Thank you @Chaitanya D for the wonderful drive. It was a complete drive with sightseeing, refusals, stuck and learning. Really enjoyed it. 

The convoy was blessed with good drivers and cars.

Trip Report:

We all had a extended duration of drive in the technical tight dunes which I suppose everyone enjoyed!!😃

After the initial 90 min , getting to Murquab was a breeze, with some nice tall dune crossings.

Thanks @Jessica Lambert for being perfect 2nd lead in the challenges thrown.

@Alain Canivet-Abikhalil was the savior , tugging shoveling and advising all over the place. Thank you so much for your presence, and help which was a delight to watch. 

@Adnan Halepota swept all together, thanks buddy.

Some learnings:

1. Momentum and approach is important - try not to force your way through the dunes.

2. Straight dunes crossing comes smoothly with practice.

3. Gravity is your friend - never fight it.

4. Please bring the mandatory gear required for the drives - shovel, programmed radio which is charged, off road flag, deflator and a compressor.

Have a nice week at work!
