Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but no, a minimum of 5 drives is required for this trip.
But please feel free to attend the afternoon drive with our Top Marshall Ahmad who will be able to show you the ropes.

No worries, I just like to be out early morning on weekends.
Is this the afternoon drive? I didn’t see the first word (learners) and saw the word Intermediate :drive:

Thanks

Just wondering: does 2 days Liwa trip last month count as a drive?
quote Artur Loza:Just wondering: does 2 days Liwa trip last month count as a drive?Im pretty sure it does :drive:
would suggest you please check with the leading marshal if this drive is suitable for you as your profile shows this to be your first drive and if so then this drive would not be safe for you or the convoy.
Hey Duncan!

Nice Pics Yohan.Thanks a lot Duncan For organizing and accommodating my friends,great drive and compared to last week the sand was a lot softer with the temperatures rising,Firoz took some really interesting lines and the Sweep team was also kept busy thought the drive.Had to bail out a bit early due to family commitments.see u guys soon.
Thank you all for the positive comments and photos.
From Razik, Firoz and myself, we are glad you enjoyed.
Look forward to our next adventure…………………. :drive:
Hey Group, am finally back 🙂 A few more pictures to add from me :ymhug:
It was an awesome :drive: … Thanks to all who joined and special thanks to Duncan, Firoz and Razik… This was my first drive in the morning slot and it was definitely much different than the evening drives.
A big learning is that power is 30% but 70% depends on who is driving… I floored the V8 but barely made it half way… Duncan & Razik’s last minute pointers worked wonders and I made it to the top of Iftar Bowl…
Pics are of lower resolution for uploading… If any of you wants the original pics, please ping me and I will mail it across.
Last but not least : Thanks Duncan for giving me the chance to join this Fewbies drive. Your feedback is highly appreciated so that I can plan my next drives accordingly.
