@Benje_Junior Congrats, lad - really good to see your skills recognized and move to a position to share your experiences with the club at large. It's been a pleasure driving with you more regularly lately. I remember an early stuck I had which you guided me out from...you have a very good natural coaching style, and as a bonus, it resulted in this cracking picture...

Thank you again for the fantastic drive @M.Seidam. I had a lot of fun with those climbs and the convoy was riding with a very nice pace. That made it possible to practice a lot of ups and downs, keeping the momentum. I really enjoyed it (and my son also😄) Hope to see all of you again in the sand.

@Abhishek Chikara get well soon

@Yurybel @Dipu Francis @saumik1989 @Zubail Dear Desert Drivers, Last updates for tomorrow Meeting at 7:00 am at https://maps.app.goo.gl/LHbFHb1WQUtA55kV7 The convoy order will be We will use Carnity Radio Channel 5. Enjoy the evening,take a good rest, and see you tomorrow morning !

@Benje_JuniorBig congratulations on new level!

@M.Seidam thanks for sharing - I am just trying to do some planning for the evening, to calculate how long it will take approx. to get back to the city. 😃

Hello @M.Seidam super pumped for this ride!!! never done a night drive before 😲 Do you by any chance have the coordinates of the exit point?

Dear Desert Drivers @Yurybel @saumik1989 @Dipu Francis Thank you for signing up for the drive tomorrow. Please make sure your car is ready for the outdoors, and remove unnecessary items from the back seat and trunk areas. Please take the time also to program your radio, referring to the post above if you need to. I will indicate by the end of the day the convoy order. stay tuned ! Please check your route to reach the meeting point. Coming from Nahel on the E95, about 300m before the final location, you will see a road to your right, with a sign "...Winter Camp..." Take that road. It is closed by a fence. Reach slowly to the fence, it will open by itself. Then continue until you see the other cars.

@Ahmed Farouk & @Zak_ due to a medical condition with my pet that need to attend I would like to call off the drive this Sunday. I would encourage you to join some other drive this weekend instead. Apologies for the inconvenience. i would be removing you from that drive and cancel the drive Callander post.

@ChrisW Many thanks mate, it's been a true pleasure driving with you more recently and I'm looking forward to many more drives together! Stucks and refusals just like this one are like their own little puzzles which is what makes this hobby so enjoyable, apart from the high adrenaline dunes that is... 😄I remember this refusal clear as day. Looking forward to catching up soon lad. @Imran Asghar Much MUCH appreciated Imran! Man, it feels like we have been driving together forever, really looking forward to seeing you soon on a drive will take a lot off my mind knowing your supporting the convoy! as said in Star trek lets Boldy Go Where No Man Has Gone Before!

Hi, Looking forward to this big time. Gaurav had me at 16 PSI to start then we moved to 14. I'll take your instruction, but just FYI. I have three gauges (digital + analogue) and they read a 2 PSI variance, so I'm not sure how accurate these things are. See you tomorrow!
