The ground is not sandy soft, but more like sandy stone (ooops, I made a funny  ). Sprained or broken wrists are a significant possibility if not careful (they do occasionally land the shuttle on this stuff). You might rephrase to say anywhere with soft, deep sand rather than use the ugly, desert word.

Sorry, I was entertaining romatic Saharan des*rt notions. We have lots of beaches and golf courses in New Zealand, but not very many real des*rts! Perhaps Bedouin TGMers could use this tip though!
