  4. DRIVE DESCRIPTION We will drive through, around, and over Salamat. If there is sand, we will drive over it. No Refusals. No Stucks. No Radio Chatter. No Breaks. I'm joking about the breaks, we will def have some pauses for tea. If you've done a FB+ with me in Salamat, it will be similar, but faster.

  6. DRIVE DESCRIPTION Under a moonless sky in Al Khatim, we begin. Phase ZERO marks the first chapter in a series of dedicated New Moon drives designed to sharpen night-driving skills and build true confidence in the dark. With no ambient light to guide us, we rely on discipline, positioning, radio clarity, and trust in our convoy. This mission will focus on riding high along the ridge lines — maintaining smooth momentum, controlled throttle, and precise steering under limited visibility. Drivers will practice deliberate criss-crossing on larger dunes, learning to read terrain through shadow, feel, and formation rather than sight alone. The objective is simple: overcome hesitation, refine control, and transform the dark from uncertainty into advantage. This is not a speed run. This is calibration. This is Phase ZERO.

  7. We kicked off right on time at 8PM, engines humming and radios crackling under a perfect desert sky. The convoy lined up sharp and ready — proper discipline from the get-go. We started with a solid 10km stretch cruising along the sabkha. Fast, smooth terrain to warm everyone up before we dipped into the soft stuff. You could feel the momentum building as we peeled off and turned into the dunes. Then it was game on. Once in the desert, it was all about flow. Lots of looping lines, clean ridge riding, smooth transitions. The convoy spacing was on point and the rhythm just clicked. No chaos, no panic — just controlled, technical fun. Ridge work was especially solid tonight. Clean approaches, controlled descents, and no sideways cresting. It’s always good to see drivers reading the terrain instead of fighting it. Massive shoutout to Jerzi on her first Fewbie drive. What a debut. Calm, composed, and taking instructions like a pro. That step up can feel intimidating, but she handled it brilliantly. Proper progression drive. Not a desert night without a bit of mechanical drama — and this is where the team spirit really showed up. Alberto’s car needed some attention, and everyone jumped in without hesitation. Quick assessment, calm coordination, solid teamwork. Special thanks to Chris for sorting out the transfer case. That’s next-level support right there. Having technical knowledge in the convoy makes all the difference, and it was massively appreciated. Thanks JC and Diego for 2L and sweeping duties. I'm sad I missed out on seeing baby camels tho! Please shout at me louder next time! And of course… thank you all for the cookies. 🙏🙏🙏 See you all in the sand again soon!
