Easy Night Social Drive, family friendly Coffee in the Dunes Club

Coffee Club Mid Week Night Drive | Slow, Social & Family Friendly Fancy seeing what the dunes are like after dark? This drive is for beginner and intermediate drivers who are comfortable in the sand during the day and want to give night driving a go. If you’ve never driven at night or have only done it a few times, you’re in the right place. We’ll keep the pace slow and enjoy a scenic drive through the dunes. Everything looks a little different in the headlights, so we’ll take our time and give everyone a chance to get used to it. Around 22:30, we’ll find a spot in the dunes, pull out the chairs and have a coffee together. Bring the family, something warm to drink and a story or two. A chair and a good mood are mandatory 😎 No previous night driving experience is needed. The idea is to give you a relaxed first taste of one of my favourite ways to spend an evening in the desert. If you come away wanting more, our night driving training sessions are a great next step. See you in the sand!
