Drive Details

Level:  Fewbie Plus and Above 

When:  5 July 2023, Wednesday.

Meeting time: 3:00 PM (SHARP - Without any exceptions)

Meeting Point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wxXvZntEr11eugfU7

Action Plan:  Taking advantage (supposedly) of the summer break that many clubs take from offroading in the Badayer area, it seems to be a good time to challenge a well-motivated convoy to improve the vertical limit set during previous drives focused on climbing the star dunes of this area. The limit we aim to break is that of 2,000 meters of total ascent. We'll try to achieve this on a long rage drive, from Nazwa's farm to Bezhad Ranch, via Pink Rock, Big Red, and Badayer's many groups of dunes.

Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance.

What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), face mask, rubber gloves, enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Approximate finish time: 7:30 PM
