Srikumar Posted September 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Drive Plan This is an area that I would be driving after a very long time (more than 3 years), and while I dont expect the dune formation to change drastically, I do expect that there might be some surprises in the form of additional fences, pockets, etc. So please bring along your exploration cap and as my intent is to scout the entire area which hosts loads of pyramid shaped dunes, massive bowls, and some star dunes as well. In such kind of dunes and at a Fewbie+ level, it will be about keeping up the momentum and also having the right amount of distance from the car in front. And you will be revving your car to its limit on every step of the way. So look forward to catching up with the Sweihan boys this weekend. P.S. The meeting point has been updated on both the calendar event as the drive post. 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
