Dear friends

@Adam James, @Fauzia Parveen, @Vishal Nair, @Marcin Wronowski, @Shams Bin Majeed, @munkybizness, @Sudhanva Sonawane, @frederic demolder, @Goh KP, @Harshad Ashraf, @Alex Hollands and @Rizwanm2

Please note positions for tomorrow.

Mandatory gear required for you to join this drive - Programmed radio, shovel, flag, deflator and compressor without which you will not be allowed to join the drive. I don't carry any spare radios with me.

We are driving in a challenging terrain for a Newbie drive and hence please ensure your cars are in the best of their conditions - all fluids checked, spare tire available with the appropriate wrench for lug nut removal.

Myself, @munkybizness and @Rizwanm2 will manage any recovery if any.

We will used channel 1 for radio communications

Thanks for joining this drive

Immense thanks to Rizwan @Rizwanm2and Mayank @munkybiznessfor supporting this drive. Having you was a reassurance that all was well in your watchful eyes.  As you all drove really well , most of the issues were sorted with simple shovel and gear changes.

Pajero guys need to sort your transmission heating lights, which come up especially when you push your car and in this Area 53 , you end up doing that due to the challenging terrain. And to add a skid plate or cover at the back so that the rear bumper doesn’t scoop a lot of sand which will invariably come off.

More Info in the link below ( for transmission heating in Pajeros)

Driver of the day was @Shams Bin Majeed accepting to do 2nd lead in the nick of time and driving really well. Great to see how you recovered from a side slope with simple shovel and manual “blip blip” crawl.

@Vishal Nair used his 4L and diff locks to get out of situations , easily done. Hope you get your rear bumper issues fixed .

@Marcin Wronowski did well except for a smallish dune cross, probably due to lack of momentum or the weight considering the passengers inside your car ( perfectly ok). Why I tell this is even a single extra kilo in your car matters as you progress in your drive levels, and you have to adjust your maneuvering/momentum accordingly.

@Sudhanva Sonawane did well in his montero, hope you get your flag next time around. It is a mandatory requirement.

@frederic demolder welcome back after a hiatus, drove really well considering the soft terrain and churned sands. It is all the driver matter behind the wheel and your experience did the trick for you.

@Goh KP did well in his SWB pajero. You have a great car and with more drives and experience you will definitely become a better driver on sand. We learn with each drive

@Harshad Ashraf was slightly shy of gas in earlier sections, but as the drive progressed you did well considering you were at the back.

You all did really well in this difficult terrain, considering the soft sand and super churned tracks.  Very nice to see your energetic smiles even when you have some refusals and stucks.

Some more pictures uploaded in the gallery 

See you all some time soon.
