We all met at 15:00h and after safety and trip briefing went into the dunes to warm up. After a while we met the Expert group that was playing in the same area for a quick chat. We continued towards the East and Deborah took on the task of doing a part-lead and navigating to a pre-agreed waypoint. Ahmed and Thomas had to leave us at this point due to other commitments.
Thank you both for joining and supporting the trip.

We continued into a nice dune range leading towards the Khazna area, roller-coasting in the clean and nice medium sized dunes. At about 17:30 h we turned around making our way back towards the Al Faya road. Unfortunately we had a pop-out on the way back that took a little longer to fix then expected.

However, we still managed to reach the exit point safely in the last light of the day.
Both Deborah and Surya did a really good job. And thanks to Jean always keeping an eye on us.

Thanks for joining and see you in the sand.

A nice little convoy, always an interesting area.
Our two advances drove very well, a few second attempts and a nice pop out.
Thank you Thomas for this choice and this nice trip.

Congratulations Ahmed for your choice of vehicle, JK of course.

There couldn’t be a better way to leave the working week behind then joining a trip with Thomas and Jean on a Friday afternoon ;-)
Thank you for giving me the chance to lead the group for some time, for the smooth drive through the dunes and for all the support - also from Surya - when my car had the pop out.

Looking forward to see you in the sand!

Belated thanks for an enjoyable drive, perfect way to start the weekend. And we got to enjoy a beautiful sunset while working on the pop-out.
