    Always welcome Duli :yesss:

    The current weather at Badayer is hot and 40kmh winds. Then Friday morning the heat drops 10 degrees and the wind down to 20kmh. That means Friday morning we will have a perfect playground with sharp ridges and trackless dunes. Let the fun begin……………… :ymdevil:

    Late as always but to let you know

    It was an amazing trip and just like the topic, pure Friday Morning Fun :yesss:

    Thanks Duncan you surely noticed I love your style and enjoy especially the small challenges you integrate in the drive. We had everything in this drive and I had an adrenaline satisfaction all over it. Was surprised I did not require extra bowl circling to keep my nerves calm 😀

    #:-s I would have suffered if i had missed it 🙂

    Thank you all guys for this special experience…hope to see you soon :drive:

    :thanks: for a great morning drive! :drive: It’s great to be out when Badayer is so empty. Having been out of offroading for sometime it definitely took a bit of getting used to especially in the extremely soft conditions – it was amazing to realise how difficult some what normal climbs are suddenly so difficult. Duncan’s drives are always thrilling with the added bonus of some helpful pointers to learn as we go. After starting out at Badayer and seeing Iftar and super bowl on our travels we made it back just as the sun was peaking in time for a lunchtime nap. 😀
