  4. Morning Fewbie Desert Drive - Murquab to Faqa - Dubai - 19 Aug 2023

    Posted

    @Davie Chase and @Frederic , the today’s drive was a true class for me on how to lead a convoy with kindness and patience. I think almost all of us got stuck or refusals  at the higher temperature of the day and you were there to support us with NEVER loosing the good sense of humor and always in a positive way. It was an amazing role model and this drive will be recorded in my memory. All my respect and gratitude for you 🙏🙏🙏🙏.

  16. Morning Fewbie Desert Drive - Some Like It Hot: Al Hayer to Faqa - Dubai - 3 Jun 2023

    Level:  Fewbie and above (all levels)

    Meeting time: 7:00 AM (SHARP - Without any exceptions)

    Meeting Point: TBC

    Action Plan: As summer approaches, most drives are moved up earlier and earlier in the morning, to make sure that drivers and (most of all) cars avoid the summer heat. Personally, I have always been fascinated, and loved, the desert's extreme conditions, heat being one of them. I truly feel like I am in the desert when it is windy, dusty, and most of all HOT. For those of you who share the love for extreme conditions, this will be the perfect drive. Temperature at 6:00 AM, on average, are presently around 28 degrees, rising to 38-39 around 11:00 AM, with a gradient that should still allow a reasonably normal drive. Of course, we'll have to manage our driving style to fit the conditions of the sand and avoid overheating. 

    The area where we'll be driving is quite mixed, with nice bowls, long range dunes, some technical patches, and very few sabkhas. 

    Not always, in the course of explorations or expeditions one can drive in the comfort of cool weather, so this drive may be a good challenge and opportunity for those who may be thinking of experiencing long-range drives. If you like it hot, you should be joining. 

    Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance.

    What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, face mask, rubber gloves, enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

    Approximate finish time: 11:00 AM

    P.S. Only join if you have a compressor to inflate your tires after the drive.

    LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE:

    • Limited to 10 cars maximum. RSVP will close on Wednesday - 5 PM.
      • If the RSVP is full and you wish to join, please mention your name on the drive thread to add on the waiting list
    • Latecomers will be returned back - without ANY EXCEPTIONS.
    • Members without RSVP will be returned back - without ANY EXCEPTIONS.
    • Members that do not confirm the terms of the COVID requirements will be removed from the RSVP list.
    • Please withdraw your RSVP, if you aren't joining, so your spot can be taken by others.
    • Repeated no-show members after RSVP will have their account suspended for a month.
