DRIVE DESCRIPTION A three-course serving of Al Fayah, with something different waiting in each section of the drive. The Entrée: We’ll start from the usual Fayah location and warm things up with some long-range dune riding, getting into the flow before the terrain tightens up. The Main Course: Then it’s into the infamous Fayah Technical Zone. This is where we’ll slow things down and focus on driving smoothly and continuously through soft, difficult terrain. The aim is not to attack every obstacle, but to read the sand, maintain momentum and keep the convoy flowing through the maze. The sand will be soft. There will be refusals. The temps will be H O T. Keep your wits about you and expect to work for your lines. And if we somehow make it all look too easy, there’s a simple solution: back onto the sabkha, return to the start, and do it again. 😎 There is no reward for finishing fast! The Dessert: If time and temperatures allow, we’ll finish with a visit to the desert safari play area for some faster driving and a few big, tall sidies. A bit of flow, a lot of technical sand, and hopefully just enough punishment to earn dessert.

DRIVE DESCRIPTION This one is all about exploration. Starting from the westernmost edge of Al Adlah, we’ll point the convoy east and see what we can uncover along the way. There’s no polished route and no guarantee of a clean line through — the aim is to explore, test possibilities and hopefully unlock some new terrain for future drives. Expect plenty of stops, starts, scouting and backtracking. We may find a promising line only to discover it goes nowhere, loop back toward where we started, or suddenly stumble across something completely unexpected. There’s no pressure to cover big distance. This drive is about curiosity, problem solving and enjoying the process of finding out what lies beyond the next dune. Expect the unexpected. Iced latte coffee will be provided, B Y O Conversation for last 20 minute or so break. Bring a chair.

This looks fun!

Drive Summary We kicked off just as the sun was coming up, taking advantage of the cooler morning and fresh sand in Makhoola. The first section was all about slow, winding turns, wandering around looking for untouched patches of sand and seeing what lines we could find. From there we picked up the pace with some ridge riding, before running into a new fence that we hadn’t seen before. Naturally, we followed it for a while to see where it went and what terrain it opened up. After leaving the fence behind, it was back onto the ridges with some nice flowing sections before finishing through an area of small technical dunes. Plenty to keep things interesting, but with easy exits nearby if needed — a good way to finish the drive without getting committed too deep into the terrain as the temperature started climbing. The GPX track recorded 41.5 km across roughly 2 hours 37 minutes, with the route ranging from around 111 m to 169 m elevation. We were heading out by around 09:30, just in time to beat the worst of the heat. A relaxed sunrise exploration with a bit of everything: fresh sand, smashing turns, ridges, a mystery fence and a technical finish. Great fun and driving. See you all again soon @Danie @Krinesh @ChrisW
