Lucas Neo Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Hey Srikumar this sounds like an interesting drive! Deciding between this and the Margham night drive on Fri. Perhaps you could share more about the area? This is only my second off-road drive and will be my first night drive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikumar Posted April 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 @Lucas Neoapologies for the delay in response. Deserts of Sweihan are very famous amongst the off-roading circuit and is known as Little Liwa purely due to the size of dunes and the type of dune formation. Driving in the day light for Newbies, itself can be challenging and can cause an adrenaline rush that those who have experienced can easily vouch. We would be attempting to do the same at night. So double the challenge and double the fun. We are going to be faced with huge walls of sand with soft sand in patches and so like in the MI series, the challenge, should you Lucas choose to accept, is to find our way between the massive dunes of Sweihan with nothing but the bright beams of our headlights and the cool breeze of the night. Good luck. Convoy Numbering : 1. Srikumar - XJ 2. Xavier - Xterra @Xavier Treasurer 3. Lucas - Wrangler @Lucas Neo 4. Farouq - JGC @Farouq Owdeh 5. Mustafa - Pajero @Mus_hus78 6. Hasan - LC @Hasan Wahlan 7. Ruan - Wrangler @Ruan van den Heever 8. Vinod - Xterra @Tbone Further, I wish to strongly emphasis the COVID9 guidelines of the club. Please step out only for deflating your tyres (with face mass on) and once done get back into your cars. Park your cars at sufficient distance from each other. The meeting point has been updated on the drive post. See you there at 9:30 PM. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
