Afternoon Newbie Desert Drive - Solar Park - Dubai - 3 Dec 2023

[Zeeshan Patel]

Thank you Gaurav

 

[Gaurav]

@Adam Black I see you have a RAM Rebel, please make sure it has a tow hook in front and rear, as in the past we had to send back a few RAM owners as they were missing the rear Tow hook.

@Gaurav and the rest of the convoy, it is with sincere regret that I need to bow out of this drive. Having been away from the desert for 6 months, I was really looking forward to being out and gazing upon the arrays of solar panels and The Chimney. Alas, urgent medical conditions at home with my partner have forced me to skip out.

We could still be there but it would mean my mind would be more fixated on dealing with the passenger in my cabin than with the needs of the convoy and the thrill I had hoped to return to, that too under the sprightly leadership of that stunning silver bullet Pajero.

 Guess I must wait one more week. Catch you all on the sands very soon.

No worries Mayank, will see you soon.

Wish your better half a speedy recovery, hope nothing serious.

[Fabien Monleau]

Hi Gaurav, unfortunately I have to fly back to Africa and I won’t be able to join you. I wish a good and safe drive 😉

[Gaurav]

MANY THANKS @Aser @Robk @Jeevan Koshy @Sumedh Krishna @Zeeshan Patel and @Sunil Mathew for brilliant teamwork to save LR4 today with tireless efforts and precise instructions at every key stage. Well done guys, you all rock the recovery today.

Apologies @Aidan Kennedy for shouting at times, as left vs right makes a huge difference in these critical angles.

Thank everyone else for your patience and support, yes we had a short spin today, but those virgin dunes without any shrubs was totally worth the chance. And we were blessed with great convoy and cars to enjoy those FB dunes at NB pace.
