Varun Mehndiratta Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) I enjoy writing Drive reports or for that matter recount of any unique experience i go through - reliving the beautiful journey, reimagining some good some/scary moments through that adventure and just trying to freeze those moments in form of words. However yesterday's drive to Liwa been something unique. I don't think i am as a good a writer to be able to express what a wonderful experience it was. So i'll just say -- it was Liwa, there was @Gaurav , there was a convoy full of energy and skill full drivers and only chatter on radio was about how magneficient the setting is. Thanks @Gaurav for planning this retake drive, i am sure wasn't that easy after all we witnessed in last drive. Thanks all for making it an awesome experience. @Chinthaka Ruwan @Ranjan Das @Ashok chaturvedi @Lawrence_Chehimi @Rawad @marks @Ilya Edited December 18, 2021 by varunmehndiratta 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinthaka Ruwan Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Finally we reached not only to the Yellow Truck but we managed to cross the entire desert and reached to the other side thanks to excellent lead from @Gaurav support from @marks @varunmehndiratta and brilliant driving from the entire convoy also the vehicles. Without all these things together it is a nightmare to cross the unforgiving Liwa landscape. Thanks @Ranjan Das @Ashok chaturvedi @Lawrence_Chehimi @Rawad @Ilya @varunmehndiratta @marks @Gaurav Thanks everyone for the excellent drive and see you all soon on sand. Lot of pictures are in the gallery. Have a wonderful week. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ashok chaturvedi Posted December 19, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Thanks for the report @varunmehndiratta @Gaurav I think this was one of safest drive I could imagine in Liwa. Except few stucks there was no untold instance and near all drivers self recovered. I was quite surprised that two nissan petrol are turning out be heros of sand and climbs and now feel guilty of selling my new top of line NP replacing it with FJ. I did at times try practice using different gear combination for the sidie and tall climbs. The first attempt was based on brute speed and second on low gears for the additional power. It was always the second attempt which made me go higher. Ensuring there is not too much jolt on the engine upper frame with the crack, I was careful. The best experience was to have solo night in my tent. Around 3 AM the temperature dropped to 11 C and needed to tuck in under an extra (last minute pick) blanket. The next gadget I must buy is a cannister stove to prepare some hot tea. The whole day during the drive I was looking for Karak Chai tea stand appearing anywhere...by chance. Gaurav had detoured return, post yellow truck with consensus of all decided the return trip to be in opposite direction of the desert entry. Which added another 150 Kms to my return. I also had to attend my Niece anniversary.. so I drove over 400 kms to reach Dubai by 9.30 pm on reaching went straight to the hotel venue. Could not change clothes or bath.. I must been the (best??) dressed unshaven un bathed stinking among all the suites and booted party guest. Even the hotel staff wondered if I have landed in a wrong party. My wife a bit crossed did spray half a bottle of perfume on me as my relatives and friend as norm were giving me the hugs. All in all.. I thank everyone in the convoy for the enjoyable drive and could not have missed the drive created specially for us, who could not complete the same a fortnight back. 5 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
