer technical climbs, but recoveries were handled quickly with good teamwork from the group. The technical sections added a nice balance to the faster flowing terrain and gave everyone a chance to practice car control and momentum management in the dark. As the night went on, confidence across the convoy grew noticeably and the pace picked up through some of the longer dune ranges, linking some ridges and doing some blind high crosses across a few bowls. Overall, it was a really enjoyable drive with good convoy discipline, plenty of ridge riding, and a fun mix of technical and flowing terrain to finish the night. See you on the next escape! @Aser @Abdullah A. @Ash S. @_Herman_

Drive RSVP is closed. See you deflated at 20:00

ahh thats the Fuel Consumption demon I believe 😜

Hello Desert Champions! Hope you are looking forward to an early week drive tonight. It will be quite an exploration. We have a number of gates to find and pass through, and some very unusual terrain in the way that the dunes have formed. I have previously done a recce through here with @ChrisW and it is certainly some challenging terrain, but with some excellent rewards. See you tonight at 20:00 ready to explore, adventure, and ESCAPE! @Abdullah A. @Aser @Ash S. @_Herman_ Ps we will be on radio channel 'Lucky #8'. I will post convoy order before the drive.

DRIVE DESCRIPTION I'll be attempting this drive again after exiting early after 2 hours the other week 😅😅😅😅 We’ll be starting in Salamat, Al Ain, working our way through a fast-paced, high line desert terrain, before heading north towards one of the UAE’s most recognisable playgrounds: The Old Lady dune. This drive will be paced at IM level, with a focus on maintaining momentum, clean convoy flow, and confident decision-making at pace. Expect a mix of ridge riding, long climbs, bowl loops, multiple quick switches, and fast open sections. This is not a sightseeing cruise — it’s a fast, focused, and engaging Intermediate drive for drivers who are comfortable keeping pace, reading terrain ahead, and managing their car confidently in soft sand and in high temperatures. I recommend to not bring passengers unless they are used to very high fast pace driving.

They said nobody makes it out of Al Adlah after dark. They were wrong. Under the cover of darkness, a small convoy of heavily overconfident drivers will attempt the impossible: a full-throttle escape through cursed ridgelines, haunted sabkhas, and soft powder so deep it has claimed axles, bumpers, and entire egos. Engines will roar. Tyres will scream. Compressors will overheat. This is an all-out desert survival spectacle featuring: high-speed ridge warfare blind crests of doom violent side-slopes and at least one completely avoidable refusal caused by “just a little bit more throttle.” Once the convoy enters Al Adlah, there are only two outcomes: legendary escape… or become a permanent waypoint.
