Hi Fred, some confusion on this one. Is it a newbie or a fewbie? Listed as newbie on WhatsApp 😅 cheers. 

[US25]

I have RSVPd assuming (hoping) it's newbie...😀 so please confirm 

[Frederic]

Sorry guys it's indeed a FEWBIE level drive. Sorry for the confusion.

@Sumedh Krishna@Alex K@Suneedh Wrangler@Chrismayer

My apologies for the confusion on the Whatsapp notification. This is a Fewbie level drive.

[Sumedh Krishna]

Hi Frederic. I’ve just been accepted, so I’ll leave the group as sadly still a newbie.

RSVP IS NOW CLOSED

Thank you all for joining @Sam Selim@Vijaya Kumar Doppa@B.K.@Mei ling@Aggy22@Amr J@Abdullah A.@Nathan@Rob S

Our plan for tomorrow is to explore the wider area around Pink Rock a bit, and make our way towards Big Red. Please try to arrive 10-15min earlier so there is time to deflate and set up the flag and perhaps sip a last cup of coffee before we head out. 

We will be using Channel 6 on our radios: 446.13125 Mhz. 

Do make sure to bring your shovel, radio, compressor, and pressure gauge along. 

@Rob S will be our support for the drive but we should not let him shovel all by himself 😁

 

See you all tomorrow !

Except @Rob S lives for the shovelling…especially when it’s helping a crested F150 😉😅

Thanks everyone for a great morning out! We had a good run, starting from the Tawi Nazwa farms and first making our way north-east towards a nice area. This is where Mei Ling found some soft sand  

Next we headed out to Pink Rock and climbed it from the South side climb where we took a small break. Then we headed further South towards Big Red where on our way we found nice rolling dunes. A small puncture in @Sam Selim his tire meant we had to put the spare tire on. 

@Sam Selim fantastic second lead duties !

@Vijaya Kumar Doppa you're improving every drive consistently, keep it up !

@B.K. Very well driven today !

@Mei ling excellent driving today! Try to experiment with tire pressure around 10psi as your tires seem a bit heavy. Make sure to double check with a second pressure gauge to make sure the first one is working correctly. 

@Aggy22 First Carnity Fewbie and hardly broke a sweat! Well done!!

@Abdullah A. our Pajero man of the day! Always ready to help even when fasting. Brilliant driving mate !

@Nathan Superb drive for you mate, squeezing that big Ford through all the bowls we took. Very impressive

@Rob S your support and help today was more than brilliant. I could not ask for a better help. Thank you so much.

You'll find some photos in below gallery. Feel free to upload yours as well.
