We started slightly later than usual, waiting for some later comers. I had planned to enter desert a bit down the line but couldn’t sustain the temptation as soon as I could enter the dunes. The early entry meant that we met some very tall but soft dunes. We played on some long dunes in Faqaa area and then took…

In our drives around Lisaili and Qudra we see a tall structure, that we jokingly call Eye of Sauron or Chimney. Any time we have a break during our drives it always comes up for discussion. I always had something to say about it and this is a post I wrote on the forums. In recent years, Dubai has been…
It was slightly foggy morning on that Sunday and after a few long-range dunes we ventured into an extremely technical area and obviously it quickly followed by a stuck situation. We recovered from it and played a little more in the long-range dunes of Faqa again and ventured towards Little Sweihan in the Sabkha, briefly touching triple digit speeds. When…
Some new faces, some old. Since there were some Absolute Newbies in the drive the lead mixed the drive to cater to freshers as well as others who had some more experience. Till the first half of the drive it seemed to me that it was a Newbie- and during the break I said so much as well. I guess…
In a support role for a newbie drive at Al Qudra. These days there is no more Absolute Newbie Drives and first time drivers seems to be being added to the newbie drives directly. It went from one a week to once every two weeks to none at all. I was at the center forward, and realized I have a…
This drive was led by a dear friend of mine from the club. I have driven maximum times with them and have good friends apart from being club mates.
