Congrats @khurramm for being our Member in the Spotlight for this week! Your positive attitude, willingness to help, and enthusiasm for offroading clearly shines! And that Tahoe clearly Roars 😁

Hi @soorajrajivekumar we definitely drive in the dunes but rest assured this is an easy beginner level suited to anyone who has never driving in the sand before.

Hi everyone I’m Sooraj Make: Toyota Model: Land Cruiser GXR V6 Year: 2014 Color: Pearl White Previous off road experience: None Vehicle has factory front and rear recovery points I don’t have the radio, flag, tyre pressure gauge, deflator and air compressor yet, but I’m gonna buy them in a couple days and will ensure they’re all working and ready on Saturday. Watched the Newbie Video Briefing. Quick question: what does this particular trail look like? Is it rather plain or are there some dunes involved?

We'll air down at the meet point, warm up through the sand entry, then take on the legendary Old Lady Dune before winding south into Salamat's playground of deep bowls. Expect tall dunes, punchy climbs and a proper run of bowls — Oasis Half Bowl, the 360 Bowl, Al Yarhar and the Egg Bowl — for the ultimate mix of thrill and technique. Fun, fast-paced and rewarding.

Thanks all for joining the drive this morning. And especially to @Emanuel for supporting my 2nd partial lead. We made some good distance, starting near 3 trees, flowing through some nice long range dunes mixed in with some technical patches through to a play area. Unfortunately it was really busy with 3 other convoys and a few single cars also there. We had a short play but left as it was too busy. We then made our way through to the secret garden via some more technical areas, and some tracks. Despite the sand being soft we had a good mix of long range dune flow, ridge riding practice and a few simple criss crosses. As the temp hit 40 we exited 🤪 All in a good way to enjoy a sunday morning. Great driving from the newer FB drivers @Mountain and @Lazy Frog especially with your calm reactions when coming off one of the ridges. We had great support from @J-P L and @Mahesh_.last but not least we had good company and driving from @Hartzel, @khurramm and @_Herman_.

By steering down you absolutely nailed one of the principal rules: “no fighting gravity”. Good choice! (Also, I love that I now know I can post GIFs!!)
