Great afternoon / evening drive and perfect refresher for me after many months off the sand and to test drive our new (old) Pajero. Some refusals and stucks here and there but the convoy moved steadily, really enjoyable drive. BBQ and some rest with a truly multicultural bunch of kids playing and enjoying their time together was the icing on the cake... we can really hope for a better future! The last stretch was also quite cool, driving in the darkness proved to be an interesting experience, looking forward for the next one!! Thank you all for the drive.

Hi All, it was just my second drive but driving behind @Srikumarand with @Gaurav leading really boosted my confidence and I thought I did fairly well😁. Driving in the dark was an exhilarating experience. It was lovely meeting new people and seeing the kids having a great time. It was the first time in the dunes for my mother-in-law (82), she's been in the UAE for 45 years!!. She's vowed its her last time!!?😂. All in all a fun evening. Thank you Carnity.

Hello all,

It was amazing to get onto the sand with family.

Thanks a lot @Gauravto have accepted my rsvp at the last minute and putting up with my rookie stucks.

A big thanks to @Srikumar for the guidance and best practices for self recovery. It was a great learning for me.

The bbq session and kids playing in the dunes was the highlight of the drive and was thoroughly enjoyed by my family (I had to force them to come and my daughter is already like, when can we go again?) 

Looking forward for more bbq twilight drives in the coming months. Hopefully, I upgrade my skills by then
 
Have a good one guys and do post pics if any. Cheers!
