Drive Details

Level:  Newbie and above

Meeting time: 03:30 PM

Meeting Point: TBC

Action Plan:  Beginner off roaders usually need to familiarize themselves with a few key maneuvers and skills, necessary to drive on sand (even if they have been off-roading on mixed and rocky terrains). These driving skills, at a minimum, are 1) straight crossing of dunes, 2) side sloping and 3) ridge riding (in this case it will be on wide, not dangerous, ridges). On top of these, we'll look into easy self-recovery maneuvers. Each of these skills will be presented, demonstrated and practiced, individually, by each member, so that they may leave the drive having gained a more in-depth knowledge of the essential elements of sand driving.

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, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn.

Approximate finish time: 07:00 PM

P.S. Only join if you have a compressor to inflate your tires after the drive.

• This drive is limited to 12 cars only. RSVP will close on Saturday at noon.

• Please withdraw your RSVP, if you aren't joining, so your spot can be taken by others.
