@munkybizness@Rajesh NG@Ahmed Wagdy@DanielN@Richard Franks@Hisham Masaad@Frans M @Tom V@Marketa Dobesova@Pacific@Andrei S@Looper Another great morning out with a fantastic convoy of passionate offroaders ! I am glad to be able to get people to join in these drives ! They relax me more than any desert drive does and allows us to traverse different sets of terrains and keep it doable in this hot weather. We started from Al Daid Fort, which was our ancient supply route which we wanted to emulate and traced a route to Dibba Al Hisn with various types of terrain. As i wanted to start the drive at 25psi this was initially very doable but once we reached the soft sandy areas where we could not use available farm tracks, it proved to be a bit too high, so we brought it down to 20psi or 15psi and continued the drive. This drive took us through various tiny villages as well, where not a lot of life was seen. I can only think the villagers were on the couch watching Netflix as that's about the only sane thing to do around noontime in this weather It was a great feeling to finally reach the beach and get a shot with my Carnity family ! You guys and gals made it so much fun ! Great support from @munkybizness @Looperand @Pacific to guide us safely through the streets and deserts. Thanks guys really appreciated ! A short relive video can be found below: https://www.relive.cc/view/v8qkpkVV3Kv See you all soon in the sands / streets / deserts again !

Congratulations @DP1011 on becoming an advisor. It’s a well deserved promotion.

Thanks everyone for the fun excursion and beautiful drive. A bit more fun in the sand than anticipated, but all is good once we go below 25psi Forgot to pause the stops where we saw things, but pretty indicative of the drive's magnitude!

Really nice drive , I enjoyed the technical terrain a lot @GauravSoni and only ran into one turn that I had to do the old, stop and reverse to make the tight turn, of course my rear bumper took a few more hits, a metal one is in my future. great to catch up everyone . See you at ARB @Stumpy Paj @Benjamin @Joseph Raju any update on the patient , electrical or mechanical issues ? @Ahmad Nerat great photos and ideas on positioning the cars for a photo shoot , while the rest of the convoy was in recovery mode. that was a fun area.

Great to meet you too @Ahmad Neratand look forward to seeing you on future drives. Thank you to @GauravSonifor executing a very unique and enjoyable drive. If it wasn’t for the “commentators curse” at the end it may have been a uneventful morning however it’s those last moments which is what makes these drives so enjoyable as everyone bands together to help each other out. And as you can see from the map below we were true as could be in holding 24.8 degrees. Next trip is 24.8 degrees squared 🤣

Congratulation @DP1011

Thank you @Fredericfor another expeditionary trip today 🙏🙌🙏 I couldn’t have spent Sunday better and I was super excited trying to drive in the desert on high psi 🤩🤩🤩 Such an awesome experience and learning ☺️👍👍👍 Thank you for doing these trips and look forward to more 🌻

@M.Seidam Thank you so much for the wonderful night Drive. Looking forward for many more night drives.

I like your calm & composed handling of the senior LC 76 👍🏻, treating it as a precious gem being navigated through a fun journey to reach the rewarding exit 🏆 . I'm still at the euphoria phase after getting my LC 100 back, especially with the Unichip and open cone air filter removed, so at times I push too much on the throttle worrying I don't have enough speed when in fact i have enough 😂 Great driving together, until next time, fellow LandCruiser 🫡

Thanks @GauravSoni for organising this drive, it was an enjoyable TTT. super Soft sand areas as expected. @Anoop Nair executed sl brilliantly. Thanks for @Mehmet Volga , @Benjamin and @Joseph Raju for the support and keeping the convoy in order. All drivers did amazing in today drive, the maturity of the drivers and the sand driving skills is an ongoing practice... Patience and safe practice would take all of the drivers for different level of skills and self-confidence. Im very happy of being a member of this club.. it was nice meeting u @Bravoecho and @Stumpy Paj I took some nice and interesting pic for @Gary F car check the drive gallery's. 😉 till next drive, stay safe and tuned for next challenge🤗🤗 Ahmad

Congratulations @Simon D✌️✌️💥, pleasure to move up with you:)

Hi @DanielN ! The scenic drives are very similar to overlanding. This time we won’t be spending too much time in the dunes but head out further into the mountains and there’s a bit of tarmac also involved to get to the point where we need to be.
