Drive Plan

Dear Sand Sailors, have you ever been crested on top of a dune?

These magical treacherous curve on dunes have bewitched the best of off-roaders.

"Its not about avoiding getting crested but what you make of it once crested, that define you as an off-roader" - Varun, Circa 2023.  🖖🤘  

Some tend to panic, some wait for guidance and some enjoy the moment by clicking some nice pics - for me, being stuck on top of a dune is step towards Inner peace - its the point when i am not only far away from the hustle of daily life but also alone on a dune away from the rest of the convoy. Those epic moments, before the support team and rest of convoy jump in with their instructions/shovel, offer a perfect time to find some inner peace in one of the most soothing ambience.  Snapshot of my recent ventures with this Inner Peace (observe the calm alignment to the the contours of the dune - mesmerizing, isn’t it 😀😀). Thanks @Naveen Raj for the nice click.

Through this drive - we plan to transverse through the treacherous dunes around Murquab and Lisali  - criss crossing, going up and down and ridge riding all the way - with one and only one agenda - providing the convoy with the ultimate chance to either test their maneuverability through these beautiful curves or experience the bliss of being crested. 

Our maxim for this drive - may there be peace within you, around you and peace all over the world. ☮️ 🖖

@Varun Mehndiratta when I saw the description for this drive I knew I had to be part of it.

 

I’m m somewhat of a cresting connoisseur, with a speciality in cresting  particular ridges. Not the mega, big , medium or small, no i specialise in the ones that you can step out of the vehicle take two steps down to the base of the mound and marvel at how the car is indeed crested perfectly in the middle of the chassis with the wheels almost touching the base of the dune.
 

looking forward to the inner peace ✌️

Hahah that’s the beauty of crests - sometime recovery is easier than explaining to own self that how we managed to get stuck there … 😀

Thanks all for RSVPing for the drive  - it really went off and over subscribed super fast, with a good mix of rides and riders. We have a perfect convoy for the theme of this drive.  
 

Murquab and Lisali area offer a very good platform for a fast paced drive through long range dunes as well some crazy maneuvering experience over tech dunes, ensuring a perfect setting to enjoy the weekend on sand. 
 

I will share the final details of the drive later in week, in due course, a humble request to all - we have 7WL drivers, so anyone who has a change of plans or is not sure to make it for the drive, please update the RSVP well in time - we don’t want to be losing slot while others are waiting. 
 

Thanks again for your positive response to the drive, looking forward to see you all this weekend. Have a nice week ahead.

Dear Sailors hope you are having a nice week. Since we have 7 on WL and most ppl have this as their only drive this weekend, we are reviewing the plans to try and accommodate most  - extend the convoy size or split into two convoys.
 

Request you to please confirm your plan to join the drive - to enable us finalize the plans accordingly. Kindly let us know by EOD today (update the rsvp) to enable us plan accordingly.
