    Drive Summary Report A 100% increase in attendance from last week, with double the number of cars joining us for another night of exploration. We got moving just after 20:00, heading southwest into the unknown and quickly finding ourselves in soft, warm and surprisingly tricky sand. I set the tone early by dropping into a pocket and needing a winch recovery to get free. Not long afterwards, I was stuck again, this time with Giacomo on winch duty and getting things moving once more. We stopped briefly for a quick water break, only to discover that Piotr’s sons remote control car battery had decided it was done for the evening. It was just a quick break, then back into the sand, where, SURPRISE, I somehow managed to get stuck yet again, with Asif and Giacomo coming to the rescue. Despite the recoveries, everyone drove extremely well in what were very soft, warm and demanding sand conditions. The convoy kept moving, people worked well together, and the difficult terrain was handled calmly throughout. We finished with a well-earned coffee stop, before tackling one final challenge: finding our way through the fence labyrinth and back out to civilisation. Exit was made on time, wrapping up another enjoyable evening of exploration, teamwork and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. See you at another coffee club session soon ☕ Thanks @Asif Hussain @ChrisW @Giacomo @JC_E @Piotr.

    Happy Wednesday Everyone! Hope you are still ready for a nice mid-week drive. I'll bring a thermos of ice cold korean coffee-latte, you bring a chair and the conversation for the last 20 minutes or so sit and chill after we have discovered the unknown. I'll release the convoy order at 5pm incase there is any last minute additions or drop outs. Otherwise see you at the meetup at 20:00 ready to GO! @JC_E @Piotr. @ChrisW @Giacomo

  7. 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.

  9. 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.
