Hello all,

This is my first drive with the club. My only other desert driving experience is the 4 hour session that I had with Gaurav a couple of weeks ago. I will be bringing my 2010 Nissan Xterra Off road- that I bought this week - so first drive with this car. It has tow hooks on the front and back. I also have a flag, compressor and a radio, but I am not sure if the radio will work. Please let me know if radio is a must for tomorrow, and anything else that I should come prepared with. I am quite excited and looking forward to meeting you all tomorrow.

Your car is an excellent car for this activity.  Just take the time to have it properly checked, and replace what needs to be done, and you will enjoy the desert drives !

See you soon

Thank you @Simon D for taking us out in the sand this morning!

Nice and quiet pace, perfect to enjoy the dunes and nice weather.  You have perfectly handled the recovery.  

Rest of the team, thank you for your patience,  and participation to the recoveries when needed. It was nice to see you all. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
