This morning’s desert drive at Lisaily was an mix of adventure, skill, and breathtaking scenery. Lisaily’s dunes never disappoint, and today was no exception. A particular highlight of the drive was going to @DP1011 "DP Hill", which proved quite fascinating and challenging. Its sharp ridges and pockets tested our driving skills, adding a satisfying adrenaline rush to the experience.

The drive wasn’t without its interruptions, though. Another convoy repeatedly intersected our path, causing some frustrating delays and breaking the rhythm of our drive. Nevertheless, we managed to navigate through these moments with patience and lots of hold time.

Parts of the route were quite bushy, requiring careful maneuvering, but the variation in terrain only added to the thrill of the drive. The scenery, combined with the crisp morning air, made the effort all the more rewarding.

A big thanks to @Looper for leading the drive so seamlessly and @Ishak for a wonderful second lead and to @Rob S for his excellent sweep role, ensuring the convoy stayed safe and organized throughout. Despite a few interruptions, the drive was thoroughly enjoyable, showcasing the best of what Lisaily has to offer. Looking forward to many more mornings like this!

And yes, Wishing you all A Very Happy and Fulfilled New Year guys. @DP1011, @Looper@Ishak@nithish468@khlief@Shahid Mehmood@J-P L@Waqaɾ@Andrei S@Alphin Aloor, @Frans M, @Gautam Banka, @Mahesh_, @Rob S, @azad, @Amir Amiri

“Absolutely! It would be great to have a part two trip to DP Hill in the coming weeks to take on more of its challenges. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year 2025 in the meantime!”

Obviously, the pièce de résistance of the drive was DP Hill. We spent more time at the foot of it than actually driving it and only half of the convoy could manage a go at it, and rest looped behind @Rob S. I could understand the FOMO that another convoy was having because it is the same with me. You want to go around it as much as possible, but it is a very difficult place to navigate and there is only one track that can be taken it being a super tight technical area. Hopefully we will be back soon.

Rest of the drive after DP Hill was so so, and the desert is even greener than I anticipated. Unfortunately, our Plan A and B failed. But for me it is the journey, which is important than the destination, so exited on time at Muquab itself.

Thank you all for joining this year-end drive with me and wishing you all a very happy new year.
