Drive Briefing. We will enter on the western side, driving along some sand track, before entering some dunes with a bit of vegetation. After picking our way through here we will enter the BLUE zone where we will spend most of our time playing around on the ridges, finding some sidies and maybe testing time short but tight technical dunes. Depending on the heat and the vibes, we will either push on and attempt some higher dunes before exiting at the east side of the camel racing circuit, or we will head due south and exit at the Tilal Resort.

Drive Summary. After a few months away, this was my first drive back after the crash — and it felt very good to be back behind the wheel and in the dunes again. The original plan was a nice, easy Fewbie night drive. Nothing too ambitious, just a chance to get back into the rhythm of desert driving. That plan lasted until we reached the long-range dunes, where we decided to turn things up a notch. From there, it was ridge riding non-stop. We found some fantastic long ridges and managed to keep the convoy moving with very few interruptions. As @Asif Hussain put it, we had “amazing flow — smooth as butter.” It was one of those drives where everything just seemed to come together. The night also delivered plenty of desert wildlife. Along the way we spotted mice, rabbits and several scorpions, adding a bit of nighttime wildlife watching between the ridges. By the end of the drive we'd covered around 40 km in 2 hours 30 minutes, which gives a pretty good indication of just how well the convoy was flowing. We finished with a relaxed 20-minute chat over iced lattes and popcorn — not a bad way to wrap up my first drive back. A drive that was supposed to be an easy return to the sand ended up being considerably more energetic than planned, but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Great ridges, great flow, great company — and very good to be back. Thanks @Asif Hussain and @Giacomo for the excellent drive, let's do it again soon!

Hi @Asif Hussain & @Giacomo Hope you are looking forward to an easy paced night drive tonight. Should be a very nice looking cresent moon hanging above us to enjoy whilst exploring Fayah. @JC_E might join us as well. I was out there last night and the temps are dropping to a nice level by the time we expect to finish, which will be perfect for a quick coffee or tea break. See you there tonight!
