M.Seidam Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 Dear Friends First of all i wish every one of you a happy prosperous new year coming full of success and joy. off roading is an art which demands practicing and refining the skills and this in my opnion comes with regular trips , patience, observation, paying attention to the fine contours and details and its never enough and there will be always more to add , correct and learn as the final picture is aint defintive and keeps on changing like the dunes itself!. one of the peculiar and top of this art is driving in technical terrain where speed is not at all the feeder to our hunger but the appropriate momentum and super senstive senses between you and your vehicle in one hand and the local environment on the other hand. In a very less frequently driven area by the offroaders generally is the southern part along the solar power tower area probably due to its relative remotness and supersoft sand as well as the true technicality of this particular spot. So prepare your gear and check it ahead. also check your vehicle readiness please . the last thing we want is to leave a broken car in the middle of no where in the first day of 2023. stay tuned for more. meanwhile wish you good week ahead.
