Mandatory gear required for this drive - shovel, flag, programmed radio, deflator and compressor. 

This area is very bushy with some tight dunes and soft patches at places. We will be heading towards fossil rock for a beautiful sunset and venture towards Khatim or east of fossil rock. There will be enough time and terrain to test your finesse along with doing climbs and sideys.

Make sure your car low lying parts are removed (air dam and plastic parts especially for cars with low ground clearance ) , else you risk breaking them and bumpers for sure 🤣.Drives are always with a disclaimer that I/we are not certified mechanics to sort all issues if any which can happen on sands, will try to help to the best of our knowledge and abilities.

Please ensure Covid appropriate behavior on the entire drive. Deflate to 15 psi for regular tires and 12 psi for all terrain tires

See you on Sunday
