Thank you so much @Wrangeld and @Alex Raptor for a wonderful and amazing session. It was my first ever experience to drive in sand by myself. 

Learnt a lot about handling my beast and also enjoyed so much. I should admit that Initially I was scared to drive but eventually started enjoying riding.

Our Coaches were so amazing and patient at all times and always giving some many tips . Really thank you so much. looking forward to have more drives

Thank you @Wrangeldand @Alex Raptorfor the wonderful drive! After waiting in ADNOC for about 40 minutes, I figured that I could slide the positive crocodile clip under the plastic flap covering the battery and hook it on the positive terminal, The negative I clipped on to the hood gas lift shock/strut and within the next 8 minutes I managed to get all tires inflated. There is no need to take the flap /clips or anything else off. So new discovery made under duress!! 

Thanks again guys!

Hello

@Wrangeld@Alex Raptor

Thank you for the wonderful off road experience. I appreciate your patience and passion you displayed through out the drive..............

 

@Wrangeld welcomed me with a beautiful puddle splash of my windshield near to the meeting point (that was refreshing). At, the meeting point, we were instructed to deflate the tyers to 15 PSI. To be frank that was not easy as we see in any ADNOC fuel station. However I would like to thank @Sunil Mathew for his deflating and inflating mock up before the ride, which helped me lot.

Before we move to the desert  I asked the ceremonial question of an absolute Newbie without fail. I asked @Wrangeldabout all the relevant modifications I should undertake for my next drive..... that too before completing my first drive. However, @Wrangeld ,with all respect due to an absolute newbie, said, let us see how much tear you would shed on first drive and then we will decide on the modifications.  And as predicted I shed lots of tears in the desert.

From the meeting point we moved to the desert and assembled at a point for the briefing. @Wrangeld started the briefing and handed over to @Alex Raptor for further briefing. That was the time I noticed a small yellow toy car on @Alex Raptor hand. Without much deliberation I concluded, this guy should be a hardcore car lover...otherwise who would carry his childhood favorite car toy for an off-roading. As he progressed with his briefing, suddenly @Wrangeld wielding a shovel in his hand started to dig sands in some obscure shapes inside the circle we  stood. I thought @Wrangeld should be bored of this lectures, that is why he should be playing with the shovel. I could easily relate him, because I use to watch You Tube in almost all our online meeting during Corona days.

Then, @Alex Raptor started explaining how we should jump over dunes. To make things clear he kept the yellow toy car on the sand bump made earlier by @Wrangeld with his shovel......Little did I know that @Wrangeld was making a sand dune with the shovel and @Alex Raptor was planning for a mock jump with the toy car in his hand. And, that was a beautiful explanation from  passionate teachers....

As began our drive we stuck many times in the desert , but both of them provided proper guidance for the rescue.  However, as our drive  progress we slowly feel the rhythm of the drive..... we feel the beauty of the desert...........

It was a great experience....Great learning........

Thank you @Wrangeld and @Alex Raptor
