@varunmehndiratta dont worry, like mine your prayers will bring fruit one day 😂.

The question is after this drive will you have the energy to do another drive?

How to recover from a crest without a tug - Can someone please record a video of this being done @Rob S , even better if the entire drive is recorded with script @Looper ? ? The more "a drive is not to be missed" the more it is inversely related to "my Ability to join the drive" ! I will be among those unfortunate ones to miss this one, and wait eagerly for next one with a hope of not to miss that !

Yes, my highness

I don’t dig, i’m a prince

Don’t worry after this drive you will be busy - disposal of torn off clothes and trying to get rid of sand off yourself 😀😀 (atleast in my case both of these are important before I reach home, don’t know why my wife doesn’t go on vacation alone - been long waiting for a vacation 🤣🤣)

Hats off @GauravSonifor your first lead in this challenging terrain ! We indeed met a few times in the sand, and our tracks looks quite similar: No doubt we will be in LIWA again coming winter, either YT or the real LIWA See you soon !

I believe we were both skilled at getting crested in out early driving careers, we did dig you out on a few occasions. As you will be absent, ill happily take your place if a subject is required to be “crested” 🤣🤣🤣 attached was my last experience with mr @GauravSoni we managed to dig 2 of them out!

The previous installment of recovery champion drive was still due…. This covers it up!!!

Congratulations @Sebb for reaching the Fewbie Level , enjoy your new level

Well done @DanielN !

congrats @Sebb !

Trip Report: Yellow truck drive was one of the most anticipated drive for me as i had missed this last year! The description of the terrain and challenges it holds was good enough for the little kid getting super excited to experience it first hand, We had a wonderful start to the trip with campfire, company of wonderful people and laughter all around the previous night joined by our last minute addition of @Brette to our drive. After getting ready for the drive around 8.15 am, we had our quick briefing with @Simon D and @Brett Eicher ( who had done the drive the previous day) letting the YT newbies including Myself on what to expect in the drive. We started moving around 8:30 am towards the North of YT driving through long open spaces until we reached the Sharp drops and Huge Slipface. After correcting our course, we started our roll over the vast expanses of extremely soft sands and long climbs ( which looked normal until i realize that i was hitting gear 1 just to keep the car rolling). We had our share of couple of stucks which were resolved with the team effort of shoveling, Max tracks, and tugs. It was a brilliant to see the team get together to assess the situation, identify possible solutions and then implementing them for a perfect result. Continuing our journey forward, we reached our target around 12.10 pm with a satisfying view of the Yellow truck surrounded by Newbie Convoy of Freddie and Sri. After having the YT all to ourselves and Spending about an hour refreshing, recharging we started our drive back to the exit towards the " Water tanks. We met the Newbie Convoy train making its way to the exit and decided to find some play areas. After playing around on a high slip face bowl, Brette's Grand Cherokee decided to take a break ( transmission heating, 2WD mode). After minutes of persuasion, filling up the gas tank for @Brett Eicher and some more playtime for the @Simon D loud Pajero, we started to make our way to the exit finding the fastest way. We ended out drive at the tarmac at 3:30 pm with big smile and happy faces!! Thanks @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler @Brette @Brett Eicher @Simon D for being part of this Adventure. You all drove amazing and special shout out to @Brett Eicher for driving with sheet brilliance and all the tools for resolving the obstacles one at a time. Some stats: Until Next time!!

@Gaurav this looks very exciting thanks for organizing. Just a question now that saw this weeks drive plan is issued. So this training will be counted as 1 weekend drive? or should we be able to register in any other drive?

Don't worry, will repeat the same again soon for the ones who are busy/traveling.

another brilliant drive with @Hisham Masaadand Carnity group, we started fully enthusiasm and willingness to learn. i meet other drivers and have nice chitchats with them. additionally it was great seeing @Sebband @Frans Magain. thanks to @Hisham Masaadand support team for there usual support and notes which definitely an addition to improve drivers off road skills looking forward to see u all again on sand BR, Ahmad
