Vaibhav Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Liwa is called the Mecca of Offroaders and Beautiful but it is very challenging . Strapping and keeping all the goods fixed is very important. Edited November 29, 2022 by Vaibhav 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pascal Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Good evening Chaitanya, we (my wife and I) may come tomorrow evening and camp (to avoid the risk of 80km/hr in the morning with the fog). Can you share the coordinate for the camping location where you will be camping if that's ok to join you (I don't know the area). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Pascal camping will be close to the starting point I will be coming there after I finish work which might be well beyond dark. Some others might as well come there earlier - if u can coordinate here, leave your numbers then we can get in touch call me once u reach then I can plan out or let u know accordingly as the situation turns out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Doc, Sri has shared the starting point camping option in the NB thread, just in case that’s the same location you plan to use - might be good to share here. Not sharing as not sure about the plans and don’t want to confuse the group. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
