Dear Lisaili Adventurers.. The plan is to start at Lisaili Fort and make our way into the beautiful tightly shaped baby dunes of Lisaili which will challenge our patience and skills before heading out to the famous Lisaili large dunes to play, rev your engines, and enjoy the roaring. Pre-drive details below: 1- Please be on time and bring all your passion for off-roading and pull as much as you can of yourself out of bed.. trust me you will need all of it. 2- Be at the meeting point by 7:00am (or before) and be ready to move max by 7:15am max (deflated, flag erected, 4H on, radio on and set, airbags/traction/abs all set....) 3- Please ensure your programable radio is on, fully charged and set to Channel 2 (446,031) for BLACKs and Channel 4 (446,056) for BLUEs 4- Briefing will be done on on the sand before we start moving 5- Please be prepared for a demanding drive which you will require your undivided attention. Bringing passengers is ok provided they will not be a cause for distraction and don't have known motion sickness or fear of heights. 6- Please ensure everything in the car is tied down and no moving objects 7- Please check all car fluids, tow hooks, and ensure no hanging parts below the chassis. 8- please ensure you come with a full tank (as much as possible) in addition to all necessary gear for this drive level specially your safety flag and radio (NO FLAG or RADIO = NO DRIVE) 9- @Islam Soliman's The BLACKs Convoy: @Serhat Yalcinkaya @Andrei S @Coddiwompler @MMALEK @Claudio C @Yerem Davtyan @arjumand @Azam the Adventurous @Joao @Abdelghani Masad @Awais BinSaeed @Harshal @Beide Worku @Hisham Masaad Radio Channel 2: 446,031 Meeting Point: Lisaili Fort https://goo.gl/maps/tzgAjwaF4E1BqXMw9 (Stay on the RIGHT side of the track) 9- @Vanessa8580's The BLUEs Convoy: @Suresh K @Mohamed Khalifa @Ahmed Mostafa @Amit Seth @Mahmoud Taha @Abdul Basit Khan @Mo. @RiaanJH @James Lovell @Deepak 11 @Amr Aydin @Rob S @Anthony cupit Radio Channel 4: 446,056 Meeting Point: Lisaili Fort https://goo.gl/maps/DksaT4U63bHPdv1S6 (Stay on the LEFT side of the track ) See you all on the sand 😎

@Kailas thanks for the great drive today really enjoyed it, looking forward to seeing the drive stats. The wife enjoyed herself as well which is the most important thing, happy wife happy life lol. @Sunil Mathew-great SL @Rob S@Joji varghese @Rsjiv Samuel @Chris Wing @Anoop Nair You guys were superb and made the drive very memorable, very few refusals etc. So we were able to enjoy a lot of KMs and fast flowing fun. Thanks @Russ great job at the back keeping us all safe and in line see you all in the sand very soon I hope

Thanks. So my 101st drive will be with Prof @Ale Vallecchi. Great.

Thanks a lot @Hisham Masaad @Rizwanm2 @Tom B for the great drives - I really enjoyed the slide slopes and the big dunes !! 😀😀

Thanks @Hisham Masaad, @Rizwanm2, @Tom B for a great drive! The twisty technical sections, the bowls and the long hill climbs all help to refine the skills!

Seems like Prado gang. Good @Waqas Parvezis gone to Liwa. Definitely he would be the 5th one 😂

4 prado, wow

Thanks all for a fantastic morning in the sand!

Confirmed

@Hisham Masaad thanks for a great drive this morning. I really enjoyed the big slopes, as I am sure everyone else did. Thanks also to @Rizwanm2 for providing great support to the convoy. I will post some pics in the gallery section shortly. Although they won’t be patch on @Gertjan’s unfortunately!

@Thomas Varghese I love those tips ! I am too young and novice on the terrain to judge any comments from this group or be offended with any comments. Any comments = good comment and advice ! I need this....Thank you for your advice and i appreciate it.

Amazing drive from all of us today. led by @Tbone and sweeped by @Thomas Varghese - what more can we ask? The dunes were simply inviting today. @Antony Abraham well done mate - you were up to this new challenge. cheers

@Antony Abraham it was a pleasure driving with you and @Imteeaz. You actually did well considering it was your 1st fewbie drive. The only tip I have to give is what my trainer @Frederic taught me. Always aim to reach higher ground during a slide slope by adjusting your approach angle and throttle control from the initial run to climb and not in between. The advantage is you are more in controlling the slide down on slopes. In case you slip then obey your car. That time your car is your master and not you. All other times you are the master. 2nd tip is when coming down after criss crossing a ridge always point your wheels down or minimum keep it straight never point the wheels up. That is a valuable tip from Prof @Ale Vallecchi. Don't consider it as criticizing your style of driving. You are too new to be criticized on styles. If I look at your overall style you are very good. Just a fine tune here and there you will be one with your machine. That is the time when the man and his machine will be invincible in the desert or any terrain. By the way todays drive being my 100th in the club was very special. @Tbone suddenly found a long array of rideable ridges which were not broken, not hard, not too soft - in short perfect rideable ridges. Had my fill of endless ridge riding today. I feel sorry for all those who signed out from the drive. They missed a very special drive from specialist lead @Tbone particularly on this style. You both @Imteeaz & @Antony Abraham rose to the demands of the drive and performed your best. See you soon in the sands. As you were all good at continuing the drive at a steady pace I'm sorry I don't have much pictures to post, but whatever I have will be posted by evening to the gallery.

12degrees when we arrived in the morning and 25degree when we left. @Tbone Thanks for a marvellous drive across the dunes and man I tried keeping up with you all.A short convoy with loads to learn. Thank you @Imteeaz @Thomas Varghese for your having an eye on me and those timely notes and tips to improve. Overall a fantastic day !

@Hisham Masaad @Rizwanm2 @Tom B big thanks for a great ride today. I really enjoyed myself and saw the progress vs my first fewbie ride a few weeks back in the same area! Will put the pictures in the gallery. @Tom B I have a full video of one of your loops with the screaming land cruiser. DM me and I can send you the file directly.

@Islam Soliman @Vanessa8580 Thank you for approving my WL. However, I will have to pull out of this drive because one of my wife's colleagues tested positive and she is awaiting her covid test results. I believe it's not right for me to join the drive without getting into the clear. As much as I want to drive this weekend, I'll opt out and give my spot to the next person in the WL. Shall join for next week's drive. Have a nice drive. Thank you!
