Nice ride all. Had a good time. Learned something new, as always. @Janarthanand @Tbone, well done on leading. Always enjoy being in convoys with you fellas. Also always appreciate you showing me the ropes. @Veedooshee Great job correcting the path. Made things smooth. Overall, I’m a fan of exploration drives. Made the drive feel like it was a bit of everything. Like two different drives. Very cool. Cheers all. I’ll catch you on the next one 🍻

Thanks @Janarthan@Tbone for a wonderful drive through the diverse terrain and two very diff leading styles...

 

Every hour we had a new element in the drive. Starting with @Janarthan back breaking bumpy exploration  to @Tbone changing the gears with fast paced side sloping and steep ascents at the end.

Overall an immersive learning experience in adjusting to fast changing terrain. 

@Veedooshee and @Shaaz Sha you really made it easy for me to follow through the drive. Thanks for the same. @Javier Lucero i hope the LWB didn't create too many challanges for you on its way..

Thanks all for lovely morning. Hope to catch up with you all soon..

Hi buddies, thanks everyone for a super day offroading. Today we had a combo pack where the drive pace and the diversity of the terrains were different throughout the drive. We had superb treats while exploration sort of drive from @Janarthan where we had to manuver through bushy areas and some technical patches . We had a strong and capable convoy ready to take up any challenges and with ease we made it to the other side of the road and from there to area 53. After almost 30 min of drive in area 53 it was @Tbone in the lead with more pace and many more ridge rides and criss crossings. I believe We all had the maximum out of today's drive. Thank you @Veedoosheefor the second lead, you were too good and made it easy for me. Wrangler boys @varunmehndirattaand @Javier Lucerohad no issues at all in managing the terrain and the full size trucks @Dodi Syahdarand @amir amiridid very well coz they had to make it through churned up and very soft sand. We had very few refusals and  stucks, but dealt with it very fast and we made to the exit 15 min before the mentioned time. Really cool 👏👏👏👍 thank you guys and see you soon. Some pics in the gallery..😊

A Saturday drive as you would wish for😉

The first drive at 5:30, sun was up already, enjoyable temperature to start this drive. Once at the entry point, I realized I have never been at this specific location and was delighted to know that we gonna get to do some exploration along with our lead @Janarthan and our support @Tbone.

So there we started with our short but great convoy indeed with some exploration like roughly an hour. But then it turned out to be quite bumpy due to the bushes around, but really quite nice and slightly technical path once you made it on the higher part of the dunes.

So @Janarthan decided to take us to the Area53 for some intermediate fun. And there we go we had plenty of fun as Jana lead us through that area. Really well done to him for taking us to most of the ridges that were not crushed the days before🤨.

We all definitely had great fun, as we had some exploration time, fun times at @Area53, and undoubtedly great section lead by @Tboneas well. We also managed to drive most of the time and Jana did mention that we covered around 60km (  @Janarthan please correct it if its wrong🙂) which was also nice.

Kudos to the team we had on the drive. Thank you everybody...
